Working from home is once again a government requirement in the fight against Covid 19. Where there is an option, increasing numbers of people are choosing to embrace technology and meet over Zoom and Teams video connections, rather than face to face This is making it more difficult to maintain some physical contact with clients and leave a lasting reminder of who you are and what benefits you can offer.
Keeping in front of staff, clients and prospects
Embracing the traditional postal route is a great way of maintaining contact, creating goodwill and leaving your message and contact details in a physical, long lasting way. One of the major benefits of posting promotional gifts is that they can be on hand when a buying need arises. Send a thank you to staff working from home. Mail your message and contact details to customers. Post a promotion to prospects that makes the envelope interesting and desirable.
