As the title promises on “easily adaptable health tips” but the reader doesn't find the health tips to be new, fresh and moreover not easy to follow then it creates a bad relationship with your audience.

And LinkedIn is more of a professional platform. 

Depending upon your business you need to choose the right platform and create interesting, engaging content for your audience. Email Marketing is another best b2b quality lead generation method for any business as it gives opportunities for marketers to create personalized and customized content and deliver directly into the inbox of their ideal prospects.

4. Why you should be focusing on Customer Retention?

As much as you focus on acquiring new clients you also need to put the same efforts on retaining the existing customers. Always be available for customers to help and resolve all their queries post product or service purchase. It is also more profitable to sell a new product or additional services to the same customer than to a new one.

The process of retaining can be achieved through rewarding individuals with the best discount offers on the new product, additional benefits like 1-year free service on products or services they purchase, creating combo offers and so on depending on your business.

Existing customers are already aware of your brand, products and services you provide and hence it won’t take much time and effort to draw their attention to buy your newly launched products or services where as it is difficult with new customers as you have put in a lot of time and effort to build their trust towards you to draw their attention to take any necessary action about your business.
