Would like to retain your clients happy? Just do this!
By parttimer | March 30th, 2010Speaking with different enterprise owners, and analyzing their advertising and marketing, I have noticed a growing number of them are complaining about the same issue…buyers not being responsive to marketing that they applied being.
Whether it’s direct-mail advertising, radio ads, flyers, etc., the forms of advertising that used to work in the past seem being slowly declining, as well as their associated profit value.
So what is causing this?
It truly is actually quite simple…your consumers do not desire to JUST be “sold to” all the time.
Now don’t get me wrong, they do expect you to MARKET to them, but if the only communication you tend to have with your consumers is to sell them a new product, or service, then eventually they begin filtering your messages out.
So how do you prevent this?
By treating your consumers like you would treat your own friends…have standard CONVERSATIONS with them.
Obviously this doesn’t mean pick-up the phone and call each one to ask how their day is heading, but it’s not too far off the mark.
When was the last time you sent your shoppers an email, or survey, to ask how their experiences with your company have been as of late?
When was the last time you took interest in what YOUR consumers wanted to see as far as products and services go, or what points do they think could be improved and updated.
How about merely sending regular newsletters, or updates, regarding changes in your industry, cool new goods coming out, or any other INTERESTING topics that you’d share with a friend or family member.
You see, most organization begin to lose buyers simply because they don’t take an interest inside lives and needs of their consumers, and only treat them like a number…a commodity.
Your clients are True men and women, with True wants, and True interests, and if you decide to not take an interest what They’re heading through…then they will lose interest in what You have to tell them.
Does that make sense?
Identify a way that you just can communicate on a frequent basis with your customers, and retain a communication channel heading between your business, and your customers, to make sure they are consistently happy and aware of what your company has to provide.
I call it: Relationship Selling.
