Your customer base is under attack!

By Jim Connolly | December 18, 2009

In just a couple of weeks, your customer base or client base will come under attack!

Why?

Because January is when your most savvy competitors will launch their New Year marketing initiatives.  These guys are the one’s you need to watch out for, as they tend to do things very effectively, (it’s why I call them savvy.)  They will be targeting your existing customers and your prospective customers with the most attractive offers and deals they possibly can.

Many of your competitors will be working with professional marketing consultants and copy writers, who will have written powerful marketing material, to motivate your customers to join them.  This is especially the case, if you work in the business to business sector.  This marketing material will already have been written and is waiting to be sent or published.

Here’s the good news!

It’s not too late for you to do something about this.  It’s not too late for you to ramp up your New Year marketing.

However, if you have still not developed a marketing strategy, to retain your existing clients and win new ones, here’s the best advice I can offer you.  Reschedule your next call or meeting and get working on it immediately! If you don’t know what to do, talk to someone who does.

It’s that important.
