		<description>Some dandy ideas. I use Send Out Cards to mail my birthday cards, thank yous, and referral credits. Soon I will be purchasing a list from www.infousa.com.

You know, I really hate making newsletters, but every where I turn, I hear, &quot;GET A NEWSLETTER!!!&quot; I have put out newsletters before, but I would rather make it a oversized postcard (news postcard???). I want to follow Michael Humphrey&#039;s advise and put out something to my clients every 6 weeks. I don&#039;t think a newsletter is a necessity, it could be anything that the clients get in the mail.</description>

		<description>Great article! Thank you for sending out this useful info to your spa-base! In our experience (at our petite alternative green spa), our best stride in facing the saddened feelings of our economically challenged clients is simply to stay positive. The media has been creating too much emotional hype about a situation Americans can surely face &amp; survive through. I like to remind people how lucky we all are to be Americans, with the rights &amp; opportunities we have (which I know first-hand from many of my overseas travels). Most importantly, I encourage people to keep their lives on the move, working, purchasing, doing. The way to stimulate the economy is is much the same as skin care itself: Massage, movement, and attentive care! :)</description>
