Question: At what point in my planning should I call Seminars by FNBR?
Answer: As soon as possible. Seminars by FNBR’s Advisors can help you with filling out paperwork and have a reputation for asking important questions that impact the success of your event. There are many checkpoints along the way that our Seminar Advisors are trained to identify; helping you to achieve a successful seminar.
Question: How many invitations should I mail?
Answer: Based on our experience, several factors need to be considered when deciding how many invitations should be mailed. These factors include: room capacity, group dynamics, driving distance and commute time, and which invitation you prefer. A rule-of-thumb for an average room is 4,000 invitations per seminar date/time. Even with this average, you will want to test different invitations to find which invitation works the best in your area, and with your message.
Question: Can you help me with the content (text) of my invitation?
Answer: We have a "Seminar Content Worksheet" designed to help with the invitation content. Whether you need help with a bullet point, or the entire invitation, our worksheet can help. Please contact a Seminar Advisor for more information.
Question: Can you help me avoid Postal delays?
Answer: If your invitations are being mailed via Standard Mail (bulk mail), we do offer drop shipments - at no extra cost to you in most areas. Drop shipments take much of the delay out of the bulk mail postal process. Please call a Seminar Advisor to see if this service is available for your next seminar mailing. FNBR nor the US Postal Service guarantees mail delivery times.
Question: What forms of payment do you accept?
Answer: We accept American Express, MasterCard, Visa, Discover & Allianz Producer Perks. If paying by check, we recommend that it be sent overnight with an A.M. delivery if your seminar is a rush.

Question: How long will it take for the prospects to receive my invitation?
Answer: Please Note - These are generalized guidelines and will vary based on location within
the USA, time of year, etc. The USPS states that First Class Mail should take 1-3 days, and Presort
Standard Mail (bulk mail) should take 2-9 days. The “days” are those days in which the USPS is
delivering mail. We mail the small postcards as First Class Mail, and give them to the USPS at least
14-days prior to your earliest seminar date. We mail the other invitation styles as Presort Standard Mail, and give them to the USPS at least 21-days prior to your earliest seminar date. Please discuss any changes you require to these mail dates with your Seminar Advisor. Also ask about our Drop Shipment feature for Standard Mail only.
Question: What should I do if changes need to be made to my proofs?
Answer: Make any needed changes on your proofs and fax them back to 813.988.8422. If necessary, call your Seminar Advisor to discuss the changes as soon as possible. DO NOT SIGN
the proof if changes need to be made. Sign the proof only after all changes are made and you are
100% satisfied with the text.
