Treat Your Customers Like a Community
Your buyers are your best advocates. Start acting like it.
Too many brands see customers as transactions, not people. That’s a miss. If someone gives you their attention (and their dollars), you’ve earned the right to keep showing up for them and with them.
The best brands don’t stop at the sale. They invite customers into something bigger. They spotlight their wins. They ask questions. They create space to connect.
Think less audience, more community. Less billboard, more campfire.
If you’re not making it easy for your people to engage, share, and feel seen, you’re leaving serious loyalty on the table.
Try this:
Feature one customer a week on your socials or in your email. Show the real people behind the purchases.
Ask your customers for advice on products, content, or direction. People support what they help build.
Community doesn’t start with a Slack group or a Discord server. It starts with treating your customers like they matter beyond the receipt.

Your New Favorite Sidekick
Perplexity is like ChatGPT with a search engine built in. It pulls real-time info from the web, cites its sources, and gives you clear, accurate answers fast. Whether you’re writing, researching, or just trying to make sense of a messy topic, it’s one of the smartest tools out there.
Use it to prep for client calls, break down complex trends, or finally understand WTF is going on in your industry.
