We promised more content from our latest exciting project.

The other day, I shared the book cover for a new client. Today, I want to share with you the bookmarks we had designed and printed.

Our client is currently out west at an event, and is receiving some great feedback on the bookmarks, which is exciting!

We are in the process of developing other materials. We will share those too…as well as details about the book and related communication efforts!

I am really jazzed about this new client, which includes designing the book cover for their new book. Here it is, and more to come on this exciting project:

Here is another logo that we’ve just completed. This was a tricky one. This is for Video Dust Jacket from the High Velocity boys. Video Dust Jacket is a project where the High Velocity team travels to visit and interview business authors and bring their thought leadership and written works to light…

We had to produce a new logo for a concept about building community, serving others, and bringing profitable business and people of influence into your CIRCLE. The concept is called CircleNomics…

A new client proposed a fun challenge. Create a logo for a new blog entitled Southern Catholic Chicks. This blog is the journey of two southern ladies who converted to Catholicism. The goal was to appeal to younger folks, demonstrate their southern origins (thus the glass of iced tea), and also maintain the dignity of their religious seriousness.

Be An Intrepid Marketer – Recommendation No. 28

If you are not currently seeking real, honest feedback from your customers, you are missing out. Big time!

There is no better way to learn ways to improve the customer experience – than to ask the customer what worked, what didn’t, and what can be improved. And the amazing thing is? It is so easy to do. And yet so many don’t do it.

Why? Are they afraid to receive negative feedback? If so, then it’s time to quit.

As readers of this blog know, I do the marketing for FuegoMundo Wood-Fire Grill. We just opened our doors last week. So far, we are thrilled with the traffic and the early reviews!

But let me tell you something, there are two clear reasons why we are getting strong early reviews:

1. The FuegoMundo team worked hard to begin building a place where we could deliver a good customer experience.

2. We asked a lot of people for feedback. Before we opened.

How did this happen? We had SIX separate events where we invited people to the restaurant, allowed them to live the experience, and then when done, gave them a detailed form to collect feedback.

And man did we get some, and it improved the way we do things. What resulted from the feedback from about 250 people was menu changes, staff procedure changes, messaging changes, and strategic marketing changes.

It made us better.

[Do you know how easy it was to get people to participate? Just get on Twitter and Facebook and invite them to participate. Easy - if you define "easy" as working for months to build a community online using social media...]

And now that we are open, we are still aggressively seeking feedback. The artwork seen in this blog post is the very customer feedback card that rests on each table in the restaurant. You can’t imagine how many cards were filled out just in the first three days…

We want to hear from you. We want you to tell us what we can do better. Sure, we like hearing good stuff, which helps us know we are on the right track. But seriously, we need to know the bad stuff. That’s the only way we can improve. That’s the only way we can, together with our community, create something that people will want to talk about and share.

And that’s how we will grow. That’s how we will succeed. That’s how we will build momentum to start a second location.

And it all starts with asking your customer for a little feedback.

Be Intrepid.
