Top 10 Ways To Create A Hot Customer Loyalty Program

Having loyal customers is highly important in many businesses today. Repeat business can make the world go around as well as the highly profitable word of mouth advertising. Face it, if your customers are telling others about the great experience that they had with you then you are going to get some customers that did not cost you a dime in advertising costs. But the question is, how does one build top notch customer loyalty?

The main focus of such a discussion is how to improve the experience that your customers have with your company. Only a happy customer will be a return or loyal customer. If you can keep them happy then you can keep them coming back.

• The number one way to create a loyal customer base is to ensure that the customers are happy. This means that your employees are performing their job to the best of their ability no matter what.

• Offer the best deals in town for your customers and they will come back again and again. Use the fast nickel slow dime theory.

• Have an ironclad return policy that will make them feel confident.

• Offer the best possible warranty to ensure that they know they are getting a quality product.

• Offer only the highest quality products available.

• Increase the level of customer service availability to increase the customers awareness that you stand behind the products.

• Be visible to them. When the owner and operator is approachable customers will come back.

• Encourage employees to go that extra mile with the customers.

• Offer deals to repeat customers.

• Use a customer loyalty program.

Use of a customer loyalty program is one of the best ways to ensure repeat business. One of the best and most successful programs in force today is using free vacation packages.

The fact is that travel is more expensive now then it ever has been. Over the years the cost of travel has hit the economy hard and many people are staying home because they can no longer afford such things. Well that time is over.

As a business owner you can use paid travel vouchers as a customer loyalty program reward. Those customers who frequent the company can earn points that will lead to a free vacation to many destinations around the country. Best of all it will not cost you an arm and a leg.

Companies all over the country provide business owners with a viable resource in travel vouchers. Rather then buying a single all inclusive package, the owner can purchase a block of vouchers and offer them as rewards. This system has proved well with the companies who have implemented it and has shown to increase customer loyalty by over fifty percent when used properly.

There is also the matter that profits will greatly increase as the word will spread. When you reward a loyal customer with a vacation then they will in turn tell others about your company. This means that you will be getting some very cheap advertising just for making your loyal customers feel special.

Are your sales where you want them to be? Will you be one of the few who achieves sales or business success or one of the many who have failed to change? Are you tired of being told you are like everyone else? Then you may find my first book on sales of interest. Be the Red Jacket in the Sea of Gray Suits, The Keys to Unlocking Sales available at Amazon or at http://www.processspecialist.com/red-jacket.htm. This book is a reflection of my no-nonsense approach to improving sales to overall business results. If you are truly committed to making sustainable changes, then I can help you secure a positive return on your investment because I focus on executable solutions not telling you the problems you already know you have. From training to corporate (group) coaching to executive one on one coaching, my approach is to assess, create awareness, build a goal driven action plan and then execute. The bottom line question is "Not do you or your employees know it, but do you or they want to do it?" Please call for a free strategy session at 219.759.5601. - Visit Leanne Hoagland-Smith's Website

Bernard Reber
Back in late 1992, MS Access hit the streets. About that time the company I managed needed new software to handle their growing client base and I decided to try this new product. I had little difficulty writing and adapting a database to suit us and discovered a hidden talent for programming. A business was born. With business studies and 25 years of management experience in three different countries under my belt, I could offer a unique combination of skills and my customers agreed. From these humble beginnings my software 'invoiceit' emerged in 1999 and has since been taken to 49 states (hello Wyoming, won't you join us?), all across Canada and more than 70 other countries. From the very beginning the program included cashbook accounting, the simplest form of keeping financial business records. The Dictionary.com defines 'cashbook' as "A 'book' in which to record money received and paid out". For 'book' substitute 'simple software' and that's what I'm about. Now I have published Simple Accounting, an inexpensive spreadsheet solution which even you can master. For just $14.95 it costs less than a takeout meal!
