3 reasons why you should be doing relationship marketing

Last week I talked a little about what relationship marketing is and today I'm going to talk about why you should be doing it.

1. You'll get new customers

90% of your competitors are fighting over the same 10% of the marketplace

2. You'll retain your existing customers

Let your customers/clients know you care about their business

3. You'll stay top of mind

How many of you got a birthday card from your dentist, insurance agent or other service provider? Go ahead, raise your hand. Now keep your hand raised if you remember that person's name. Raise it even higher if you're likely to refer that person to a friend.
