One of the most important things you can do to retain customers is to provide them with exceptional customer service. This means always putting the customer first, being responsive to their needs, and going above and beyond to meet their expectations.

Another key to customer retention is to keep your customers engaged with your brand. You can do this by regularly sending them updates about new products, services, or promotions. You can also stay in touch with them through social media and email marketing.

The best customer retention strategies are formed around business goals and insights. Knowing what your goals are will help you pick the right strategy for your business. Let's look at the best strategies that work and can boost your retention stats.

Surprise Gifts and Discounts​

Consumers are individuals, and people enjoy being recognized. Through unexpected gifts and discounts, you may express your gratitude to your clients. Along with a succinct note from the customer support staff explaining why they are getting the surprise, you can offer them a discount on things they usually buy. The precise phrasing of the message will depend on the brand and writing style of your business, but it must be very apparent that they are receiving this discount due to being a devoted customer.

Provide Excellent Customer Service​

At first sight, this could seem a little apparent, but you must remember that what a firm deems outstanding customer service may not always coincide with what the consumer views to be excellent customer service. There is frequently a big perceptual difference. In fact, just 30% of customers agree that a firm is customer-centric, despite almost 75% of organizations believing they are. According to a 2017 study, eight out of ten customers are so irritated by this that they would actually pay more for a better experience.

Keep Customers Informed​

By keeping customers informed about new developments, such as new product lines, new alliances, or important milestones for the firm, you may make them feel like they are a part of your larger team. This can be accomplished by emailing a monthly newsletter.

Customer Onboarding​

The goal of onboarding varies depending on your company's market niche, but it is to inform a customer about your goods and your reputation. The customer could feel ignored if you are too silent, so you don't want to overwhelm them with a wall of text outlining your company's philosophy. When a customer purchases one of your items, you can send them an email with a brief guide on how to use it and the contact information for the customer support staff so they will know who to contact in the event of any problems.

Customer Surveys​

To learn more about what is and isn't working, send your consumers a brief online survey to complete. Even if you can't satisfy every consumer on every issue, surveys might reveal trends you may have overlooked. In order to provide respondents the opportunity to express their thoughts more fully when necessary, a good survey should include both multiple-choice questions and free text answer options. Plan your survey distribution schedule: will you send it out every six months or only once a year?
