WHY order The Tea House Times or a custom newsletter?  Because you need to educate your customers & share your passion for afternoon tea.  And if you order a personalized insert page or completely customized newsletter, you can keep your customers informed about your operating hours and special events and sales.  Why not create a VIP program for your customers by offering The Tea House Times with purchases or after a certain # of visits to your tea room.  Want us to create VIP cards for you?  See more details here for creating a VIP Program.

Are you spending your advertising dollars wisely?

It is VERY important to create a mailing list of your customers.  Collect their names by offering a contest or drawing.  Send a regular newsletter to your customers quarterly at a minimum--bi-monthly is best.  Your advertising money is best spent DIRECT to customers you know are interested in your business.  Regular display ads are good for community recognition of your business, but DIRECT mailings or giveaways to regular customers is paramount.  Sell or give away the full version of The Tea House Times, order an optional personalized page about your business, OR order a CUSTOM newsletter to send to your ever growing list of customers.  We will work with you and your budget to create just the right newsletter for your business.

How much time do YOU have to create a newsletter?

You might have time to create a basic newsletter with information about your business, but do you really have time to research and write interesting articles for your customers to read and "stay in touch" with the feeling & enjoyment of their afternoon tea experience? Even if you had the time, how many articles could you possibly include?  Time to ask us for help!  Let us create something truly unique, professional, and memorable for your customers. You get to pick & choose articles from our index for your customized newsletter.

What should I do?  Most tea rooms order 25-100 or more of the full version of The Tea House Times and selectively distribute to their regular and new customers.  Make personal contact with your customers.  Offer it to them for free; they love the special, personal attention!  The most popular choice is an order of 25 of The Tea House Times each issue.  Most tea rooms are GIVING The Tea House Times to their regulars and new visitors with a very positive response!  Why not create a VIP program?  If you are unsure of how many to order, start with 10 or 25.  You can always order more.  If you plan to sell The Tea House Times, order 10.  If you plan to give it to your VIP customers, order 25 to 100 or more.
