Keeping in touch with old clients Doing It For The Kids

“I’ve worked on two excellent projects for a really high profile client in the past year.

When the projects finally went live I dropped them an email to say how great they were and how happy I was to have been a part of them.

I got a lovely reply that ended with — ‘please do keep in touch for any future projects that might be up your street.’

But I don’t quite know what to do with that!

How can I turn that vague and polite sign-off into something I can be proactive about? Do I send occasional emails to say “Hi” in the hope that they might have something in the works? Or will that make me seem a bit desperate?

How do I maintain a relationship with a client who might have work in the future without being a bit weird?”
