Personal Introduction

Running a business takes lots of time and sometimes there just isn’t enough time to look after the important area of marketing. The order book looks good at the moment, so perhaps you think you don’t need to worry about marketing at the moment. But that’s where you’re wrong. Unless you keep your eye firmly on the needs of your customers, you might not have any customers next week. That’s why you need to draw up a marketing plan and start putting in place the strategies vital for the long-term growth of your business. But not flowery words in fancy documents, practical marketing solutions that can be quickly implemented and lead to increased turnover for your business. But do you know exactly what your customers want? You may think you do but until you actually ask customers you are actually working in the dark. Surveys and focus groups are just some of the market research expertise that Customer Sense has.
