Marketing advice
///////////////////////////////
The same people claiming direct mail doesn’t net enough return also claim print is dead. Don’t discount direct mailing for promotion. Some content ideas include:
- Provide coupons and special offers – from cents off to %, BOGO, or limited time only special service or products
- Promote free consultations and quotations – many business charge for these services

Genealogy ideas
///////////////////////////////
Never discard an unchecked document resource. Example: A person may own a fraction or “interest” to land through an estate – without owning land outright in their own name. This can still be used as collateral for mortgage (document), even if their name was never on the land document.
