As the Client Relations Coordinator at Discount Office Services, my main task was customer retention by driving and increasing sales among current customers. They had previously been experiencing a high customer turn-over rate due to increasing competition from big box retailers, and I helped increase the retention rate through customer visits, an emphasis on better customer service, and implementing newsletters with company updates and promotions. I helped increase sales within current customer accounts by increasing complementary category sales and encouraging single-sourcing with a new inventorying service. I was also in charge of marketing efforts and designed sales flyers and the newsletter, and ran the social media marketing for the company. In addition, I was a key member of the team that led a re-branding strategy meant to give the 20-year-old company a fresh, new look.
