1)      Consistent messaging – Make sure all of your marketing communications say the same thing at the same time. If you’re running an offer, promotion or ongoing campaign, this message needs to be consistent throughout all your communications. Always consider, email, website, social media & branded literature.

2)      Provide value for your audience – 71% say content they don’t like seems more like sales pitches then valuable info (Source: Economist Intelligence Unit/Flagship Community).
