Similarly, more mature customers will probably prefer to be contacted via ezine or email. Learn from your competitors successes and failures, and adapt your plan to include the strategies that were successful. Pretend to be a customer and have contact with competitors to find out what is effective and what isn't. Ask your customers to complete a short survey after they have made a transaction with you to detail their preferences regarding your service. Try a few methods, and monitor how your customers respond to each. However, make sure to choose your strategies based on your products and services. For example, if you sell products of a private or personal nature, your customers may not want to associate themselves with you on a public social networking website. You can fine tune your successful approach over time with some trial and error, as well as some common sense.
