I´d be great if all companies, once in a while, really listen to their customer to build their estrategies. Fantastic point of view (customer´s point of view).

That's the best way to build loyal customers, those people who feel as if they are in part owners of the company. Have you seen the Dell idea storm website. A great concept, similar to Digg but for customer ideas. great post, to me encouraging people to give you their ideas not only helps you to build a product people want, but those people who helped now know they helped build the product and company.

I like that suggestion. I know designers don't like "help" so I'm not suggesting they really help with the design as much as give input - that you may take to heart or not - about how it impacts them. Does it do what you need it to do? Angie, Rants allowed but why not add accounting to the list – maybe your clients could help you discover what you should measure and track financially.

You wouldn't ask them to "help" with your accounting. I hope. OK, rant over. :) There is no better way to make your graphic designer or ad agency totally crazy, and get inferior work, than to let your friends and customers “help” with the design.
