Then, for the finishing touch, I get clear vinyl sleeves from Sleevetown.com. The vinyl sleeves cost a little more than paper or Tyvek ones, but they're much more durable. They stay crisp and professional-looking even after several days in the shirt pocket, and of course they allow the label with my name, URL and phone number to show through.<BR/><BR/>The CDR media I use is the standard "mini CDR" which is a disk roughly 3 inches in diameter. It holds about 18 minutes of audio in standard CD format. Pretty much any CD player can read them that way.<BR/><BR/>-Michael Raugh, C.H.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5434949928694456370.post-39713360038736359282007-07-18T12:53:00.000-07:002007-07-18T12:53:00.000-07:00Ah, I remember you telling me about your CDs.

And you know if your clients are anything like mine, it may take them awhile to actually call. <BR/><BR/>This is a great idea.

I do hope the doctor accepts it in the spirit in which it is given. <BR/><BR/>When I started to practice I carried around a handful of business cards to give out to people I encounter who might want the help. Early this year, though, I stopped doing that because the response wasn't very good. I figured most people were just pocketing the card to be polite and then throwing it away later. <BR/><BR/>Now instead of the cards I keep a few copies of my stress relief recording, which you linked to a few weeks back, on mini CD in my shirt pocket and give those out instead. The label has the same information as a business card would, but the CD is actually useful in itself. I figure even if they never call me they can still get some benefit from the CD. <BR/><BR/>The price is right. By buying the supplies in moderate volume (100 CD blanks/envelopes/labels at a time) and doing the duplication at home I end up spending about 40 cents per CD -- enough that I think a moment before giving one out but not so much that I mind doing it if I sense it will help someone.<BR/><BR/>And yes, I've gotten a few calls from people after they've listened to the CD. Mostly thank-yous, though one or two have booked sessions.<BR/><BR/>-Michael Raugh, C.H.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
