2. Customer Loyalty Reward Programme
If you want to retain your customers for a long, run a customer loyalty reward program. It will allow the sellers to give points to the customers once they fulfill the mentioned criteria.
You can ask your customers to refer to friends if they like the product, register on your site, and even ask the customers to promote you on social media handles if they loved the products. This can turn your seasonal shoppers to come to you even after the holiday season ends. 3. Personalize Email Marketing
You can use personalized email marketing to hold on to your customers and convince them to return to you. Let’s understand this with some highlights of email marketing campaigns
4. Shift Your Target with Customers Attitude
With the New Year’s arrival, customer minds change drastically. From food, beverages, clothes, and decor, they ultimately shift to high self-control levels and with a high esteem of changing themselves as a better person.
Now the change in strategy is needed; customers will buy those products that will help them in their new year’s resolutions.
Now what kind of products have chances to attract buyers: Products that facilitate cleanliness. Products that help in organizing. Products that provide productivity. Products that help in health enhancement.
Products that promote safety and protection. Here the image is showing examples for the products as mentioned above.
5. Additional Coupon and Rewards
Providing coupons, price drops, and rewards are considered as one of the best ways for customer retention. It happens a lot of times. If the customers don’t get any offers or coupons, they don’t buy and leave the cart instantly.
Don’t let this happen to you; add coupons, offers, slash prices to increase the customers even after the festive season. You can create a Win-Back offer for old customers. Free delivery for old customers can help with customer retention.
6. Follow Up and Feedback
If you ask your customers to follow up and give feedback, you are strengthening your relationship with them. As then, you will solve their issues and understand their perspective for the particular set of products and services. This will help you to retain your customers in the long run.
7. Advertising with a new perspective
Plan your advertisement according to your new strategy so that the customers get more aware of your offerings. Your advertising should be according to the products you are focusing on.
You can make customers aware of discounts, coupons, and other things you are offering on your website. Advertise and promote yourself well. Bring a new perspective this new year in your advertisement.
Hope these strategies help you in proper customer retention and gives you a spike in sales even after the festive season ends.
