exponentially expanding your new clients

[Jessie]

Hi all,

Back in April of this year, I had http://www.vistaprint.com print me a couple of boxes of coupons. I used their business cards and redesigned it as a coupon.

THe coupons states:

New Client Special

New clients receive a 60 minute massage for $30 or 90 minutes for $45.

I started passing them out in May. I gave each client 3 of them. Now, I didnt give every single client a coupon in May. I gave out about 30 or so that first week and continued to do so for most of May.

Then, when people started coming in with these coupons, I would send them out with 3 more.

I would put an expiration date of about 6 weeks on them. I would leave a blank of the cards to write it in with a marker.

It is now early July and guess what? I am already 4 tiers into clients. In the last couple of weeks, I have averaged about 4 appointments per week from my coupon campaign. I expect this number to keep growing. My new clients should keep expanding exponentially if this keeps up.

I really wish I would have put this idea into plan from the very start. I guess tho, all the print advertising did get me a larger variety of clients. But seriously, with the responce I am getting from my coupon idea, I may quit print advertising all together. This week alone I have had more clients call with the passed out coupon than with with the print advertising.


Think of it with only one client. I give one client 3 coupons. He gives it to 3 people. Those three come in and I give them each 3 coupons. Those 9 come in and I give them 3 coupons. Those 27 come in and I give them 3 coupons. Those 81 come in..... get the picture??

Even if only half of them come in.... or even at 1/3....But, I have been averaging better than 1/3.

Remember, the more you initially pass out, the faster those perceneforum.xxxes will build up!!

Excellent tactics! And if you take advaneforum.xxxe of VistaPrint's freebie specials, you can really get those coupons for a song! I just got 100 premium postcards free. I designed the front & left the back blank so I can print out whatever I please on my computer. (They were originally designed for "aftercare" instructions for my permanent cosmetics & eyelash extensions, but they can be made into anything!)

What a great idea, GreatLakes.
I hope all the newbies & growing practitioners take your idea to task!

Remember...never order on the first go...click out of your screen and they will come back(I'm thinkng always at this point) with an offer for % off or some other special.

Greatlakes it's a really great way to keep yourself busy!

Last Saturday I gave a client three of my business cards which I wrote on the back "A gift from ___" the back of my cards have printed "Your next appointment is" and in that slot I wrote $10 off and put an expiration of 6 weeks or so. And later that night I got a call from her son who booked for next Wednesday.

So I am going to look into Vista Print for getting some cards that I can use specifically for that purpose.

I guess though I should specify that it is for new clients.

It is definitely something I should have planned for with the slowness of summer.
