Let's examine a few scenarios that could play out if the marketing of a company was not kept quiet:Customers may switch to your competitors. Usually that is because customers don't like change. If there is going to be any changes made, your customers may want to be the ones making that decision. Or maybe they've only remained customers because of personal friendships maintained with the current business ownership. Sometimes customers are worried that the "chemistry" won't be right with a new owner, so they begin looking for a new supplier. And, don't forget that your competitors have probably been calling on your customers for some time, and this might just seem like the time to make a change.
