\nIt could be very different than your point of view.<\/p>\n
2) Are you just another business that sells products and services\u2026 Or are you a trusted source for advice and help when they need you?<\/strong> 3) Who is your customer and how can you develop a better relationship with each and every one of them?<\/strong> Building that relationship with a customer starts with Image. How does the public perceive you? If you require them to come into your place of business to find that out, you will be very quickly passed by. You need to start by reaching out to your customers where they are. There are multiple ways that companies have done this over the years. Some with more success than others\u2026<\/p>\n No matter how you do it, remember \u2013 it\u2019s all about the marketing message.<\/p>\n For example. There is Business #1 \u2013 To reach their customers they scream at the top of their lungs and intrude on their potential customers while they are listening to the radio commercials. Does it get them noticed. Yes\u2026 But does it develop a relationship? No. In turn they have to spend gobs of money month after month to stay top of mind with people.<\/p>\n Then there is Business #2 \u2013 To reach their customers they also used radio, however they took a different approach. They branded themselves as a local, hometown, trusted business that is there when people need them. They showcase ways they have gone out of their way to help the community, and why they too love their city and the people who live there.<\/p>\n They also have real customers on the radio commercials talking about why they chose this business over the other. In turn they are able to spend less on marketing because they have repeat business, because a relationship is developed with everyone who hears their radio commercials. They run enough radio commercials each month to stay top of mind with new customers, but they don\u2019t need to constantly pound their name over and over by screaming at people.<\/p>\n Who had more credit with their customers the \u201cScreaming loud\u201d business or the \u201cLocal, Trustworthy, and lots of people talking about why they like business #2 over #1.\u201d business?<\/strong><\/p>\n Children beat on pots and pans to get attention and have an attitude of \u201ceveryone will pay attention to me \u2013 just because”.\u00a0 Adults who own thriving businesses have an attitude of how can we show our customers we care through positive marketing using radio commercials and developing true relationships once they come in. Never take your customers for granted, or assume they will come to you \u201cjust because\u201d.<\/p>\n An effective marketing plan starts with an experienced marketing team.
