So simple yet so true… RT @MackCollier The secret to creating brand advocates – http://t.co/UsIlcb6
So true, Mack. My biggest struggle with this is educating clients so they *get it.*
@KatieFassl a very common struggle, unfortunately. Maybe we need to help them understand that an emotional connection to the brand leads to more $$$ over the lifetime of the customer? But that also blends into the idea of re-educating them about the value of the existing customer versus acquiring new ones.
@MackCollier we’re constantly educating– which I see as a good thing (says the eternal optimist :)). I love Social Media, because it forces us to have conversations that go beyond black & white ROI, and more into the nitty gritty of ROI– including re-educating clients about the value of the existing customer vs. acquiring new ones.
