Did you know that loyal customers purchase more frequently, have larger basket sizes, and are more receptive to upsells? It\u2019s no wonder two-thirds of most businesses\u2019 sales come from existing customers.[1]<\/a> Once you win those customers, you want to keep them!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are four steps to keeping your customers happy and engaged with you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Data changes \u2014 keep it up to date.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

How do you keep your customers engaged with targeted, relevant communications when their addresses are outdated and the rest of their data is incomplete? You can\u2019t. For example, do you know that Bud Jones replaced Stan Walker at ABC Manufacturing after Stan retired last month? Or that Susan Jones got married and is now Susan Becker? Regularly, take the time to make sure that your contacts\u2019 names, addresses, and preferences are accurate and up to date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Keep that data private.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Customers are willing to share personal information with their favorite brands in exchange for more relevant, targeted offers. Still, they also want to ensure their data is kept private. Assure your customers that you follow all applicable laws and that they can trust you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Keep their cross-channel experiences consistent.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

No matter how customers interact with you\u2014direct mail, email, mobile, and website\u2014ensure that your branding, messaging, and offers are consistent across all marketing channels you use. After all, more than half (61%) of buyers start shopping on one device and finish on another.[2]<\/a> Cross-channel consistency tells buyers that you are professional, trustworthy, and credible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Use segments to ensure that offers and messaging are targeted and relevant.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

While personalizing messaging, images, and offers to each recipient is the holy grail of marketing, you can deeply engage those recipients by grouping them into segments. This is where creating \u201cpersonas\u201d becomes so important. Think \u201cMillennial women climbing the corporate ladder\u201d or \u201csingle dads who work from home.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Customer loyalty is a powerful driver of business success, so focus on retaining these valuable relationships.
