You make a sale and get a new customer – that has got to be good right? But do you know what is even better? It is when they come back the second, third and fourth time around to do business with you again.

Keep Your Customer Service Top Notch.

True, customer service will always make or break your business. Always seek to provide stellar service because this will benefit you in the long run and will encourage your clients to choose you over cheaper alternatives.

Admit Mistakes and Address Issues Immediately.

A study shows that 84% of customers will tell their friends (and even blog about) a negative experience with a certain business.
Admit the mistake and address the complaint as soon as possible – and your client will most likely remain loyal and tell their friends about the service.

Remember your clients and they will remember you.

Show your loyal clients that you remember them by sending personalized greeting cards.

Learn about your client’s needs.

One of the main reasons why clients stop availing certain services is because they no longer need them. People’s needs evolve over time, so you may also want to improve your products or services to cater to their new needs.

Keep them in the loop.

It is also good to keep your clients informed about new things going on in your business. Do you have new services? Have you updated your products?

These are simple things that you can do (most of them for free) to keep your customers happy and coming back to you.
