Customers who come back and recommend you
Getting a new customer costs much more than getting an existing one to come back. And a happy customer brings others for free.
Getting them back
- Reminders: “It’s been 4 weeks since your last cut”, “Your car service is due”.
- Customer list (with permission) on WhatsApp or email: news, offers for customers.
- Loyalty card or perks for regulars.
- Subscriptions or packs: monthly maintenance, a pack of 5 sessions.
Getting recommended
- Ask for reviews right when the customer is happy.
- Referral scheme: a discount for the person who recommends and for the new customer.
- Go beyond what’s expected now and then: a small gift, a follow-up, free advice.
If 100 customers come back 2 more times a year thanks to a reminder, and each visit leaves you €15, that’s €3,000 more a year. With no ads.
