You work hard to get that new client, but unless you work hard to keep them, somebody will work just as hard to take them away.
There are all kinds of statistics out there, such as 70% of customers leave because of perceived indifference; it costs 10 times as much to get a new customer as it costs to keep an existing customer; etc. The most important thing to remember is that the most difficult person to sell to is someone who's never bought from you before, while the easiest person to sell to is an existing customer.

According to the Master Relationship Marketing training offered by SendOutCards, 80% of contacts with a customer or prospect should be about building the relationship, while 20% can be marketing. The 7 cards in the campaign mentioned above are all geared to building the relationship. You can add one or two other cards to maybe offer a promotion or to ask for the business (from a prospect) or ask for a referral (from a customer). DO NOT do any marketing with the 7 cards in the campaign! You can put some marketing on the back panel, but to be even more effective you can add a tip or quote on the back of each card. As a relationship marketing specialist, I can add a relationship marketing tip to the back of each card. No matter what business you're in, you can do the same thing, Your clients and prospects will be more willing to buy or refer because you've added value to your relationship before asking for something in return.
So, reach out to me and I can get you set up whether you're an existing customer or not.
