Relationship Marketing... It is a common phrase that is much bandied about at the moment, yet highly misunderstood. Many people believe that there are shortcuts to relationship marketing. That is like saying there are shortcuts to relationships. It ain't so. There is no substitute for time and genuine concern.
The first thing you should notice about the phrase is that 'relationship' is first, and 'marketing' is second. That should be a general rule for businesses, but it isn't.You should try to develop a relationship with your clients in all of your marketing material, whether it is a radio ad, newspaper, ezine, or your own website. If you are successful in building trust, people will be more willing to do business with you. You should think of your customers and prospects as human beings whom you are striving to serve, not just as people to make a buck from.
