Including promotional materials when you package and send your product is a great way to connect with your buyers. Not only does it increase your brand’s exposure. It can also prompt your buyers to take some kind of action that will be beneficial to your brand.

Get the sales first. Blast your product out to eager buyers, feed the algorithm, and get the ranking that will put your product in front of the customers you’re looking for.  Be sure you have plenty of product inserts ready to go. You’ll need them after a Blast.

What’s an Insert?

An insert can be basically anything with your brand’s information on it. Flyers or cards are pretty standard inserts, and they’re still great standbys if you have an eye catching design, but don’t be afraid the think outside the box. Magnets, keychains, pens, microfiber cleaning cloths, stress balls, phone holders, cord organizers, etc. The list goes on and on. The more useful and unique an insert is, the better.

Another way to engage with customers is to create an irresistible followup email sequence using SixLeaf’s Review Rush service. Choose an email to thank your customers, another to send along helpful information, and a third email to request a review. These polite reminders keep you top-of-mind with your customers and over time can create a loyal following.

Include a Call to Action

Use this window of good will to make a request of your buyer. You can ask them to take any number of actions, such as:

  • Join a mailing list
  • Follow you on Facebook
  • Submit a review
  • Purchase another product with a coupon

Be Unique, Be Enticing, Be Simple

No matter what kind of insert you include, make sure it’s eye catching and offers something of value. If you’re asking for buyers to act, make your request as simple as possible.

In order for your buyer to do something for you, it must be very easy, pretty much effortless, for them to do so.

So don’t make them get up and go to their computer to look up a website and fill out a form. Use social media, QR codes, or other smart phone friendly methods to get a quick response.
