3 strategies that have worked to attract and retain customers? 

✅ Building an email marketing list has been a great way to retain current customers and convert new customers by offering subscriber deals. It also provides great opportunities to update and interact with customers. 

✅ Social Media. A great way to stay in touch with existing customers and attract new ones. Regular organic posting has done very well for us. 

✅ SEO. This is something that is a constant effort as it rapidly changes often. SEO is always a work in progress but has paid regular dividends in attracting new customers. 

3 things that you’ve learned about hiring and retaining great talent? 
✅ Put people in positions that they are fit for and excel in. If you have to micromanage, you probably have not matched the right person for the job. Set them up for success with proper training and create an environment where people are comfortable bringing things to attention. 

✅ Lead by example. I feel that a good leader should always be willing to jump in when needed. Your team will work harder if they respect you and they should be able to count on you when they need direction or guidance. That is what a leader is. Create an

atmosphere of problem-solving where it is okay to make mistakes, as long as we learn from them. That’s how we grow. 

✅ Create opportunities for career growth. You will retain good employees much longer if they have a path to career advancement.
