Are you following up your existing customer base?

Do you have a way of enticing your hard fought customers into coming back more often?



Are you capitalizing on the database you already worked so hard to establish?
What is typed onto the cash register receipts you hand to your existing customers?

Change your cash register and credit card terminal receipt to
read, "For Preferred Customer Discounts Sign Up At: (your
website)
"

This strategy is awesome because it does two major jobs when it
comes to marketing.

1. It captures all your current customers because everybody
reads their receipt, and everybody wants to be a preferred
customer to get discounts. It also captures all walk in traffic that
actually BUY something. Which leads us to:

2. A list of nothing but BUYERS of YOUR product. No tirekickers or
browsers, buyers only!

Now you've made a client for life and there are tons of other
methods to help them, and generate a great living for you as
well.


Studies show that most people do NOT buy the first time they surf for and find a company website.

It takes up to seven visits to get someone to get off their duff and get out their credit card or pick up the phone to call a local business.


Put yourself in the place of your intended customer:

  • The baby is crying

  • The dishes have still not been done

  • The husband still did not pick up his socks from the bedroom floor


  • And the phone is ringing...

    OK they found your site, but they may not have time to read it all!



    So what do you want them to do now that they found you?

    Just let them close the browser window or click away to surf another topic of interest to them?

    NO


    What you want them to do is to get on your mailing list.

    Then you can 'work on em' over time, at the very least they won't be able to easily forget about your product/ service.

    Not very easily... they ASKED you to send them more information, didn't they?
