120 - Building Relationships Using Cards & Gifts with Maelea Galyon


Building relationships through gratitude will amplify the impact your marketing already has. It's about relationship marketing, and using cards and gifts is one of the easiest and most cost-effective marketing tools you will ever use.  

Good Intentions

Maelea Galyon is my guest today from Send Out Cards and as she explains we all have good intentions, but not taking action on these intentions is what lets people down. 

Using Send Out Cards helps you take action right there and then. You can:

  • Thank you somebody
  • Celebrate somebody
  • Recognise somebody
  • Mourn with somebody

This is all done through her website buildingrelationships.cards

And if you go to the website everyone is entitled to one free card to test out the system. 

Last Time

When was the last time you sent someone a postcard or a simple thank you card? If you can't remember it's been too long. 

Not Handwritten

Some people say the cards are not handwritten and therefore do not have the same impact, but this is not true. It's the intention behind the card whcih is important. 

Cost Effective Marketing

Many businesses spend thousands of dollars on monthly advertising, whereas sending out a card, including postage can be done for as little as $3.00. 

Maelea gave a great example of a plumber who sends out a thank you card to every client just for letting him give a quote and bid on the job. And another one after he gets it.  (Very Smart)

It's A Marketing Tool 

Thanking people can become a simple process and it will increase business referrals. 

Use the 80:20 Rule. 80% of your touches with the client should be about celebrating them and 20% about asking for business and referrals. 

No Negatives

No one will ever complain when they receive a thank you card or small gift. It just won't happen. So if there are no negatives there are only positives for doing it. 

Increased Awareness

Once you build a habit of looking for reasons to celebrate other people and reasons to reach out, it changes you. You become more considerate and it increases your awareness of what is happening around you. 

Top Of Heart

There are many ways to use cards and gifts and if you create a good reach out system you don't just become top of mind, you become top of heart.  

Monday Morning Tip

Start your day looking for reasons to be kind and aim for reaching out to three people each day.

INS050 - Indispensable Marketing (Tactics & Strategies) with Patrick McFadden

Image
Patrick McFadden is the owner of Indispensable Marketing, and today we discuss the importance of effective marketing and how it can make your sales process easier, or harder depending on how effective it is, and why advertising and sales are sub-sets of marketing.  Advertising is often confused with marketing because it is the most visual part of marketing, but marketing is all about building trust, and your trust is always on trial, so good marketing can build trust, whereas poor marketing can erode it.  Awareness & Education How often do you hear someone say, "I didn't know they did that"? These comments show missed opportunities for the business owner, and it is a sure sign they need to focus more on awareness and education. Online Searching & Content  People search online because they know they have a problem. Therefore we need to educate them on how we can help them, and it needs to be linked back to your solution.

INS06 - 7 Steps To Self-Publishing with Michael Hanrahan

Michael Hanrahan owns a publishing company in Melbourne Australia, Michael Hanrahan Publishing, and is the author of Stand Out, 7 steps to self-publishing a book that will build your profile, promote your business and make you stand out from the crowd. Today we discussed: Why the lines between traditional publishing and self-publishing have become blurred. Self-published books use to have poorly designed covers, sub-standard layout and poor print quality. They looked cheap, but not anymore. Technology has changed the publishing world. Everything runs on a digital workflow and it’s now more viable to do short, high-quality print runs. Printing 200 copies is now quite common. It now only takes three months from a written word document to finished book. What is an ISBN and why is it important? ISBN stands for International Standard Book Number and you need to get this right. Every book and eBook has an individual ISBN number and some self-publishers make the mistake of tryi...
