1. Reward and retain your existing customers.
Giving something back to your best customers has become a competitive necessity in certain industries.
It’s cheaper, easier, and more effective to retain current customers than it is to acquire new ones. Studies have shown that it costs 6 to 7 times more to acquire a new customer than keep an old one.
2. Deselect Unprofitable Customers.
It can be more profitable to lose a bad customer, considering you are spending more to service them while you can gain new ones.
3. Win back lost customers.
Reaching and convincing lost customers to return can be difficult but is a greater chance to success than acquisition. Think about the advantages you have with lost customers that you don’t have with prospects. Simply put, you already know their buying habits. You have their past purchase history and you also know in what way they prefer to communicate with you.
4. Reduce promotional and advertising costs
Advertising based on segmentation of a loyalty database is highly targeted so you don’t have to spend your money on flyers that will be thrown away. Moreover, Loyalty use online promotion ( email marketing, Social Media, Applications etc) where obviously costs are lower.
5. Your Loyal Customers is your Best Costumers
