Let’s be honest, you run a business because you need money and you want to be independent, self-sufficient, and provide for your family. For most people, that’s all there is to it. You might enjoy the management aspect, providing jobs and providing excellent customer service, but when it all comes down to it, the most important aspect to owning and operating your own business is your income.
And there is nothing working with that. You shouldn’t feel guilty; you have worked hard for what you have, you pay your taxes and you are an upstanding member of society. But as many business owners before you will tell you, it can all be taken away in an instant. Why? Customers have gone somewhere else.
Customer retention is one of the most important aspects of business and must be a part of any strategy, especially in these uncertain and changing times. Many businesses offer a wide variety of customer retention schemes including loyalty and rewards cards, free services and discounts, and customer retention avenues such as these must be identified for various reasons.
Keep them Coming Back
Repeat customers and brand loyalty are the pinnacle achievement of any good business and your top paying customer, as well as those who spend the least, should all be treated as equals. Every customer should be made to feel like family, with incentives to return to your business in order to potentially spend more money.
Casino owners such as Jorge Hank Rhon are masters at identifying methods of getting customers to return which is why even in the world of online and computer gambling, their casinos still manage to motivate people to book a flight and spend money on a hotel in order to come and play in their establishment rather than on their phones.
Las Vegas has an excellent method of this, since they basically treat people to masses of free stuff, provide top-notch customer service, and basically make you feel like a king. Rhon and associates offer big game live sports events, famous live entertainment, and delicious food from world-class chefs; experiences that no online betting site can match.
Provide Opportunities for Employees
One of the greatest joys of owning and operating a business is the opportunity to provide a means of income for others. No matter what your business is, if you run it fairly and treat your employees well, they will love you for it, and that is where some of the more magical moments happen.
It isn't uncommon for loyal employees to become like family, especially to small business owners and you should do everything that you can to provide the best opportunities for your loyal and most trusted employees, as it could mean the world to them, their families, and ultimately reflects back onto the customer, meaning more business.
While no one is suggesting that you pay for an expensive college education for your employees, although this isn’t unheard of, you could provide better opportunities for your employees to improve themselves. Some employers actively engage with and motivate staff while others make time for any classes employees might have by amending schedules. Some will also reimburse a portion of college fees or provide learning resources on site.
