Over time customers’ needs alter and as a business owner it’s your responsibility to respond in a timely way and embrace change. That’s what we’ve done recently, after we took a step back, revisited our regular communications and asked our loyal customers and prospects for their feedback.
Mix things up
For the last few years, we’ve happily shared information on a weekly basis with subscribers from our different databases. From blogs, top tips and highlighting experiences on certain subjects, as well as plenty of client stories, we have sought to appeal to our different audiences.

Creating a community
The whole point of these changes really, is that we want our clients, prospects, suppliers, business contacts and other stakeholders to become more involved, revisit our emails, keep hold of information and share stuff with others.
