Dear RSFBPW Members and Guests,
Thanksgiving is always an easy time to remember to be grateful. And it's a great opportunity to reach out to past clients and prospective clients to say how grateful we are for them. A handwritten note of appreciation is always in style and always a welcome sight. AND, it's also fun to get creative with how you show your thankfulness and gratitude!
Here are just a few ideas:
1. Give them a public shout out on their social media platform - facebook, linkedin, twitter, etc.
2. Actually pick up the phone and call them and let them know the ONLY reason you called was to say how much appreciate their kindness, smile, etc..
3. Give them a freebie or a surprise discount on one of your services/product just because they've been a loyal customer.
4. If they're local, send some laughter their way with 2 or more free tickets to Old Town Improv - they're only $12 on Groupon!
5. Do a random drop-by to their place of business and give them some healthy goodies or some pretty flowers.
The world can always use more gratitude and appreciation. Think outside of the box and WOW your clients during this thankful month. And then.... wash, rinse, and repeat throughout the entire year. That's what REALLY makes us stand out from our competition.
I'm grateful for each of you ladies! Your joy, smiles, and participation make this group one of the best highlights of my month.
Happy Thanksgiving to you,
Gina Ruby, RSFBPW President

You can place your items for sale on 1/2 of a table located in the back of the room before, and after our monthly meetings, from January through October. You should arrive around 10:30 a.m. to secure your spot. You can share a 20 second commercial during our meetings. You can apply to speak at our member's showcase, some restrictions apply. You can post announcements for your products, services or events on our Facebook Business Page and participate in our LinkedIn Group page.
Monthly speakers are the only ones allowed to place their information on the luncheon tables during our meetings.

Shout-Outs and Testimonials
|
We may
run out of time at our meetings to share our testimonials for each other's services, products, and community announcements. We encourage you to write your praise and mail an email or note to the member who you want to applaud. Send your friends a special email sharing your testimonial about the member you are highlighting. Post your Shout-Out on our RSFBPW Facebook page and on your own FB page.
We offer Shout-outs and testimonial time at the end of many of our meetings, however it depends on the time left after our speaker has concluded their presentation. We do not offer testimonial time at our November and December meetings because of the length of the program. We encourage you to pass out your information, flyers, handouts and community announcements during the open networking time which is between 11:15 a.m. and 11:45 a.m.
You may also want to use your 20 second commercial time during the meeting to share your business event or announcement with the group and invite interested members to pick up a flyer with more details in the back of the room. Thanks for cheefully working with us!

A Gentle Reminder about Spamming RSFBPW members
|
Members and visitors must individually ask each member for permission to place them on any form of mass communication-email blasts, newsletter lists, U.S. Mail lists or group texts. Without each member's individual permission, we consider this type of communication to be an act of spamming. To build long-term relationships with members please write personal notes and emails first and after developing rapport, ask these members only for permission to place them on your mailing list. Thank you for your cooperation. |
Have a clear and concise message. Screen real estate is valuable on mobile, so keep the content here simple and focus on the essentials. Think about the goal of your email. Do you want people to shop online, come into the store, share a sale with friends via Facebook - or maybe you just want them to read an article on your website? Whatever your goal, it's important to make sure you have one before hitting send.
