MenuCan you make a customer loyal and repeat patronage?
This question has no further details.
Answers
This is a broad question. You can gain customer loyalty and repeat patronage, but it takes much more than a marketing strategy. Customers want a positive experience, get a high-quality product/service, and pay a fair price. The customer experience starts at the first touch point and ends with the receipt and satisfaction of the product/service. Using a Design Thinking approach, you can understand the customer's persona, create an easy and positive customer process, develop the right product/service, and deliver exceptional quality and value from the customer's perspective. If you have any follow-up questions, we can schedule a call to discuss.
Yes, absolutely! It’s all about passion and positivity. Give coupons, offer other services they weren’t aware of. And treat them like a friend!! That’s a huge one. I know this because I worked a job that involved making commission on selling packages and I stayed in the high 90’s percentile.
Yes, you can build customer loyalty and encourage repeat patronage by providing excellent service, offering rewards, personalizing interactions, seeking feedback, and delivering consistent quality.
mi perro se llama bruno, y yo le compro su comida todas las semanas, siempre iba al lugar mas cercano, los precios eran los mismos, era la misma marca, así que me daba igual comprarlo aquí o allá, pero un día fui a un lugar donde nunca había comprado, llegue normal hice mi compra y me fui, la semana siguiente estaba cerca del lugar y volví a pasar, cuando estaba en la caja la chica introduce mis datos y me dice que bueno tenerla de vuelta, y yo ok gracias. Sorprendida…y ella va que me dice….como esta su cachorro? eso me impacto tanto que le dije: bruno? ahh genial en casa destruyendo todo a su paso jaja y me reí, pues resulta que cuando ya me estaba retirando del lugar se me acerca el portero y me entrega un hueso, si un hueso y me dice, tome llévele a bruno! que? dije yo! digale que es un regalo nuestro, pues adivina que? bruno ya va para 2 años y no compro su comida que no sea en ese lugar… entonces tu me dirás, marca o no la diferencia conocer los detalles de tu cliente, cuanto crees que invirtió esa tienda en retenerme durante estos 2 últimos años? y cuanto cuesta un hueso? hazte esa pregunta.. cuanto cuesta un hueso?.
My dog's name is Bruno, and I buy his food every week, I always went to the nearest place, the prices were the same, it was the same brand, so I didn't care if I bought it here or there, but one day I went to a place where I had never bought, I arrived, made my purchase and left, the following week I was near the place and I passed by again, when I was at the checkout the girl enters my information and tells me how good it is to have her back, and I ok, thank you . Surprised...and she tells me...how is her puppy? That impacted me so much that I said: Bruno? ahh great at home destroying everything in its path haha and I laughed, because it turns out that when I was already leaving the place the doorman approaches me and hands me a bone, yes a bone and tells me, here, take him to Bruno! that? I said! Tell him it's a gift from us, well guess what? Bruno has been going for 2 years and I don't buy his food other than in that place... so you tell me, does it make a difference or not knowing the details of your client, how much do you think that store invested in retaining me during these last 2 years? And how much does a bone cost? Ask yourself that question... how much does a bone cost?

How to promote a paid iOS app to increase downloads ?
Your best bet to get traction quickly in USA is to advertise on mobile ad networks. You may need to advertise on CPM/CPC basis instead of CPI if you have a paid app so make sure you understand your user lifetime value and watch conversion rates closely so you don't overspend. That said, depending on what your niche/vertical is, there are many other ways to market non-gaming apps.SR

How can I go about finding a business partner for my startup?
Hello! Aside from the typical website platforms, I would recommend using Twitter's hashtags and user handles. Try following and using the ones that your potential prospect or otherwise ideal partners would be following and start sharing about your work, your progress, and outreach for a potential partner. If possible try to be local when doing so. But obviously, some to use include Startups.co, Basecamp, Inc 500, yesPHX, BetaBulls, MPV, Lean Startup, Lean Methodologies, TechCrunch, etc.HV

How do you get your first customers for a consulting business?
Back when I started LinkedIn wasn't as huge as it is now. I wish it was. I didn't have a large network and those networking sessions NEVER brought me any clients. I used to go to all sorts of them hoping to get clients. There were a couple of nibbles here and there, but never anything serious. The only thing that helped was reaching out DIRECTLY to people in my target market. That meant cold calls and cold emails. I'd sell myself while thinking about their needs. Once I got a few bites I'd build good rapport by keeping in touch, asking questions, repeating back what they were saying so that they knew I was on the same page and kept my promises. If I said I'd call them back next Tuesday at 2:15 I'd do so. Eventually I built trust with them without having a network, or an insane amount of experience. Oh and the most important thing about consulting is to LISTEN. When those first clients notice that you're truly listening and you're not selling the cookie cutter solutions everyone else is trying to sell them that's when you got them hooked. You start to understand their problems, fears, and see through their eyes and not just yours. A network will help, but in the beginning just good 'ol salesmanship will get the ball rolling.JC

I just opened a small, upscale, boutique style hair salon. Any ideas on how to market?
I have no experience with salons, but marketing is my thing. So I'll give you some suggestions of what to think about, followed by what to do. Do you have clients already (let's say from your working days at another salon)? If so, you can start profiling them. You can ask them to fill out a form in exchange for a free gift (maybe one of those creams you use in the salon), or an entry to a raffle (where the prize is valuable). In the profiling, you want to look out for which neighborhoods they live in, what kinds of activities they like to do, what kinds of social events they love to do, and their occupations. Then, using each of those profile data, you can market to more prospects who share the same characteristics. For example, - You can set aside a budget to send flyers to specific neighborhoods. In order to get people into the door, maybe you can offer a certain procedure for free in exchange for opportunities to win new regular customers. (You could theoretically do this with Groupon too, but you have less control of who comes into your door) - You could set up joint venture relationships with organizations like ball room dancing schools, professional associations, etc. You could offer an exclusive discount with those groups to entice potential customers to try out your service. More opportunities for you to win regular customers. - With certain demographic data, you can probably make the same offer by advertising on Facebook. If you target specific enough, you can get the price of acquiring the lead to be pretty cheap. You would have to figure out your typical lifetime value of your customers before deciding whether advertising on Facebook would be worthwhile. One last thing, you can offer gifts for your existing customers if they refer you people. If you have any more questions, I'm happy to chat with you. Hit me up on this platform.SL
