How to Gain a Customer and Keep One
To gain and retain customers, a company needs to offer a product or service that provides enduring satisfaction and fulfills a genuine need. The company should build genuine relationships with customers rather than resorting to inauthentic advertising tactics. In today's competitive and noisy commercial space, attracting customers based solely on price is not sustainable. The key is to offer something unique and valuable that resonates with customers. Transparency and authenticity in marketing are crucial, as customers can easily see through false representations. Investing in storytelling that reflects the true essence of the company and its offerings is essential. Leveraging personal stories and videos from founders can create a deeper connection with customers, showcasing the passion and purpose behind the product or service.
