One of the important elements of establishing effective business communication is forming a circle of clients and building trusting relationships with them. In today’s environment, it becomes a sign of a business that carries values, and this directly affects profitability. Features of modern business communications are defined, methods of correspondence with clients in social networks, messengers and e-mail are characterized. The importance of correspondence as a form of business communication between clients and company representatives is outlined.

Statistics of interaction and consumer reactions from market analysts are considered, they formulate recommendations for improving communication strategies and are unanimous in the fact that customers need the most personalized approach. Most consumers would like brands to offer personal correspondence as a communication option, and be­lieve that direct messaging makes the process of purchasing a product or service easier.

The global and Ukrainian services market faces very similar communication challenges. Skilful, unobtrusive communication with the client, apt wording and the use of “win-win” tactics will help to communicate more effectively at any level of business relations. The use of word-markers, which emphasize the key features of the business proposal and contain useful information, have more chances to increase the attention of the recipients and bring the communication to a successful result. Personal correspondence with clients in social networks is analysed on examples. Successful and unsuccessful methods of communication are determined based on the logic of the conversation, taking into account the needs of customers, the peculiarities of word usage, the effectiveness of achieving goals, transmitting useful information and receiving feedback. The importance of sincerity and proper psychological adjustment when communicating with clients is also determined.

Keywords: business communications, digital technologies, personal correspondence, communication with the client, the value of communication.
