I just got a nice holiday card from a vendor…opened it up, and his business card was enclosed! I don’t know about you, but to me, this is a bit of a turn-off. What this commuicates to me is, “I’m sending this card as a way to remind you to do business with me.” I think this message would have been much more effective had it not included a business card.<\/p>\n
One thing I learned long ago – do things without being salesy and you will stand out from the crowd. When I meet someone at a Chamber function, I send them a nice letter saying how nice it was to meet them, and that I look forward to seeing them again at future events. That’s it. No card, no “please let me know if I can be of service..” Why? because that’s expected – because that cheesiness is what everybody does, so I just send a letter saying “Nice meeting you,” and by doing that I think I look like I am more genuine and have more integrity.<\/p>\n
