4. Send a magazine article of interest to the customer.
5. Create open lines of communication.
6. When connecting online, ask good questions.
7. Ask for input and feedback.
8. Show care.

If you look around, you will see this happening all the time. Larger companies even have a staff to do nothing but keep in contact with customers through Social Pages such as Facebook or LinkedIn. We small guys may not be able to go to such lengths but a little effort can go a long way. We can drop a note from time to time. Give a call to check in or drop an email. If you track your customers on Facebook, it is easy to send them birthday congrats. Just the fact you are reaching out is worth a great deal in today’s economy and business environment. Of course, the most important things are always the basics of:
1. Offer a quality product
2. Do it right the first time
3. Deliver it on time (and if something goes wrong fix the problem immediately) Word of mouth will be your reward, those clients that appreciate you will communicate what they like and the ball will roll on, picking up steam that will herald your success!
