Do you make sales visits for your business? If you do, you likely leave something behind with a potential client or an existing one. Leave-behinds keep you top of mind and provide easy access to your contact information but only if it’s something they’ll keep.

Used with other marketing tools, like e-newsletters and/or direct mail, they keep your spot warm. Here’s a monster list of suggestions to help you stay on the minds of clients and potential clients.
