Today I was surprised as I was looking at a company site for a new release which I was looking forward to as a customer of their products and sure enough they started to list the new item. Out of curiosity, I looked at their older items to see if there was a discount as a result and I was surprised to learn on their page that they actually posted some of my work I created using their products. The project they linked to actually wasn\u2019t specifically about just their items so that was kind of interesting that they listed it anyways.<\/p>\n
I was thinking how since I was a happy customer for them and they had avenues to contact me publicly, as a business they could have easily asked me for say a specific testimonial or review for the item and I would have been happy to give one. It would look nicer on their company page too to have material that just focuses on the product in question.<\/p>\n
It makes me think, are you afraid as a business to reach out to your customers to potentially get public testimonials in these ways? Because like in this example you are probably missing out on a lot of free publicity per se.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
