Appreciation Marketing – A Must Read For Home Business Owners!
January 11, 2011 by Glyna Humm
Filed under Home Business
I recently found this awesome book that is truly the ultimate resource for getting your Appreciation Marketing on the right track.
If you own a business of any sort, then you need to have a plan in place for Appreciation Marketing. It is crucial to show your customers and prospects you appreciate and thank them for their business.
If you don’t take care of your customers and make them feel special – someone else will!
Please watch this quick video to get more information.

I hope you found this information helpful. Please let me know if you read the book and what you thought of it by leaving me a comment. I would also love to hear about ways you are using Appreciation Marketing in your life. As always, please feel free to share this with your friends if you enjoyed it.
To Your Success,
Good morning Glyna – Thank You! for the “book review” and reminder to show our gratitude as an integral part of our daily lives. I am grateful to you for always making me feel good with that smile of yours coming straight from your heart. May God bless you richly in 2011 !

Oh Bob – you are such a great person and I am so thankful to have met you here online. Thank you so much for the kind comment and Happy 2011 to you too!
Hi Glyna,
I take appreciation marketing long, long before a friend or prospect becomes a customer. I do my best to show my gratitude even when my friends and followers leave an intelligent comment on one of my video blog posts.
I absolutely love connecting, making new friendships, and leading by example as a positive, proactive and grateful person. I am especially grateful that I can include You as one of the people who had positive influence on my life and business.
Thanks so much,
David H. Paul

That is fantastic David! I wish more people would follow your lead and make an effort to show gratitude and appreciation. Thank you so much for the kind words:)
Hi Glyna Everything that you said towards appreciating your life and what you already have is so true. To me it is not about all the wealth that I can receive but all that I can give not only to make my life better but to help others who are more in need than you and I are. Awesome video and keep up the good work!

Thank you Tony! I totally agree with you. It is so great to help other people and make a real difference in their life.
You said it girl!
Giving appreciation for any reason makes the world of difference. Glad to see you back in the swing here.
Those appreciation zappers won’t last too long1 So we’ll just keep on doing what we’re doing.
Have an awesome day Glyna,
Val 😉

Thanks Val!
Glyna,
Relationships, Relationships, Relationships. That’s the key to living a full life. Yes, we’ve all heard about appreciation marketing in one way or another but as you said we have to be reminded. It’s far too easy to take for granted all the people in our life and not to let them know how much they mean to use.
Obviously, it must be a good book filled with nuggets of Gold if you’ve read it twice. I know for me when I find a great book I read it more than once too. Thanks for the reminder. It’s a good thing to keep in the top of mind awareness as we move forward in the new year.

I think I will be reading that book over and over because you pick up different gold nuggets each time! Thanks Don!
What a great read. I’ve been through Tommy’s book several times. He is a very funny guy with super insights to our business. I like the statement he makes that he was so in awe of his wife that he didn’t pass wind for five years. Funny guy with a real message.

His sense of humor does crack me up and is another reason I love this book so much! Thanks Nelson!
What a great video and I have to agree with you. The relationship you build with your customers can last forever. I personally try to stay on top of that game because I know how important it is to my business.
Last thing left is a drive down to the bookstore and picking up your suggestion.
Can’t wait to read it, thanks for the recommendation.

Glyna,
This is a must read for anybody that works with others. I have used this concept for 27 years. You are truly a person that has always shown appreciation for others. Thats is one of the key points I like about you!

Oh – thank you so much Bill. I feel the same about you:) It looks like Appreciation Marketing has definitely served you well over the years!
Thanks for the suggestion, Glyna. It sounds like a great book! Appreciation is built in to the approach I take to my home business. For what is network marketing if it doesn’t start with building solid relationships?

Exactly! It is amazing to me how many people just don’t get it! Thanks Willena!
Glyna, what a refreshing message. This is a true life lesson. I don’t know why it is that people are ready to complain any minute of any day, but oftentimes forget to pass along the positives. Thanks for the reminder. Your point is well taken.

Hey Glyna,
Thanks for touching on this very important topic Appreciation Marketing and for your suggested reading, it definitely sounds like a great book.
Showing your appreciation towards your customers, business partners, family and friends is so vital to maintain healthy relationships and yet it is something that I think everyone can improve on.
Tomorrow why don’t we make it a goal to sincerely thank at least five people for making a difference in our life and show them how much their love or their friendship or their business means to us.
Thanks Glyna for putting this at the forefront.
Kevin
Glyna,
Great post and great video! Appreciation and gratitude are such keys to success in all areas of our lives. Marketing is about building relationships and that begins by acknowledging and appreciating our clients and prospective clients. It’s something I teach all couples that I counsel early on as well, as appreciation begins at home!
Thanks for sharing this,
Adam

Hi Glyna, loved your video. Thanks for the reminder to appreciate people. I did a relationship course once, and they suggested to write little post it notes to people in your family, telling them what you appreciate most about them! I have my note ready to write on as soon as I’m finished typing!
Have lots of fun Glyna, I love listening to you, you have a beautiful voice for video. bye for now, Julieanne

Hi Glyna ~ Enjoyed your video & couldn’t agree more…what you give out comes back to you ten-fold! For me, it’s all about YOU (meaning everyone else, not me) and it is so enriching to know that I can help someone even if it’s a little thing like showing my appreciation (which is actually a pretty big thing!). As always Glyna, I truly appreciate YOU sharing 🙂 Christine
