Two back-to-basics things you need to remember this January:

1. Market!  Market!  Market!  Bang the drum, reminding your customers about who you and what why you are the greatest thing to happen since Al Gore invented the Internet.  This how you bring in new customers!   Marketing is especially imporant now, since the economy is showing key signs of rousing from its long winter’s nap.   So, you’d better be in a key position to capitalize on all that pent up demand when would-be buyers start looking around for places to spend that money.  Make sure you name is on their lips.
2. Offer Up Customer Service Like Ham on Rye in a New York Deli!  In other words, generously, as if you were taking care of your own mother.  This is how you keep existing customers coming back time and again!  It always amazes me how some businesses work like dogs to drag in new customers and then treat them like they couldn’t care less if they ever came back.  And then there’s total surprise when they don’t!   

The bottom line:  It doesn’t get any simpler than that.  Remember that the customers are your lifeblood.  Keep them happy and they’ll keep you in the black.

Work hard.  Make money.  Have fun.
