Greetings every body! Brian and Kelly Sutton, in a previous post mentioned a post card that they sent out to all their customers during the logo change. They wanted me to post it so you all could see it and take advantage of it, so here you go!
Good job Brain and Kelly. We recently used this with our own discount and it’s already working. Thanks.
Let us know how well it turns out or is turning out for you. Great idea. I might go with a bit lower on percentage but is a wonderful idea.

i mailed out 850 postcards last week that were very similar. So far i have scheduled 5 jobs, which this time of the year for me in Iowa is pretty good. I only wish that i had a shorter exp. date. I made it good until March 31. The first 2 calls were for March 30 and 31st. the other 3 were for this week. I also went with 20% off. Which is the largest percentage i have ever done.
We have done a holiday mailer for the past 3 years. Works well. We do $25 off, and also send (3) $20 off coupons that are for new customers only that they can give out to friends/family. We do expiration date of 3/31, but extend it out to 5/31 for any customer that we cleaned for in Nov or Dec.
An update on my mailing. 28 jobs totaling $5116.00
I filled my schedule book to the end of Feb. My post card was good from 1/1/07 through 2/28/07. Booked 67 jobs and pulled in $14,500. Average invoice of $216 @ 25% off. Still made money! I think my wants her cut of the dough. There goes the profits!!!!!!
Should read “I think my WIFE wants her cut of the dough”
My card hasn’t done that well, yet. I made mine good until the end of March. I sent it out in the middle of January. So far $1832.56 out of 12 calls. I have 5 jobs scheduled for March to add to that. I have averaged $152.71 a job. I am sure as the weather gets better I will get more calls but still disappointing. 🙄
oh, by the way, i sent out over 800 cards!
Hang in there Leo. It will turn out fine. If not now, they may call in a year or so. I still have flyers I passed out 2 years ago working for us.

Final tally not yet in, but it looks like I am going to do around $6000 in business with about 30 jobs. So far i have averaged $170.00 a job. I am going to have the best March I ever had this year!!!
I had another card printed that i am going to send out next week for 15% off.
we are just starting out and thinking of doin a mailing. who do you guys use for mailing? how many do you ship out at a time? do you purchase a name list from the printer or get your own and supply them? and how long do you normally give before expiration? Any info on mailings would be greatly appreciated. I wish even greater success for all of HB this year.
