 As we kick off 2009, one thing is clear: we're entering an entirely new era for marketers. This is the year for building personal, one-to-one relationships. Right now, prospects want to make every purchase a smart one. That means they'll rely on companies or brands they know and trust. So, how do you ensure you
are one of the businesses they turn to? In this challenging economy, it is more important than ever to get ongoing feedback from your customers. By soliciting suggestions and encouraging open dialogue, you will not only learn what you're doing right or need to improve, you'll also help to cultivate customer relationships.
Here at PFL, we're wrapping up our 'Economic Stimulus Contest' to help small businesses buck the economic downturn. Again, December's entries were so creative, we couldn't choose just one. So, congratulations to first place winner Stephen Bailey from Chesapeake Retirement Solutions in Towson, MD who has won $1000 in FREE printing from PFL! The second place prize of $500 went to Francine Daveta, a photographer in New York who specializes in editorial and commercial portraiture.
Read the winning entries here.
This month's newsletter offers tips for thriving in 2009, a small business stimulus proposal from our CEO Andrew Field, and PFL's most recent green initiative.

Small Business Boost
Tired of the current economy's effect on his small business customers nationwide, Andrew Field, Founder and CEO of PFL, took action. Field developed a small business stimulus proposal and sent it to U.S. Senator Max Baucus from Montana, chair of the Senate Finance Committee. Struck by its originality, Forbes.com featured the plan on its home page. Read the proposal
here, and tell us what you think below. |
