How much is a new customer worth? A burrito?

November 11, 2009 by Auntie Kate of Too Good to be Threw

Is a new consignment customer worth a burrito?Is a new customer worth a burrito?. Read this blogger’s thought. The author suggests that perhaps, we make our marketing more difficult than it is.

How about a casual lunchtime fashion show…with fresh fruit and mini-quiches (doesn’t Sam’s Club make these?) and sparkling flavored water. Not one of those where everyone has to sit and admire, but where the models circulate and chat.

Or a lunchtime “Organizing your Child’s Possessions” light-hearted presentation? If you’re looking for more suppliers. Choosing a Lamp? What your walls say about you (selecting art for your home)?

Or any simple topic, that you or a staffer or a fan can cover in 15 minutes or less. Or simply: nosh and shop: simple finger foods, non-greasy, so they can shop instead of waiting for their lunch to be served.

Would work great in an area with lots of potential customers who work in Buy a latte...or get your shop listed as a sponsor on the #1 Google site for resale shopping? Tough choice?offices…if, of course, you publicize it! And don’t forget the reminders in their e-mail boxes at 8 am that morning!

Or maybe a customer’s worth a latte? What do you think?
