Must-Do Tips for Communication in the New Year
Be a Step Ahead of Your Customers and Proactively Discuss Fuel Prices
Lately, prices are extremely unpredictable, and customers expect you to promote your methodology for competitive pricing. If you communicate honestly and openly about what your company is doing in response to surging fuel prices, customers are more likely to respond in a positive manner. Offering alternative solutions to making fuel prices more manageable, like signing up for a budget or pricing plan, can help too. Be sure to emphasize that while fuel prices are out of your control, you’re doing everything you can to make their cost as fair as possible. Successfully communicating these details will prevent your customers from shopping around in the New Year.

Implement a Streamlined Hiring Process and Fill Job Openings
If you need to find qualified candidates to fill driver and technician roles, this is the time to hire. Waiting until delivery requests start rolling in by the dozen is the worst time to start looking for seasonal drivers. Consumer Focus Marketing can create, optimize, post, and monitor your job ads to maximize the number of qualified inquiries you receive.
Focus Your Marketing Efforts and Meet Your Goals
By outlining your objectives for the upcoming year now, you’ll have a tangible goal for your marketing efforts. You can do this yourself or outsource to a qualified marketing company who can use their experience and staff to take care of these important responsibilities for you.
