When customers are happy with your products and services and with your level of customer support, they are more likely to want to continue to buy from you. They are also more likely to become brand advocates who will help you to promote your company. Here are some ways to keep your customers satisfied.
Get Feedback from Your Customers
One of the most effective ways to keep customers happy is to get their feedback on what you offer and on customer support. Find out what they would like to see improved or added to what you currently offer. For example, they might want a product to include a new feature that would make it easier to use. They might also want improved customer service, such as fewer wait times.
Follow-Through
Follow through on the promises that you make to your customers and have a fast turnaround time. Let customers know when they can expect to hear back from you.
Be Mindful of the Customer’s Time
Everyone values their time because it is limited. So be sure to make products and systems as efficient as possible for customers so that they won’t feel like their time has been wasted. Training your team members to be very knowledgeable about what you offer is one way of saving customers time. Another way is by including many resources on your website where customers can find information without even needing to call customer support.
Give Thanks to Your Customers
Thanking your customers regularly is one of the best ways to show that you value their business and that you appreciate them for staying with you. After all, they have other choices that they could be going with. You can thank them by doing something extra for them such as giving them a gift, extra customer points, or money back.
Be Personable with Customers
Being personable with your customers will make your company come across as friendly and easy to deal with. Even big brands use this strategy. One example is Starbucks. They always ask for the name of the customer when getting them their order. Smiling at customers is another great way to convey friendliness. A smile can even come across in a phone call.
