Easy Marketing Idea and The Best New Year's Gift

I was checking my phone messages and was absolutely moved by what one of my vendors said on my voice mail.

A staff member from the company that owns the two Inns where I host my Biz Breakthrough Retreats each year, left me a warm and friendly message saying how much they appreciated my business in 2011 and that they hoped they could have the pleasure of working with me again in 2012, and ended the call wishing me a Happy New Year.

No offers, no up sales, no gimmicks, just a nice, heartfelt message of appreciation.

It blew me away because almost no one ever does this anymore. That is, simply reaching out to say thanks without some sort of up sell.

If you're looking for a way to connect with your clients, past and present, this is a really good one. (I like to do this during Thanksgiving but January works just as well.)

It costs very little, if only a little time and stamps if you plan on do this in written form via a hand written note.

It's an easy way to stand out, make you and your work memorable and bring a serious dose of authenticity and connection to your marketing.

Love it.

Here's to a wonderful year ahead,

Karin
