Example 1
As is
known to all,
it is very important for
a company to ***.
I think a company
should try every possible way to ****.
First,
it should always make
sure that it provides its customers with quality
goods and
after-sales service.
Second,
it should lay enough
emphasis on the feedback from its current
customers a
nd take prompt action to
take care of their needs and demands.
Third,
if possible it may
provide some incentives to its old customers.
For example, it can grant a certain
discount to them if their purchases reach a
certain
amount.
Apart from
all these,
a company should design
strategies to attract new customers a
nd
create transactions with them, to expand their
customer base, so to speak. These
strat
egies include product
diversification and upgrading.
All in
all, a company should try its utmost/best to keep
its current customers satisfied
with
its products and services, and at the same time it
should stay ahead of the market thr
ough
product and pricing strategies.
