By sending several promotional pieces to current and potential clients on a strategically timed basis, you keep your name in front of them and build share of mind. -Marie Swift

Ever notice how a dripping faucet gets your attention slowly over time? You may walk past it for days without noticing it--let alone taking action. Finally, you stop and pay attention to the soft repetitive noise, and respond. Drip marketing works much the same way. By sending several promotional pieces to current and potential clients on a strategically timed basis, you keep your name in front of them and build share of mind.

Your drip-marketing plan should be tied to seasonal events such as springtime gardening, summer vacations, back-to-school shopping, Thanksgiving, Christmas and Hanukkah. Norman Boone, a San Francisco CFP and his managers have been known to deliver cookies with a personalized note to VIPs on Valentine's day.
