Country BusinessI recently read this article through Country Business magazine.

There is some great advice for getting and keeping your customers attention.

As a retailer, have you employed some of these ideas with success?  What other advice would you offer?

As a consumer, what are some of the little things or services that company’s provided that have caught and kept your attention?

This photo is a sign that Natalie recently spotted.  It is for a local dentist’s office, and reads, “No anesthetic for Michigan fans.”
