How many times have you
wanted to buy something you have seen, but you cannot find it
again? This happens to people all of the time, and some of them are
YOUR customers! If you are talking to a customer, and they walk away with
nothing to remember or re-contact you with, you are losing sales!  Fortunately, it is very
easy to create brochures and flyers. Microsoft has hundreds
of templates for flyers and brochures, which is a great start, but you
can see all of their templates for marketing
materials as well. Graphics and pictures are
truly worth a thousand words, and many of you will already have pictures
of your products, but if you do not, don't despair. Unless you are
selling a one-of-a-kind item, or handmade goods, the chances are good that
your supplier has pictures on their web page. Another fantastic source
is Google.com.
You can click on "Images", and use keywords to search from 880
million images on the internet. Don't violate anyone's copyrights,
but 'generic' images of just about anything are available if you look long
enough. Internet based companies
can do much of the same thing: Instead of a flyer or handout,
consider a newsletter. This one is a great example. Each week, we
write about something of interest to our merchants: Fraud
prevention, new software, utilities, chargeback avoidance and protection
to name a few. Along with this useful information, we include and
offer for one of our products or services that falls in line with that
issue. The additional sales have more than made this newsletter worthwhile.

Use your receipts as a
sales tool as well: Our customizable footer in Pocket Verifier can add
contact and sales information to your receipts:
Pocket Verifier Professional for Palm OS or Pocket PC can do this easily, to see how, take a peek at newsletter issues 31 and 32!

You
can generate cash receipts with the same marketing information! Cash
receipts are the most often requested addition
to our family of PDA software. Almost all of our merchants accept cash,
and they have a printer and PDA, but no way to generate a receipt! Now
with Pocket Change you can enter your sales amount, have the tax calculated,
enter the amount tendered, have the change calculated, and print the receipt!
