Do you have a website that offers a drip e-mail campaign? Drip e-mails are good for providing newsletters, information and other tips to those who register on your website. If you have this option, you may consider placing short excerpts of relevant blog posts in drip e-mails with a caption of "read more" at the end; then, place links to the full stories of those blog posts.

Afterward, your inspection company will provide a report of its findings... Read more about a new home walkthrough.
Not only would this technique benefit our website visitors, but it can increase readership of our blog posts, too. So, what are you waiting for? Turn your Rain into drips...

Steve...Good Idea, we are using a simple contact management program that I always thought taste too much like vanilla... you have to change flavors now and then or it gets boring. Thanks for the tip.
