It's perhaps, one of the biggest marketing/sales dilemmas we face every day. And with the digital age, it's become an even bigger priority. Consumers now have more power than ever to shut out ads, block calls, report spam, etc. We've compiled these few ways to get in front of your audience without annoying them and, instead, showing them appreciation.
Birthday Messages
Who doesn't want to be wished a happy birthday? Using your clients birthday to your advantage can be a great way of nurturing your relationship. Try sending them a gift card, birthday card, small accessory, or even just a friendly call/email. This can help you build trust and let your customers know that you're not just about sales.
Worship Them for Your Accomplishments
It's a known fact that valuable customers love being a part of a brands journey. It established a sentimental connection between the two and creates loyal customers. Whenever your company hits a milestone, wins an award, or introduces a new product, make sure you send your customers a special thank you. Let them know that because of them, this was possible. Bonus points if you send personal thank you messages if you've accomplished something in your career.
Include Them in Your Community Work
