Comment on What Can You Offer Your Past Customers? by Marte Cliff

Yes, add-ons for real estate are a light tougher.

But partnering with others who offer homeowner services would be a good way to do it. In addition to plumbing and painting, how about house cleaning, decorating, pool cleaning, lawn care, house-sitting or pet-sitting, or any of the other things people need once they own a home.

Just be careful – only partner with people you trust to do a good job and protect your reputation. Remember that in real estate your past clients are a gold mine for referrals – and for repeat business when the day comes that they want to move.

I wrote an article about that in EzineArticles.com – read it for ideas!

Thanks for following me on Twitter!

The basic idea of thinking about what I could do for a past customer is intriguing,as my business of realestate is one big purchase. But your blog started my thoughts along a line of services ,that I might be able to offer at a discount ie plumbing or painting.

I enjoyed this post. I thought your readers might also appreciate this white paper which describes a customer follow-up strategy which, if done correctly, can generate customer referrals. Below is a direct link to the white paper which bypasses the name and email collection web pages. This link should work until IT decides to change it.

I hope everyone finds it useful.

Hi Marte, Thanks for the post! Just wanted to add that anybody who reads this should definitely sign up for Bob Bly’s e-letter… he’s a master… but since he’s getting this particular tidbit from my own e-letter, the Copywriter’s Roundtable, I’d like to encourage your visitors to sign up for the CR as well (there’s no link to it in your post above). In case they’re so inclined, they can find the signup page + free thank-you reports at http://copywritersroundtable.com.

Thanks again Marte, and best wishes for 2010!

Comment on A Christmas Story by Teresa

A very inexpensive gift for someone that is extremely meaningful, is to look up the meaning of their name, then on some pretty background paper, print out their name and the meaning of it below and then put it in a frame.

Or write a heartfelt message, poem about them and print it out on pretty background paper and frame it.

God bless and Merry Christmas,
Teresa Heath

Hi , it’s Thanksgiving Day! I’m enjoying my extra day off, and I am planning to doing something fun that’ll probably involve a bike ride and seeing something new in Thonotosassa I haven’t seen yet.
You write new post at Thanksgiving?
