Also, as an incentive to sign up for the mailing list, you could also
suggest doing a cross-promotional thing...
say, if they sign up to be on the mailing list, they can get a 10, 15, 20%
discount or so, whatever is economically viable for your client.

Something to entice them to come back anyway.
