A few decent ideas, but I was a bit disappointed.

This post definitely reflects the old idea of constantly pushing a marketing message. How about this tip:

Listen to what people have to say, what they want, what they need. Then help them. I think the most recent example of this is Vitamin Water including their customers in the creation of a new product. They simply listened to their customers and will no doubt profit heavily from sales - all because they reached out and listened...

I like "Turn your customers into stars." No one can tell your story better than a satisfied customer.
