Newsletters, Content and Much More

Do you like to keep in regular contact with your customers? Regular contact is a simple way to remind your customers, “Hey, I’m out here!” Quality contact is an easy way to bring a customer back.

One easy way to keep the communication lines open is a newsletter. Monthly, Quarterly, Weekly. Your choice! (Although, don’t overwhelm your customers with too much information in too short a time period.) Another way to open up dialogue is through Social Media like Facebook where you can point your fans to articles they would be interested in that are relevant to your business.

How to start your list

If you decide to reach out to your customers through a newsletter you can start a simple mailing list by using a newsletter service like Constant Contact. They have a ‘Join My Mailing List Box’ that you can place on Facebook or your own website. Here is an example of a subscription box we use on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/MilitaryAvenue?sk=app_4949752878 or http://www.facebook.com/MilitaryAvenue?sk=app_141428856257.

You may also consider asking new customers when they come in to your store or place of business if they would like to receive your newsletter. If they do, ask for their email address. Perhaps a simple clipboard and paper kept by your cash register or computer will work well too.

But what about Material?
