Rock On 2014...  Don't Stop Dreaming, Don't Stop Working, Don't Stop Making, Don't Stop Believing, Don't Stop Now!! Happy New Year! Get Inspired by these Quotes from Innovators & Change Makers “ Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of other's opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary. ” ― Steve Jobs " The biggest risk is not taking any risk... In a world that's changing really quickly, the only strategy that is guaranteed to fail is not taking risks ." ― Mark Zucke...

Do Greeting Cards Increase Customer Loyalty?

Image
Do Greeting Cards Increase Customer Loyalty?  After reviewing client data, a local veterinarian realized he had a high percentage of clients that used him once or twice. But for some reason, the repeat and loyal customer base was waning. After tuning up the office’s internal structure, the doctor began looking for a cost effective strategy to remain connected to his clients, remind customers of his services, and increase loyalty. The veterinary clinic settled on a #greeting card initiative and sent them generously. If a client came to the office with a new pet, a card was sent welcoming them to the “family.” If a customer came in with a sick animal, a get well soon card was mailed within 24 hours of their visit. A client who recently lost a beloved pet called the office after receiving a card and said, “I needed that card today. It made me feel loved, cared for, and not simply a #customer. Thank you. I could never think of using anyone else for my pet needs.” It may sound like such...
