Could your follow up use a pick-me-up? Then you need this Peachy Follow Up Daily Dose in your life!
Follow up can be tricky for many reasons. One being that it’s hard to stand out from ALL of the other follow ups that your prospects might already be receiving. The trick is to be intentional and memorable. Here’s one way to make a follow up a little different.
First, download your FREE flyer design.
Then, grab these peach envelopes and these peach tea bags.
Once you have all these, you’re ready to put the tea bag in the envelope with either the full page flyer - along with your business card.
Alternative Option: Instead of mailing out individual follow-ups, you could also have a basket full of individually wrapped tea bags (use these treat bags) with your 1/4 page flyer where your prospects could just grab a couple after their tour. Whatever works best for you!
