For non-retailers, Christmas is less about winning over the seasonal shopping crowds, and more about consolidating existing relationships. But how?   How do you thank your customers? Thanking the people who use your products and services helps to build a closer relationship with them.

The budget doesn’t have to be huge when it comes to corporate Christmas gifts. Often, it’s the evidence of proper consideration and planning which means more.

But for businesses it’s time to get festive plans underway, especially as far as marketing is concerned. Is your business ready for Christmas?

  Why Client Retention Needs Branded Merchandise 2nd July 2019 Make the effort and expense of acquiring new clients do even more for your business, by securing their custom for the future, too. An effective customer retention strategy should include the use of promotional branded items which keep your brand on the radar. Why is it cheaper to retain customers? The push to find new clients uses up more resources than the cost of retaining existing ones. Add the possible reputational damage done by  losing  customers, and it makes more sense to look at how to keep clients with you. Customers tend to talk about a product or service if it’s very good or very bad. Capitalise on the good work you do by actively encouraging existing contacts to spread the word.
