A large portion of the selection process that a customer goes through is done through advertising ? attracting and reminding customers through promotions. Without doubt, the most effective strategy for retaining a customer is to provide excellent customer service, but you need them to sample your product or service initially. Once you receive their custom, you will need to remind them that you are there, willing and waiting for their next purchase! How do you do this? COMMUNICATION.

These include: * Sales letters You will need to find out what the best avenue for communication is for your customer. If it is an online business, emails and sales letters might be the best option.
