1 Cent Stamp Prospecting Idea

[Mark]

What do you think about this idea? One of my agents shared the idea with me and I want to see what you think about it.

He is mailing all of his existing clients a couple of 1 cent stamps. Stamps are going up soon and he is just looking out for his clients. Just thought you could use these 1 cent stamps since the price of stamps are going up and he puts in a lot of other stuff in with it.

I'm not sure what the other stuff is yet. But the concept is to send your existing clients some 1 cent stamps to remind them you are still here to help them and offer your services to them.

I might put something in it about call me if you need to adjust your existing policy or know of anyone that needs my services.

What do you think of his idea ?

I would add a letter stating...I'm offering you my last penny in return for an increase in your monthly premiums. I want my kid's Easter egg hunt to be a success!


Happy Easter

$100 gift certificates are much more impressive . . .

Who in the hell uses stamps anymore? Unless you're dealing with seniors...

 

[Mr. Bill]

Yes, do it.

I like the idea. It could get expensive, but it's something different.

People who use stamps usually have the forever stamps now, so the concept is perhaps a bit dated, but I think the idea is useful.

If you are already doing a mailing, this could be something to try and see if it works. The incremental cost is minimal. If you aren't doing mailings, this may not be that productive.

. . . from Wikipedia . . .

PEZ is the brand name of an Austrian candy and the pocket mechanical dispensers for such candy. The candy takes the shape of pressed, dry, straight-edged blocks (15mm (5/8 inch) long, 8mm wide and 5mm high), with PEZ dispensers holding 12 pieces of PEZ candy.

The name PEZ was derived from the letters from the first, the middle and the end of the German word for peppermint, Pfefferminz, the first PEZ flavor. PEZ was originally introduced in Austria, later exported, notably to the U.S., and eventually became available worldwide. The all-uppercase spelling of PEZ echoes the trademark's style of type on packaging and the dispensers themselves, drawn in perspective and looking as if the letters were built out of 44 brick-like PEZ candies (14 bricks in the P and 15 in each of the E and Z).
Despite the widespread recognition of the PEZ dispenser, the company considers itself to be primarily a candy company, producing over 3 billion candy bricks each year in the U.S. alone. PEZ Dispensers are part of popular culture in many nations. Because of the large number of dispenser designs over the years, PEZ dispensers are collected by enthusiasts.

"People who use stamps?!!! People who use stamps?!!!"

Are we now defined as those of us dim-witted numbskulls who use stamps and you young e-mailing whipper-snappers who now rule the world?

I'll have you know I'm still getting used to the stamps that don't need licked! I think I'm all kind of high-tech when I use stamps that don't have to be torn apart on the dotted lines.

I am a huge stamp user. There I said it.
