If you have some of your affiliates who live in the vicinity of your home, and they are known to you personally, the best way to communicate with them is through telephone. You can also hold one-to-one meetings or tete-a-tete with them very often. You may also do group meetings off and on over a cup of coffee and discuss about important aspects of business in the common arena. Hand outs if available will benefit. In this context, I remember having distributed 20 TripleClicks Wave3 member cards to my friends last week.Pictures, handouts and cards speak volumes of the business community where text and lip movements alone won’t suffice.
If the affiliates are hailing from far-flung regions inside or outside your country, the best way to communicate with them is through personalized Emails or better by holding video- chatting if that is possible. If video-chatting is not possible, a photo uploaded at both ends will be very effective with text chatting.
In addition to both the aforementioned modes of communication, you may make use of E cards of different types available at SFI or even videos.
To cap it all, I feel that personalized Email is the most effective mode of communication taking into account convenience, distance and financial implications.
A serious constraint in this regard is the linguistic and cultural barriers to communication. If you are a polyglot, it will invariably be handy.
