Who remembers the Schoolhouse Rock song, “I’m Just a Bill?”
“I’m just a bill.
Yes, I’m only a bill.
And I’m sitting here on Capitol Hill.”
Ok, that’s not exactly the type of bill I’m talking about in this week’s Marketing Minute edition. And I’m here to make the case that a bill (or invoice) doesn’t have to be “just a bill.”
A billing statement is a direct communication with your client or customer and can be a very effective marketing and promotional tool for your business.
