I wrote this over at Shak & Jill and I really do want an answer. What do you think?
It’s that time of year again … time for Realtors from across the country to pick out what they’re going to mail their clients for Christmas!
Do I choose the old refrigerator calendar so I can slap my business card on top, thereby allowing the people on my mailing list to look at my goofy picture all year? The cost is .41 cents each, plus .42 to mail.
Or should I splurge and invest in a CD that has Christmas songs? That cost is $1.75 each and will also cost .42 to mail. Expensive, but much more memorable.
A friend of mine heard me pondering this the other day and yelled across the room, “The Christmas CD! I hate those calendars!” It may be time for me to splurge.
Have you ever received a gift from a business around the holidays that was truly memorable and appreciated? What would you like?

What I would like to have for the holidays is you to sell homes and for your family to have health and wealth all yr long!

Dear Kathy,
Sad to say for you–the calender with your picture is the best marketing but the cd is a better present. Send the calender.
