Surprise Your Existing Customers To Retain Them

Some Simple Techniques

 

 

Small gestures can help turn your new clients into regulars.

You can surprise your best customers, for example, by

  • visiting them and hand delivering items

  • sending them something they have tweeted

  • giving them random rewards without them expecting it.

Communicate appreciation to  your customers when they least expect it. Most businesses send holiday cards. It's a common practice that would set you apart. How could your business stand out?

Creative small business owners look for other times of the year to communicate appreciation. One person sends all of her clients thank-you notes on Thanksgiving. Another firm decided to send bottles of wine to clients on Valentine's Day with a note, "We love our clients."1

You can also send surprise gifts to your prospective customers. For instance, The Mind-Body Training Company gives their mailing list subscribers a free Video training on Thanksgiving. The video training  helps people release any beliefs that are blocking them from having wealth in their life.
