Marketing Brainstorms for 2008
Some new ideas that came to me this year have to do with client appreciation gifts and holiday cards. First of all, as a thank you to my newest clients, I have given a porcelain tile (6 x 6) with the image of the subject on it. (wooden frames can be added) The tiles can be used near the stove for hot pots, as a coaster or an art piece. I have also offered them the ability to have tree ornaments made for family and friends with the images on them. I am sending the information and prices out in an email newsletter to past clients, also.
The second idea that has worked out well is that I gave each client a cropped version (head) of their portrait on a CD) (included the full image also) to place on a holiday card. Along with the CD, I included return address labels with their address and a mini photo on it. These clients took the CDs to COSTCO and had 100 cards made with the photo on it for about $16.00. They paid for my advertising! They loved the cards. What could be more of a Win-Win than that?
