5am At Mango Media Caribbean


What do you remember most about your first love?...

Related Categories: Marketing

 

 

...How you met or how you broke up?

My bet would be on the break up. The way you cried (or laughed).  What you said. And the way the relationship dissolved. How you met probably  never forms  the larger part of your memory or conversation.

Last impressions count but if you are a marketer chances are you don’t think much about it. After all  we’ve heard enough times that we never get a second chance to make a first impression.

So what do we do?

We focus on the packaging, on the way our marketing collateral looks; we put all our efforts into the entrance but hardly any resources to the exit. Our logic and training says that it’s the first blush that will capture the attention of the masses  but after that what’s next?

I think plenty.

Recently my firm did some work for CARDI. Our first date was perfect. There was great chemistry. They had a need and we could deliver. We handled the media relations at two of their  conferences and we worked really hard to deliver on things that were never part of our original agreement. I think that’s  important,  to give more than necessary to anticipate needs and over deliver. 

But then came the after service call and an expressed dissatisfaction with  our photographer. 

This could have been our last interaction. And no matter how good our beginning what the principals would have remembered was that the hiccough with the photography. 

Of course we worked to correct the impression. And while it was the client who forgot an aspect of our agreement which led to  their over heightened expectation,  we worked hard to make our  last impression with them  count. We apologised, sent a card , offered a discount.

 The last interaction, in my experience, is responsible for virtually all of the word of mouth you're going to get, positive or negative.

A thank you card for the referral. The chocolates left at the counter, the call that says how much you appreciate the business week after the job is completed.  It all matters.

The sunglasses are as much a latest tendency declaration as they are a time checked eye defence gear. If they are conceived by focused designers and convey a dedicated emblem title, so much the better. This is the cause that persons favour to proceed for sunglasses businesses like Oakley, Chanel, Gucci, and Ray Ban. With their bleeding for demonstration charges although not every individual can pay for them and gaze for <a href="http://ray-ban-sunglasses.org/ray-ban-3360-c-53.ht... Ban 3360 sunglasses</a> which are replica of them. Not only are replica sunglasses bargain, they furthermore resemble the originals very much.
While there are certain draw backs adhered to them. One of the most widespread draw backs are they are reduced value and don't offer any UV protection. Thus, they supply the short period advantage and furthermore shatter very so straightforward or drop apart in a very short time span of time. Despite all this, Replica <a href="http://ray-ban-sunglasses.org/ray-ban-3387-c-59.ht... Ban 3387</a> are very well liked and deal very well.
