Waking up a quiet customer list
- The situation
- A landscaping company in Boise, Idaho had 3,100 past customers on its list and had not emailed them in over a year. The owner had the knowledge and no time to write.
- What ran each month
- One 30-minute interview, each on a question customers ask before a big job. Each interview became a customer email, two articles, four posts and two short answers for the sales team to send with quotes.
- The result
- In the first three months, the customer emails brought 64 replies and 22 booked jobs, and the sales team sent a follow-up answer with 48 quotes.
Sample figures to show how the monthly report reads. Your numbers depend on your list, your market and how fast your team answers.
