Customers keep a business alive. If you want to have a successful business then you have to build good relationships with your clients so they come back to you over and over again. In this article I will show you creative ideas to give back to the people who keep your business going. Giving first has to be your focus to begin with.
My goal in everything I develop, whether it be articles, blogs, teleseminars, newsletters or any product or service, I try to give you as much value that I can jam in as possible. Building a relationship with you is what is my number one focus, and it has to be yours too.
What would you be able to really do for them is you are on a tight budget?
The first thing, create an on-line newsletter.
Insider Ideas is what my monthly newsletter was called. You can still sign up for free and then you’ll have access to a 15 to 20 page newsletter once a month that I try to share with your as much information as I can. Now preparing something like this does take a lot of time, but focusing on giving is what I try to do and I want to make sure my costumers feel like they are getting a lot of value. It is returned back to me when I get testimonials from people expressing how much information they received in those newsletters and how much they look forward to getting them.
A second option, which I actually use now instead of a newsletter is developing a blog. If you are new to the blogging world, they are basically an online journal. What is great about a blog is you can use it a variety of way. It has given me the ability to use my blog as a platform from my online newsletter. What is even better about this is that the entries don’t have to be nearly as long and it is a lot easier to keep in contact with your customer base more frequently.
You can develop those for free by going to sites like Wordpress and Blogger. They are easy to set up and again, absolutely free. You can customize it, you can do all kinds of things with them.
If you would like to see an example of one of my blogs you can go to myideaguy.com and sign up for free.
It is a great example of developing an on-line blog or an on-line newsletter, and providing lots and lots of value.
Here is another suggestions that will help you build relationships with your customers: do teleseminars. You have to make sure though that you always keep in mind that you need to continue providing content rich information that your customers will want to hear about.
Nobody wants to be on call that is boring and where they can easily loose interest. You have to be able to keep your callers engaged and make the call fun to listen to. Sometimes on my calls I do things like hold a contest to keep the listeners engaged.
On a few of my teleseminars I’ve had all sorts of contests to keep people active and interested. From everything like testimonial contests, creative idea contests to contests to name products and services I’ve created. Whenever your doing teleseminars you have to make sure you keep it fun and interesting while providing content-rich material. Keep the focus: Give as much as you can.
There they are! I’ve outlined really great, and cost effective, methods that you can start using today to build better relationships with your costumers and even potential customers.
