How are you telling your story when promoting your business? How are you giving your customers a feel for what it is like to do business with you and what inspired you to do business in this manner in the first place? Telling the story behind your business can give your customers insight in a very personal and compelling way. Your inspiration can become their inspiration to do business with you over competitors. To learn more about how to engage your customers within your business, read Secrets #14 (Relationships vs. Transactions), #18 (The Personal Touch), #20 (Celebration & Recognition) and #21 (The WOW Factor) in my book, 50 Marketing Secrets.
