Take a real lunch break, grab a sandwich, shut your door and sit down at your computer. You’ve already caught your customer’s attention – now keep them interested. A lengthy newsletter is too stressful. You don’t have time to put together a multiple-email campaign. But you can easily bust out a quick update about cool things going on in your industry right now, share a customer success story, or offer a promotion of some kind. You have the email addresses, you have the software, all you have to do is write the content and click send. Piece of cake!
Do you only have 15 minutes to spare in your schedule for lunch today? Grab some trail mix from the vending machine and log in to the social media account where you have the most engagement. Connect with your customers there by asking a question, sharing a relevant news article, giving a shout out to a customer or member of your staff, or posting a cute photo of your office dog. People like that kinda stuff. No pun intended Facebook users.
Are you not even taking a lunch break today? Use that free coffee coupon you found in your email, grab a cup, and make your rounds in the company. This isn’t inbound marketing per se, but it’s still important. You’re doing recon to make sure your company is delivering on what it promises. Take a minute or two to check in with key players in your small business to see how things are going. Or sit down, log in to your inbound marketing software, and check out a quick report to get an idea of where your company stands at that moment. One of the best ways to retain the customers you have now is to deliver on your promises so that you keep growing your business. Your customers will keep coming back and they’ll tell their friends about you too.
