Is this cheesy?

[K K]

I have just been inspired (after my nice afternoon nap! :grin: ) to write up a brief "newsletter" to send to our clients. I don't plan on sending out frequent newsletters (aka "bother our clients too often"), but I thought that contacting those who have come to see us during our first month in business might be a nice gesture. I'd love feedback, if you will. Please, be gentle to this pregnant momma, whose brains are often in a fog these days.

Dear clients,

Tony and Renee would like to let you know that first month in business has been a success!

opened its doors on April 1st, 2009 (no fooling). We feel that we have done very well, for a “new baby businessâ€‌. We have met and gotten to know many new clients over the past month, and we are very excited about that. We have also seen several of Tony’s “regularsâ€‌ follow him to our new location, which is also extremely encouraging. It makes us feel like we don’t have to do this all “from scratchâ€‌.

Our first month has been a roller coaster ride, to say the least. On top of the last few months' roller coaster of building, painting, permits, licenses, extra classes, and other “funâ€‌ stuff involved with opening a new business, we also found out mid-month that we are expecting a new baby in December! Renee has just been certified in pregnancy massage, and as she plans on specializing in this area, it is going to be a *very* interesting first year in business: a pregnant mommy working on pregnant mommies. Talk about relating to your clients! ïپٹ

Because of her own pregnancy, Renee will be limiting her schedule to only prenatal sessions for the foreseeable future. We thank you for understanding, and we invite you to schedule an appointment with Tony or

Well contacting your clients regularly is a great idea. I have done 2 newsletters per year (we did fall and spring), plus X-mas card (I mean holiday card), and birthday card. Not enough to annoy anyone, but keeps you in their minds.

Thanks, naturalhealing and ToG. I'm not ignoring y'all's comments (yes, I REALLY AM from the SOUTH and I DO SAY Y'ALL'S!!!); I'm masticating on them for a bit. I told DH about the letter IDEA, but he hasn't seen what I've written yet. I've been too tired and mush-brained to mess with many words this weekend. Oh, and naturalhealing, I got that last sentence from MassagePlanetL! Read the eforum.xxxline at the top. I changed it from "two weeks" to "a month", because these are, after all, *clients*, and many do regular *monthly* sessions, and I didn't want to make them feel like we don't appreciate them.

I don't think clients want to know about permits ect..Because of her own pregnancy, Renee will be limiting her schedule to only prenatal sessions for the foreseeable future. We thank you for understanding, and we invite you to schedule an appointment with Tony or (our tenant, who is very good at relaxation massage and certain spa techniques, which Tony and Renee don’t offer at this time) instead (unless you are pregnant, of course.). We can give you ’s contact information when you call the office.We would like to remind you about our referral program: for every five new clients (who actually purchase at least one 60-minute or longer session; chair massages don’t apply) you refer to us, you will earn one FREE 60-minute session. We all know people who are either in pain or who are expecting; if you have been pleased with our services, please send them our way, so we can help them too.

Email is naturally cheaper, but some of our clients don't use email, and I've found that many folks actually prefer to receive "real mail" over electronic mail. Suggestions on delivery options is appreciated, as well. For snail mail, I could go with either a printed-up letter on our business letterhead (which I've been stocking up on each time VistaPrint offers letterhead for free , or have VP make us up some nice postcards. We have probably around 50 people we'll be sending this to, so it's not like sending snail mail would break the bank.

Great idea, Renee! I hope you don't mind that I reworded it a bit, (can you tell both my parents were teachers?) but I really loved your 'play' on words and think your thank you letter is a fantastic idea. And congrats to you again on such a grand Grand Opening Month!

Dear clients,

Tony and Renee would like to let you know that first month in business has been a success!

opened its doors on April 1st, 2009 (no fooling). We have met and gotten to know many new clients over the past month, and we are very excited about that. We have also seen several of Tony’s “regularsâ€‌ follow him to our new location, which is also extremely encouraging.

We've done well this first month for a 'new baby business', and it is just beginning. On top of the last few months' roller coaster of building, painting, permits, licenses, extra classes, and other “funâ€‌ stuff involved with opening a new business, we also found out that we are expecting a new baby in December! Renee has just been certified in pregnancy massage, and as she plans on specializing in this area, it is going to be a *very* interesting first year in business: a pregnant mommy working on pregnant mommies. Talk about relating to your clients! ïپٹ

Because of her own pregnancy, Renee will be limiting her schedule to only prenatal sessions for the foreseeable future. We thank you for understanding, and we invite you to schedule an appointment with Tony for deep tissue/relaxation?, our tenant ____ for relaxation massage and certain spa techniques, and Renee for prenatal massage. Call the office to book the appointment of your choice.

And don't forget!!! Every five new clients referred by you, who purchase a 60-minute or longer session (chair massages don’t apply) will earn you a FREE 60-minute session. We all know people who are either in pain or who are expecting; if you have been pleased with our services, please send them our way so we can help them too. Our referral program applies to clients only (has her own system).

We do also have gift certificates available for any amount/type of session from 30 minutes on up.

Thank you for your help in making our first month a success! We look forward to seeing you again soon. And remember: if it’s been more than a month since your last massage, it’s been too long! ïپٹ[/quote]

Tony and Renee would like to let you know that first month in business has been a success!(I would make it more client centered) "We want to thank you for making our first month a great success! Our next month is shaping up to be busy as well thanks to our regular clients, new clients, and your thoughtful referrals."

I'll look at more later my baby is playing outside, so I guess I should go enjoy Mother's day. :mrgreen:

I told DH about the letter IDEA, but he hasn't seen what I've written yet. I've been too tired and mush-brained to mess with many words this weekend.

Oh, and naturalhealing, I got that last sentence from MassagePlanetL! Read the eforum.xxxline at the top. I changed it from "two weeks" to "a month", because these are, after all, *clients*, and many do regular *monthly* sessions, and I didn't want to make them feel like we don't appreciate them. :

Is this cheesy?

Well contacting your clients regularly is a great idea. I have done 2 newsletters per year (we did fall and spring), plus X-mas card (I mean holiday card), and birthday card. Not enough to annoy anyone, but keeps you in their minds.

Yeah. I'm thinking that, right now, with everything going on (I've been going through some HORRIBLE emotional swings lately- UGH!), it might be better to make it a "first quarter report" rather than a "first month". I'm just not feeling that "perky" right now, and it would show in my writing, lol!
