Gold VA's,
I've also send out letters and flyers, with mixed results. They do work if you can reel them in in the 1st 2 lines. Good luck!

Smile Re: Do Flyers work
My postcard blitz was a flop, but I'm going to do it again.

I've changed my niche & target market. I'm also going to have a special offer. My last cards were sort of educational - "How a VA can help you!" - but I didn't have any incentive for them to call me.

My next cards are going to be cheaper, too. Have you seen how they look after going through the mail? A slightly lower quality of print will not mar their appearance, I assure you.

For the record, I sent out three separate mailings to the same list of 600, about 6 weeks apart.

Hi Beverlee,
I would like to add post some flyers in your local libraries too and pay
someone $10 to pass out your flyers or post cards.
Always Family, Friends, and Associates to spread the word about your business.

Create a Blog which is like another form of a website at www.blogger.com
or www.wordpress.com
Create a Business Page on www.twitter.com and www.facebook.com

Have a great day!

Giving fliers are useful if you give them to the proper people. what we do is we study your target audience and see what homes subscribe to what and focus the mailing on the target population. The return rates are wonderful if you give the mail to the right people.

Does anyone use their Chamber of Commerce Business Center information rack to put their marketing info? I was thinking of joining to take advantage of that and the meetings and mixers to meet potential clients.
