I agree. I do a big mailer (2500 or so) every couple of years to old clients. I spread this out over the year with 2 or 300 per month. I get several back which allows me to update my records, and I keep getting calls from clients 20 or more years back. Sometimes it's their kids or they just refer me when the subject of piano work comes up. I think the cards are a great way to advertise.
