Hi,

I was just going to start my next marketing champaign by doing a mailshot to local small businesses that I think maybe interested in my services, then I got to thinking, apart from the covering letter to explain who I am and what I do and a business card what other stuff should I include in my introductory pack. I don't want to over do it and send so much info that they don't even bother to look through it, but I want to send enough to engage them, and make them want to know more.

Thanks

Karen

My personal stance on this would be to drip feed the information in small chunks. So you maybe send them an introductory letter, a series of postcards, a series of emails, follow up with phonecalls etc. Because it means you remain front of mind for longer and it establishes a rapport with the client.

Having said that I was in the DREADED DENTIST the other day and they sent out a really nifty info pack with lots of personalised information and all my records in it.
