The Correlation Between Business Etiquette and Public Relations
"If they are talking about you, you must be something right!"
- as heard on a local news broadcast this week.
So why not be known as the vendor who treats his clients well and
thanks them for their business?
thanks them for their business?
Expressing gratitude not only changes attitudes but
encourages positive business relationships and repeat customers!

Got Customers Returning?
From Wikipedia:
Customer retention is the activity that a selling organization undertakes in order to reduce customer defections. Successful customer retention starts with the first contact an organization has with a customer and continues throughout the entire lifetime of a relationship. A company’s ability to attract and retain new customers, is not only related to its product or services, but strongly related to the way it services its existing customers and the reputation it creates within and across the marketplace.

Customer retention is more than giving the customer what they expect, it’s about exceeding their expectations so that they become loyal advocates for your brand. Creating customer loyalty puts ‘customer value rather than maximizing profits and shareholder value at the center of business strategy’.[1] The key differentiator in a competitive environment is more often than not the delivery of a consistently high standard of customer service.
Customer retention has a direct impact on profitability. Research by John Fleming and Jim Asplund indicates that engaged customers generate 1.7 times more revenue than normal customers, while having engaged employees and engaged customers returns a revenue gain of 3.4 times the norm.

Question: What are the benefits of blogging for small business?
Answer:
- Build Community: Business blogs provide your small business with a chance to share your expertise and knowledge with a larger audience.
- Easy Web Publishing Solution: ...Simply write your thoughts, link to resources, and publish to your blog, all at the push of a few buttons... Updating the weblog is a faster process than contacting a web designer with changes or doing the coding and uploading yourself.
- Higher Search Engine Rankings: Search engine marketing is hot. The search market has become the Holy Grail of Internet advertising and continues to grow faster than our expectations. We believe search is actually gaining some market share from other types of online marketing. Business blogging offers an affordable solution for small business. Business bloggers are achieving top search engine rankings because search engines rank based on link popularity and easy to index regular content among other factors. Learning the basic skills of search engine optimization and good content management are keys to better rankings for bloggers.
- Lower Costs: Blogging is a low-cost alternative to having a web presence. For small business owners without the time to learn web html or the money to hire a designer/developer, blogging offers an inexpensive method to get your company's name out on the Internet.
- Better Communications: Blogging provides several communication benefits. As indicated by Business Weeks’ Olga Kharif in “Blogging for Business” Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban sees blogging as a time saver instead of providing many interviews blogging gets his message out to many people at once.
