"...love to send to clients.."

Clients meaning those currently engaged or have completed a transaction with me.

Those currently engaged receive NO additional communication not directly related to the task at hand.

Past clients want to read about how smart they were in making the decision they did. So trends and events appeal to them.

The new agent, though, can not benefit from a database they do not have. So the new must create a message and appeal that has no relationship basis. For guidance they should look to the Darkside to discern what the intent of their services to the public is.

So, those in the 'real estate - haven't met' category, interpretation is important.

Those in the 'not real estate mindset' will engage in articles that address all or one of the five things every citizen confronts every year. Some find this to labor intensive. They may consider event based articles to engage the citizen.

I love to read and it is all over the place. So much to read, so little time:) I speed read a lot. I love the book, How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie and still read this book once a year. I also like Robert Chaldini's book: Persuasion and can't wait to get his new book: Presuasion. I read my bible almost every day, my goal is every day, but I don't alway stick with that goal. I read news on the internet from many different publications all over the world. 

Nestor sends out newspaper clippings to our clients, past clients, and prospects. They love those.

The MLS should provide the information that your clients are seeking. 

You need to know about the personal needs of your clients to know what to send to them.
