Getting the word out to the Military Community
I want to reiterate how thankful we are for our MilitaryAvenue Partners! You are the businesses and the communities that support our military and their families. They need to know you stand behind them, beside them and with them. (As a military spouse, I can tell you, that thought is from the heart!) Your story, your discount, your support is a very important piece of the MilitaryAvenue story. (I would say the most important part.) The part that lets the military know about the support they can find in their community. So how do we spread the word for you? Military Discounts Page. This is one of our most visited pages on MilitaryAvenue.com. Military families…

Military Discounts, MilitaryAvenue and YOU!
Recently we polled our Military Families as to what their favorite part of MilitaryAvenue.com was. They had a wide list of choices because, quite frankly, we have a lot to offer. We were very eager to learn what was the most interesting to them. We have our military-family blog, “Our Letters to You“; written by military-families for enjoyment, knowledge and empowerment. Daily we post articles from the Department of Defense, the Commissary, Military OneSource, USAA, and other great resources for our military-families knowledge: http://militaryavenue.com/ReadingRoom.aspx At each installation we have local information, phone numbers, social media sites, and much much more. By the way, we are always looking for more local information to…

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.

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…
