If you're a blogger, website owner, or product creator, you've probably wondered how you can keep customers coming back to you again and again. The only way to grow your business is to keep current customers coming back while you gain new customers. If you're not retaining customers and getting repeat business, there's no way your business will grow over time. There's no cookie cutter plan to retain customers, but there are some proven methods you can try. If you're lacking in any of these areas, be honest with yourself and figure out ways you can improve.
Make it easy to buy from you. - Make sure your buying process is easy for your customers. Is your website designed well? Is your ordering process easy or do your customers have to jump through hoops? If you're not sure, test your process and also get others to try your purchasing process. What can be done to make it easier for your customer? Would you buy from you again? If your customer feels like too much of their time is being spent on purchasing your product, they won't do it again even if they're happy with your product.
Understand your customer. - Who are you selling to? Who are you trying to help? What is your ideal customer like and what do they need? If you don't know who you're selling to, you will not be successful. If you haven't already, create an ideal customer model for your product or service. Get to know your target market and find out what they need so you can create it for them.
Keep customers excited about your brand. - Is your brand stagnant or is it fresh? If you've neglected your social media or you've quit sending emails, you'll want to touch base with your customers again. You can do this by offering discount services for a short amount of time. You can also send prior customers a free gift. Once you've made contact again, you can start building excitement about your brand. Talk about what you're doing in your business. Let customers know what you're working on. Find a way to connect with your customers and build excitement about your brand.
Over deliver.- When providing a service or product, try to over deliver. If you're tasked with writing 500 words, write 600 and charge for 500. If your customer buys an ebook, send the ebook and a surprise worksheet to go with it. If you are selling an article bundle, give your customer a free report or an extra article. Find a way to surprise your customers and show them that you appreciate them choosing you.
Create new products or new content. - If you're not getting repeat customers, create a new product or write some new content. Give your customers a reason to come back.
If you're going to grow your business, you'll want to learn how to keep your customers buying from you over and over again. It's not always easy to get return customers, but if you follow the tips above it will be easier to do so. Make sure you're creating what your customers want, providing them with excellent quality, and over deliver when you can. If your customers are happy, they'll return for more.
