This is some good Old School, I use it every day in my fund raising biz and have used it for more than 30 years. It’s used in the Auto Parts Biz too.

What I find most amusing is the number of companies today that don’t utilize email. The larger business chains are starting to do so heavily – several bookstore chains come to mind… but many businesses still haven’t quite figured out that their biggest asset is their current customer base, and the best way to keep their products in front of their customers is with an email newsletter mailing.

If you run a small business, and are not routinely and actively gathering your customer’s email addresses, you’re leaving money on the table.

But the mechanics of the idea are solid. That’s the real bread and butter.

That is actually a really good idea for a bar. Nice article.
