I have been mailing newsletters to my customers every two months for 4 years. Before that it was quarterly. I always thought it weird I didn't see much of a response just after the mailing went out. The last for months we have started asking very detailed questions of our customers when they call. We ask "are you calling because of the news letter you recieved" or "Did you get our 20% off coupon in the mail?" They always say no it's just time to be cleaned and I looked you up or found a card in my desk or on the fridge. We ask if the get our mailings and less than 10% remember ever seeing anything from us. Our customers get 6 newsletters, a 6 month post card and a yearly reminder yet they don't recall seeing anything. A lady called today to book and I asked if we did work for her before and she said I'm not sure. I looked in the computer and we have cleaned for her 4 times in the last 5 years. She looked in the phone book and "thought" our name sounded familar and called. I spend $900-$1000 a month mailing to past customers and I feel like I'm throwing my money away. Is it really worth it? Why can't people remember seeing my mailing?
