It usually prefixes a fixed or established day for your email marketing and always generates quality content. Your audience will reward you without ever forgetting about you.

Every time you get a client, do not forget everything that has cost you to obtain it. From the direct expenses to that management as the time of meetings, generation of proposals, travel expenses, brochures. Or indirect ones, such as events, marketing campaigns, etc. Being aware of this will allow you to focus on the fact that customer service is an investment, and not an expense of your company. Consumers do not expect you to be perfect but if they want to be treated with respect and dedication.
4. Surprise your consumers
According to scientists Paul Ekman and Wallace V. Friesen, surprise is one of the 6 basic human emotions. Try to positively surprise your customers periodically. Give those customers who appreciate the most an unexpected benefit, be it a small additional gift with your order or an additional service not contemplated contractually. Strategic alliances with companies in complementary sectors are a great source of customer loyalty for both parties. That is, a brand of women’s or men’s clothing can be associated with a cosmetics company or body care products to offer differential benefits to its customers.
5. Organize and sponsor events

These actions will place your company at the top of the ranking and in the recognition of the public.
6. Generates Engagement through social networks

You use intelligence, creativity, and long-term vision, and you will surely be rewarded for it.
7. Remember the end of the year gifts
Memories tell that entrepreneurial gifts began in the nineteenth century, when a shoe factory gave out bags of books printed with their name to local schools, at the behest of an impresario named Jasper Meeks, who thus became the father of this industry. Not for old, it stops being effective. Innovate and amaze your customers with original and valuable gifts. They will be expectant every year to receive them, and it will be an additional reason to remain firm with your company.
