I in no way would waste my time with a promotional pen. I was using the example of the high-volume pen distributors who market their product through the mailing of personalized samples. Many companies have been quite successful with this marketing tactic.</p> <p>I was recommending that she produce some good samples on substrates that will display her photo engraving capabilities. Mailing these out to prospects will open the door to further, more comfortable conversations with them.</p> <hr /><a name="a489_11"></a><p><b>From: Doug (JDOUG5170)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=489.11">#11</a>]<br /> 17 Nov 2004<br /><b>To: Engravin' Dave (DATAKES)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=489.10">#10</a>] 17 Nov 2004</p> <p>Glad to hear that I misunderstood what I thought I had read! </p> <p>Now back to work on that perfect giveaway product! :-)</p> <p>Doug</p> <hr /><a name="a489_12"></a><p><b>From: UncleSteve</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=489.12">#12</a>]<br /> 17 Nov 2004<br /><b>To: Doug (JDOUG5170)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=489.11">#11</a>] 17 Nov 2004</p> <p>Perfect self-promo?</p> <p>An engraved, round disk!

If you have the time and don't have to invest a great deal of money work on that product. You may be surprised.</p> <p>Dee</p><hr /><a name="a489_15"></a><p><b>From: Doug (JDOUG5170)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=489.15">#15</a>]<br /> 18 Nov 2004<br /><b>To: Dee (DEENA-ONLY)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=489.14">#14</a>] 23 Nov 2004</p> <p>Dee, I hear you.</p> <p>The sad thing is, I've had 100 sitting, waiting to get into the finish room!</p> <p><br /> Doug</p> <hr /><p align="center">Show messages: <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=489.1">All</a>  <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=489.1">1-9</a>  10-15</p> <h4><a href="lthread_list.php?webtag=EE">Back to thread list</a> | <a href="llogout.php?webtag=EE">Login</a></h4> <h6>© 2026 <a href="http://www.beehiveforum.net/" target="_blank">Project Beehive Forum</a></h6> </body>
