Advice: Observations, Marketing & More

After more than 30 years at the very highest level in service and sales, I can let you in on a few secrets: 

1: Customers don’t care about brands anywhere near as much as brands think they do
2: Customers don’t want relationships with brands
3: Customers don’t want to engage with brands
4: Customers don’t want to join a conversation with a brand
5: Customers get pissed off if you irritate them with irrelevant content marketing about your brand

All customers want, is benefits and value. That underpins everything. And that is the only thing me and my team focus on – and 98.8% of the time we get results other people can’t. 

There are marketing options, as you can see below.

Minimum 2 hours 

Me, or a member of my team will visit you for 2 hours  

We will provide you with 1-3 pages of detailed notes about the strengths and weaknesses of your service, how to improve it, and potential ideas to fix key problems. Service is evaluated on eight key criteria, including concept, characters, structure, marketability,  rhythm, tone, craft, and hook.

Turnaround time is usually around one week, sometimes more but usually less. 
(The right tweak can increase your sales and profits by 10 to 30% within days).

Letters

$1,500+

You and I have got used to reading from a screen. A piece of paper in our hands is a refreshing change

Don’t believe me?
I wrote 2 letters as part of a campaign for a restaurant. They had never tried direct mail before. They couldn’t believe the results.
The campaign produced $3,300 on avg. per night in additional food & beverage sales the first week from new customers.

(The number 1 is the loneliest number in business. It means – if you are only using one channel to market your business you probably aren’t doing as well as you could).

From the moment that we are welcomed by Eric at the door, to sitting at the bar and enjoying the suggestions and company to an amazing dinner, it is always one of our favorite nights.
