How to Stick In The Minds of Your Customers
It’s not so much getting people’s attention that’s the hard part. It’s making sure they remember you that proves to be the challenging aspect. No matter what industry you’re in, it’s important that you’re working hard to make a lasting, positive impression on all that interacts with your business. Most people don’t buy from a company the second that they hear about it. That part is just laying the groundwork. If you’re still in their mind when it comes to making a purchase, then you’ll have succeeded. But of course, all of this is easier said than done. There are things you can do to make sure you stick in their mind, however. We take a look at a few ways below.

Have an Identity
Unless you have something insanely great to offer the public, something that they’ve never seen before, then you’ll need to work on developing your corporate identity. Your branding is important for all aspects of your business, but especially when it comes to staying in the minds of your customers. It doesn’t really matter what it is, so long as you’re consistent, though it’s generally better that it’s in line with your industry. For example, if you’re aimed at young people, then hip and cool; if you’re a tech company, then forward thinking/insanely smart, and so on.
Free Swag
One problem that companies face is that while they can make a good impression, most people are pretty forgetful. They could love everything about your company, and then go home, and the next day they’ve moved on to something else. One way to get around this is to make sure they’re taking something your name on home with them. Invest in a laser cutter, and you’ll be able to create your own swag, which you can then give away free — take a look at a Boss Laser review to see some of the cool stuff you can do with your own laser cutter. Once you’ve got your goodies, come up with ways to give them away — be it handing them out on the streets, at trade shows, or including them with promotional materials.
Take a Stand
If you want to stand out in the minds of your potential customers, then you need to reflect the things that they care about. More and more, consumers are opting to give their business to companies who take a stand, and this is especially true when it comes to the younger generation. If you make it part of your mission to campaign on one particular issue, then people will remember you. Just make sure that it’s not controversial — you’ll be remembered, but not for the right reasons.
Above and Beyond
Finally, remember that there’s no alternative to delivering excellent service! This involves doing more than just whatever you’re getting paid to do (say, package and send an item), but rather going the extra mile to ensure the customer is completely happy with their buying experience. It’ll always make a good impression.
