Customers want to do business with businesses they like. Itās that simple. While we shouldnāt have to emphasize this fact, we sometimes forget that emotions often drive our purchasing decisions, not logic.
When sending marketing material to customers, you have to first develop rapport with those customers, or else your marketing will simply become another āto reviewā item on customersā lists. Start with a call or a coffee meeting.
Find commonalities. Listen to the customerās challenges. Show them appreciation and gain their trust. Then, send the marketing material with a personal note and a reminder of some shared moment.
