Breaking Out of The Smoke



Based in California, we are enduring another week of smoky skies, if you are inside, you'd think its a late October foggy day, not end-of-summer 95+ humid cooker.

Driving around one needs daytime running lights in some areas, and you find you are looking for company lights to know whose open and to identify where you are, esp. later in the day and early evening.

The question we face, "does your clients know you are still in business, still ready to step-up and serve them?"
The easy way to try and gain attention is an email blast, but how many have you gotten today alone? I've already deleted over 50 and its not even 10:00 am, with an expected 250 more to come in (this is after all the rules and blocks on my account)- not very effective, though inexpensive.

In the past we'd go see our clients, and we pray that day will be coming again soon, but a limited option- 
Do we try to run a non-stop series of web conference calls? Doable but still we may face limited access by clients and have time windows each day... what's left?

Old fashion mail- cards, letters, gift sets- whatever you can dream to send. We have been sending food gift packs to homes, cards and more. For the recipients it feels like Christmas, a touch of humanity that is more personal and leaves a longer impression. From custom boxes, envelopes to personalized cards, letters, labels and even merchandise- you can drip care on your staff, clients and suppliers while staying top-of-mind.

Want to experience it? Shoot me an email (bob@nds-solutions.com) to enter a weekly drawing to receive a food gift from NDS (put #Gift in subject line, and send us your Company name, contact info and address), a $30.00 value*.

So let's work together, let our clients know "WE ARE OPEN" and ready to be a help!

Stay well, safe and smoke free :)

What the heck is going on with Tariffs? What steps is your company taking to avoid higher costs on swag, apparel, and event materials? New tariff increases on Chinese imports, along with upcoming tariffs on goods from Canada and Mexico, are set to drive up costs across our industry and many others.
