Thank you’s, go a long way in building a business

I can share with you as your building your business is thank you’s, go a long way in building a business. Before I opened F.R.O.G.S. I put together a list of items I would need. In this  list I included thank you cards as I knew I  wanted to make sure I went above and beyond what my clients would expect. Which would mean emailing them a thank you after meeting with me.

Only for me it would go beyond just the clients I work with but also the vendors as I wanted to make sure they knew we appreciated them. Now, I had done events in the past so I knew vendors didn’t receive thank you cards so this would put me one step ahead of other event planners. As well as make F.R.O.G.S. stand out.

So I begin to think about the thank you cards I wanted as  I knew I would need to have them created.  Because I wanted the thank you cards to be different than what I would find in a store. As it would allow me to  incorporate my clients logos or types of businesses I am visiting in the design of the card.

As I thought about the thank you cards  I wondered how I would accomplish it but I should have known God was listening and knew my needs before I did. As he brought Nancy Moore Smith into my life.

Nancy Moore Smith owns Heart to Heart Soul Creations. So I scheduled a one on one with Nancy. At the meeting I let Nancy know what I envisioned so Nancy went home and created thank you cards for me to see.

Once she brought the cards to me I could tell Nancy knew exactly what I envisioned without me having to tell her. As she had made the perfect thank you cards for me. Then turned around and made some for Charlie as well. Once Nancy finished the thank you cards I asked her if she had added her business to them as I wanted to make sure she was seen as well.

At first Nancy was like no, I didn’t as these are for you to hand out. But as I explained to her if people liked the cards and wanted to order some of there own they would need to know how to contact her.

So after much discussion Nancy took the cards back home and added her business information to the back of the cards.  Which now when she makes anything for me she does as she knows if she doesn’t that I will not use the items she makes.

So when your building a business think outside the box and go above and beyond what your clients want and they will help you build your business as they will refer you to others.

So as you reach out for the services you need always make sure the businesses your working with can be seen as well. As they will appreciate this and it shows you care about them.

On this envelope you can’t see it but it has Nancy’s information on the corner of the envelope.

Thank you,

Glenda, Charlie and David Cates
