7 Unique Ways To Boost Customer Retention Effectively
by Priya Jain Business ConsultantSummary: The ultimate goal of any business is to attract
customers and retain them.
The foundation of growth and success for every
business is staying relevant to their customers, and companies always try to
focus on this. Attracting customers is critical for any business. However,
their ultimate goal is to get those customers to return and become regular
buyers.
Attracting a customer is one thing, but ensuring
that they keep returning and stay loyal to your product or service can be
challenging. This may seem like a challenge, but some unique methods can be
used to retain your customers even more effectively.
Through effective marketing and other actions as
well, you can turn a first-time buyer into a loyal fan of your brand. You can
also work along with a business coach who can guide you
with his expertise to come up with unique ideas to increase customer loyalty.
Here are seven unique methods that you can use to
retain your customers:
1. Keep Communications
Transparent
Honesty, openness, and vulnerability- are the
factors that hold a lot of significance to customers. They want to do business
transactions or deal with brands that set realistic expectations and exceed
them almost every time. In case they don`t, they take steps to make it better
when that happens. Customers truly want to deal with businesses that are
transparent about their humanness.
2. Focus on Building
Relationships with Customers
Customer relationships are the foundation of
customer retention. To build relationships with customers means investing time
in understanding their needs, requirements, concerns, their experience with a
product or service. A business coach with relevant
industry experience can help you to build stronger relationships with your
customers.
How you treat a customer before and after he or she
purchases your product or service demonstrates who you are. It helps to
strengthen your relationship with the customer.
3. Ensure Excellent Customer
Experience
If you want to retain your customers, focusing on
providing a high-quality customer experience, which translates to providing a
service that far exceeds their expectations, can work in your company’s favor.
To ensure you are giving your customers nothing but the best, give them quality
service or products that are above and beyond their expectations.
4. Interact With Your Customers
via Social Media
Today, your target customer is present on social
media. Social media platforms have emerged as a boon for marketers and
advertisers as they provide easy access and wider exposure to reach out to
their consumers firsthand. So, why not engage with them?
Engaging with your customers online via social
media is a great way to keep them engaged with your brand as well as remind
them that you’re “there” to be of service.
5. Make Your Customers Trust You
People want to associate with a brand that is
honest and has its customers’ best interests at heart. Keep your communications
clear across all the platforms of your marketing touch-points. This means
following all legal and generally accepted safety protocols. Keep a tab on
public sentiment to understand what is working and what needs to be updated.
6. Lead with Compassion
Empathizing with your customers once they have
purchased your product or service is a great way to solidify your relationship
with consumers. Reach out to your existing users to hear how they’ve been
affected. If you understand their concerns, you are well-equipped to solve
their immediate needs.
7. Make Your Customer Feel
Special
People remember how you make them feel. So make
your customers feel valued, appreciated, and important. People crave
connection, so make your customers feel valued, appreciated, and important by
tapping into the good feeling that your product or service creates for
customers. Invest the time to make it personal and create a customer
environment that allows them to have a sense of belonging.
We often receive hundreds of emails from brands
sending us a link to click on. But how many of us open those emails? Instead of
trying to stay on top of mind by sending the same email that other companies
are sending, send an email telling a story about your company and what you are
up to.
Don’t sell. Don’t market. Just create a bond with
your customers and lead with compassion.
