reminder cards: Business Tip!

Instead of putting a card inside the piano. I use clear plastic shipping
label holders. They are about 4" x 4" and have a pull off brown paper to
expose a gummed surface. I ask the customer if it's OK to put her
receipt in it, under the lid of the piano bench. I tell her I'm also
putting an extra card in there so they can give it to a friend if they
would like. 
All my customers have liked the idea.
