Effective Marketing per USA Today

http://www.usatoday.com/money/books/reviews/2005-07-25-buzz-marketing_x.htm

Want to know how effective your marketing is? Mark Hughes suggests that
you ask your customers two questions.

How did you hear about us?
Would you go out of your way to recommend our product to a friend?

If they would go out of their way to talk about you, you know you’ve hit it.

That’s customer evangelism.


The guy who wrote the book is Mark Hughes - he’s the same guy that had a town
rename itself and then eBay bought him out for $300 Million!!!

Re: Effective Marketing per USA Today

One of my objectives is to ask my customers if they'd recommend us to others.

I have some customers who've told me and my wife that they'd stopped coming for a long time when the place was under the previous ownership but now they find the place much changed and would come again.

As to your question.... I am about to make sure they hear of me. I am about to every business in my zip code. Once that's done, I will start to let the residents know who, what, where I am.

Shooting for the sky. Rest is up to Allah.
