Most small business owners believe that the only way for them to achieve business growth is to get more customers. Yes, this is absolutely one way, however, it’s very expensive to all your resources and effort into generating new clients for business growth.

Many small business owners take this approach and tend to neglect another area that can greatly contribute to business growth. And this is your existing clients. Retaining existing clients has a big impact on business growth, so let’s take a look at how small business owners can grow their business – fast with this strategy!

You see, the fastest way to increase sales for small business owners is to target a group that already trusts you, your products and services, or have allowed you to market to them.

Who are these people? They are your existing database!!!

 

Here are some tips small business owners can follow to help re-engage your existing customers and leads:

 

SPECIAL OFFERS

It’s easier and more cost-effective to get persuade people who are already buying from you to buy more rather than to find new customers and tell them to buy from you.

An email campaign offering them a discount for being on your mailing list is a great motivation for past customers to do business with you again.

 

LOYALTY PROGRAMMES

Did you know that, ‘Nearly 80% of consumers said it took at least three purchases for them to consider themselves loyal and 37% said they weren’t loyal until they had made at least five purchases (Yotpo). Making your existing customers buy several times from you whilst providing excellent customer service will definitely give you business growth.
