FenceWeek - Twitter and Email Marketing

Two things with this blog.  First of all we have entered the world of Tweeting.  To be honest I never really understood what Twitter was all about.  Nevertheless, we have a new Twitter page where we will do our best to publish industry press releases as they occur.  So take a look and follow us if you're so inclined.  Also, be sure to send us your news.  Here's the page   
.  Follow fenceweek on Twitter


The second thing has to do with keeping in touch with your customers.  There was an article in Professional Door Dealer about Raynor; they are a Garage Door Manufacturer.   The article mentions how Raynor has launched their Raynor Insider.  It got me thinking -- There is a lot of work in getting new customers and, once you have them, it also takes a lot to keep in touch with them. E-Newsletters are a quick and inexpensive way to do just that.  Take, for example, referrals, add on sales, repair work, and promotions.   An email newsletter is a great tool to help keep track of the things that interest your customers AND stay in touch with them all at the same time.  At FenceWeek we’ve been using  a company called Icontact to help us keep in touch with our customers. We think it’s one of the best e-newsletter companies out there.  

Here's a link if you want to take a look:   www.IContact.com.  They're very user friendly and best of all let try it for free.
