Strategies that Get More Customers Faster to Your Small Business
Infusionsoft Helps You Do the Trick
When it comes to running a small business, time is always an essence. You want everything faster: product delivery, responses to customers, fixing internal processes and of course, getting fresh customers.
More customers simply mean better return on investment and promises better market reach. You might have tried a traditional strategy or two. While it won’t hurt to follow what the majority said would work, how about trying out these ones that guarantee will work. They’re quirky and bold, but they’re worth all your effort.
Stop looking for new customers
Say, what? Yes, STOP LOOKING FOR NEW CUSTOMERS and get more connected with your existing ones. Do you know that it is possible to make loyal customers out of your previous buyers? The formula is very simple: customers’ loyalty equals more repeat sales. You just need the right strategies.
Maybe they just need nurturing to revive their interest on your products. Perhaps they’ve lost the connection with your brand because you didn’t get in touch after they bought something from you. Or, it could be that you don’t have special promotions dedicated exclusively to your existing customers.
Here are some things you can try to make these customers stick around.
- On Holidays, make them feel extra special by giving exclusive deals, discounts and offers.
- Referrals are pots of rare gold. Ask your existing customers to refer their friends and in return, they’ll get an incentive for it.
- For a customer’s specific day, say birthday, send out discount coupons or birthday freebies to them
- Time-essential giveaways such as Mother’s Day specials for mothers. Infusionsoft lets you group people so you can target effectively for occasions like this.
Think of something surprisingly quirky and unexpected that will make your existing customers fall in love with your products all over again.
Ask your customers what they want and don’t want
Survey your customers to get insights and ideas that can help you understand them better. Gather feedback from services and products. Measure customer satisfaction. For example, after a customer has spoken to your representative, the customer can have an option to do a quick satisfactory rating by ranking the customer service.
