Besides delivering outstanding customers service, I would also focus on getting referrals from those customers who are happy. Word of mouth still goes a long way.

I think the challenge for most small businesses is how do you do that. Like the commercial that has a banner at the end saying, we fix $6.00 hair cuts. Most businesses do not have the money to hire a PR firm but that doesn't mean you can take good ideas and adapt them for your own niche. My 2 cents, always give better customer service than your competition. Look for ways to give back to the community, people will notice. Do things that will help others without any expectations for anything in return. Be bold. Thanks Rob Good article Brent,
