Over the past few years, we’ve seen a rise in companies using relationship-based marketing to connect more deeply with customers. It was used during the pandemic and it’s seeing a resurgence now, as the economy is facing a recession.

But here’s the problem… companies haven’t been using it consistently.

If you focus on implementing relationship marketing strategies year-round, not just when times are tough, there’s no telling how your brand (and your customers) will flourish. Better yet, you can use relationship marketing to turn your brand into a unicorn.

How? Well, let’s talk about it!
