Besides being a day to stuff our faces and fall asleep in the middle of the afternoon, Thanksgiving is a time to reflect and give thanks for all of the wonderful things in your life. While it may be obvious that you should be thankful for your health, family, and that winning scratch-off you found in the parking lot (hey, 16 bucks is 16 bucks), you should also be thankful for your loyal customers who have been bringing you business for years.
By taking the opportunity this Thanksgiving to thank your customers, you will not only make them feel good, you will more easily retain them. Remember, reselling to old customers is far easier than acquiring new ones (which typically costs more) and selling to them.

Whether it’s picking up the phone, writing a handwritten note or sending a personalized email, reaching out in this way at unexpected times can do wonders for taking your relationship to the next level.

Finally Purchase That CRM System
If you’ve been hemming and hawing at whether or not to purchase a customer relationship management (CRM) system, do yourself and your clients a favor this Thanksgiving, bite the bullet and purchase one. Not only will a CRM system help you stay more organized in your marketing efforts, it will also help you deliver a better overall customer experience.
It does this by letting you see exactly which types of content your customers are viewing on your site so you can more easily meet their needs. And hey, who doesn’t appreciate having their needs met at the just the right time?

    “Don’t you want to go where everybody knows your name” (cheers) Is the jingle that was the theme song for an old tv series called Cheers. Cheers were the name of the bar that was a small family and everyone knew each other that came in. The people were so comfortable that they continued to come back because they felt like the people and the owner of this bar valued them not for the income that they help generate or just another customer. This is how my small company will survive and beat Wal-Mart because they do value their customers. I would like to have a customer’s appreciation day and possible award cards similar to Kroger’s where you’re able to receive discounts if you are a registered shopper.…

    Have you ever noticed how in the stores you will see a plethora of Halloween costumes, decorations and the like but immediately following Halloween, you see Christmas themed decorations all over and very little to commemorate Thanksgiving? The most I've seen have had leaves and maybe a cornucopia and really only enough scattered throughout the store to fill a half to one whole aisle. It seems that our national holiday is only truly named and observed within "leaked" black friday ads, alerting you to when the advertised deals start. This never really bothered me in the past. As a little girl Thanksgiving was all about the Macy's Parade, the dog show, food, and the countdown until santa claus and presents galore.…

In her family the guys sit down and watch football while waiting for the food to be finished, but the guys in my family sit outside and talk about stuff going on in their lives.
