Reward Someone Just for Coming in

The biggest challenge with most marketing is initially getting a person into your store. Making that first step is going to be the biggest hurdle to cross, and once you're over it, you'll be in a much better position to get them to keep coming.

After all, once they enter your business or use your services they'll understand how good they are and be more inclined to keep coming back to you.

What can you do to cross that large hurdle of the first visit?

There are a variety of ways, especially if you have the customer in mind. Too often a company is thinking more about themselves than their customers, and their marketing reflects it. I get the impression that a company wants me to give them money more than they want to make me happy, and as soon as I start thinking that, I begin to lose interest in ever giving them a chance.

Custom greeting cards give you a chance to avoid that mentality, and give people something a little more unique.

Think about this: many companies have programs set up to help reward loyal customers by giving them special deals and other things like that. Well, why not do just the opposite as well, and reward your first time customers?

These are people who took the time to give your company a chance when they really didn't have to. Of all the businesses to choose from they picked yours and gave you an opportunity to show them just how effective you are. Reward them for giving you that honor with special deals.

I recently started up service with NetFlicks. Why did I do it? Because they offered me fifteen days for free so I could get a feel for the service and get to know what it was capable of. After those fifteen days I was completely hooked, and loved not having to go out anymore to get my movies from a store when I could have them mailed right to my door.

Would I have tried them without this free offer? I found that doubtful. This is what you can do with those custom greeting cards. Mail them to people inviting them to come into your store, and tell them what deal you'll give them if they do.

Start off your relationship with your customers on the right foot with good deals. From the very beginning you'll be in a prime position to show them what you can do for them, because you've already started to give them great deals.

Before a person sets foot in your store you should show them how much you care about their business. Keep on rewarding your loyal customers, but be sure not to overlook your new customers while you're doing it. In the end you can set up a system where people understand just how much you care about your customers no matter how long they've been shopping with you, and you're always prepared to do your best for them.
