They all buy. Only some return time and again

They all buy. Only some return time and again

Too many retailers focus on new Customers and, thus, pay zero attention to repeat customers. How often you pamper your repeat customer with birthday or anniversary greeting or send them emails and sms on festive seasons? Have you ever differentiate between a regular customer and countless flying purchasers.

Retailers normally run special events or offer discounts to attract new customers. But they forget that they are seasonal. They will immediately switch to the stores those are offering similar or more lucrative offers and events. Whereas, the repeat customers will buy the entire range of merchandise you offer and, thus, helps you in achieving your goals.

Here are a few suggestions to maintain good relation with regular Customers:

1. Create a detailed database of your Customers and make use of them to wish them on birthdays and anniversaries or sending them festive cards.
2. Arrange special promotions or events for them like discount or extended shopping hours.
3. Make use of some good frequent shopper program or loyalty program and privilege them in form of different transcripts.
4. Communicate with them on regular intervals for exchanging ideas. Customers are often impressed when they receive “friendship” instead of “sales pitch”.
5. Do not reward new customers for the sake of existing repeat customers. Run schemes, promotions and offers in such a fashion that it gives benefits to both new and existing customers and tempt new customers to become a repeat customer.

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
