Remembering The Small Details

Did you know that something as simple as your email address can play a role in being offered a contract?

Your company should have a professional email address for marketing purposes. You should also do more than create a professional Gmail, Yahoo or other free email account. A company that has its own domain name email looks much less risky to a contracting officer, and can go a long way in keeping your offer in the running.

For this and other tips on marketing to the government, contact Lenora Leasure today at (814) 254-4022 or [email protected] to learn more.
