Continuous Marketing
Marketing should never stop. Marketing needs to constantly remind your customer base that you are there and what you do. Even when you don't have one minute of manufacturing capacity to sell, you need to constantly market your services. Personnel changes within your customer base are targets, personnel changes within your prospect base take place and the new people need to know who you are and what you do. You need to constantly line up prospects in the wings to take the place of customers that leave for one reason or another. You are also marketing to your bank, your insurance agent and other organizations that interface with you. You need to make a continuous effort every month to market your company to the world. You can't play catch up with marketing.
