[…] If you’re going to send a holiday greeting, make it stand out. Make it funny if you’re so inclined, write a poem or a heartfelt story about the image on the card, or include a favorite family recipe. Make it personal. […]

I had two major surgeries in the course of 2 months and moved two salons during ( if you dont work you dont work there seems to be there way salon owners think) and I sent hand written notes to everyone. I have not lost a single client thank god! Its the little things that go a long way. They feel connected to you as a friend when you take time out to remember the small things. Fortunatly it has paid off for me bc I am still doing well even after missing so much work and moving so much!!

The little things go a long way when it comes to keeping a client versus losing them. Clients want to know that the professional they are visiting and paying money cares about them. And the more personal you can make it, the more the client will value you.

Once again, great ideas. Eventhough I am a polite Southern lady, this might have slipped by me…my business skills need honing. Love the idea of handwritting a note…and when appropriate including a gift that is both useful to the receipient and moves your business along. Thanks so much Alyson and Michael (love your artwork, too)!

I use a system from sendoutcards.com. The system is all online and I can ‘print’ as few or as many as I wish. You can either use their line of cards for when you simply want to convey a greeting or upload one of your images to send to a collector or prospective customer – inform them of new pieces or remind them of a piece they have shown interest in. I also send a thank you card to every customer with an image of the painting they have just bought. I also use them to send as invitations to showings.
Anyone who is interested may take a look at http://www.sendoutcards.com/mfasi
