It’s a great cycle…when it works.

But what happens when a client doesn’t return to an ad agency? After you’ve gone the extra mile in market research and made impeccable placements, you’re right to expect client retention. But there’s something insidious that can be working against you, even with your best advertising plan in place—your client’s own customer service.

Remember, your advertising strategy brings customers to the top of the funnel. But your client’s company has to seal the deal. Without their competence in sales or hospitality, your ad spend will be nullified. And the client will mistakenly look at you. But they’ll look at you nonetheless.

You’ll face all of the blame and lose all of the returns. Unless you safeguard your strategy.
