Experts agree that profitability is all about creating loyal customers to drive repeat business and referrals. And since it is roughly six to ten times less expensive to sell to an existing customer than it is to acquire a new one, the value of customer loyalty and repeat business is just too compelling to ignore.

It?s All About Communication!

How do you get repeat business and earn customer loyalty?
Take a lesson from small businesses that long ago grasped the dynamics of building customer relationships through communication. They nurture their customers over time by learning and remembering individual preferences and interests.

They acquire this customer information directly from customers through personal interaction. And they keep in touch with customers on a regular basis ensuring their business remains 'top of mind.'

Statistics show that it takes six to seven contacts before you can turn a prospect into a customer. All that contact can be expensive, and time consuming. That?s where email marketing becomes a critical part of your marketing efforts.

Email marketing offers business owners an opportunity to reach out to customers and prospects, and increase customer retention in ways that were simply not possible just a few short years ago. Whether you do it yourself or hire an agency to handle the entire process, email marketing should be a big part of your customer relationship efforts.
Are your emails CAN-SPAM Compliant? Ask yourself::

1. Does your email include a way for recipients to unsubscribe, e.g. an unsubscribe/opt-out link and/or instructions?

2. Are you prepared to handle all unsubscribe requests within 10 days of the request? Across all lists?

3. Is your physical address included in your email campaign?

4. Are you using good mailing practices? Have you been honest and truthful?

5. Have you used a legitimate header? Have you used a valid "From" address? Is your "Subject" line straightforward, vs. misleading?

You should answer 'yes' to all before you hit the 'Send' button.
