Do you run an online store? Do you understand what makes a company successful?

Customer satisfaction. When I say happy customers, I'm referring to those who like returning to your store for their shopping needs.

Advertising is becoming more expensive by the day, and finding new clients in this congested eCommerce business is quite difficult. As a result, you should concentrate on customer retention. A 5% increase in customer retention can enhance your business's profitability by 75%.

So, how can you keep your customers longer? In this article, I'll discuss 5 tried-and-true client retention tactics to help you increase sales at your eCommerce store.

1. Offer consumer loyalty programmes

According to Virtual Incentives, 75% of consumers prefer businesses that give incentives.

Your most effective promoters are your loyal and pleased clients. The most successful way to attract new consumers is by word of mouth. Your loyal consumers continue to buy from you and tell their friends and family about it.

How can you turn your satisfied consumers into brand advocates?

This is where customer loyalty programmes enter the picture.

Customers should be rewarded for their loyalty. Offer them coupons, discounted new products, a points system, or referral schemes. They will value it and feel more valuable as a result. The basic goal of these initiatives is to keep customers. These initiatives can assist you in converting new clients into long-term customers.

2. Include rewards in birthday emails

When someone wishes you a "happy birthday" and surprises you with a gift, how do you react?

It gives you a sense of exclusivity. Right?

What comes to mind first when I say the term "birthday"?

Parties, cakes, and gifts.

On their special day, everyone enjoys (and expects) surprises and gifts. You have a special relationship with your clients as an eCommerce owner. It is therefore your responsibility to make your consumer feel unique on his or her birthday.

What options do you have?

Send them a lovely, personalised email with an incentive like a free gift, free shipping, a coupon code, or other benefits. Send this email at least one week before their birthday so they have time to take advantage of the offer. It will be greatly appreciated.

Customers are 80 percent more inclined to conduct business with a company that provides individualised experiences.

Birthday emails are 481 percent more likely to be opened than advertising ones.

3. Offer a multichannel experience

We live in the "Customer Age." Customers today are digital customers. Customers may get instant information thanks to mobile devices, social media, the internet, and the web.

As a result, you must deliver an omnichannel or integrated experience for them. Do you know what omnichannel means?

The goal of omnichannel marketing is to engage your customers across all digital channels and devices.

They're moving swiftly across channels, from email to social media to the web, and across laptops, tablets, and smartphones, and they expect you to be there as well, delivering an integrated experience.

According to Google, 90 percent of shoppers never make a purchase on just one device. They take their time before purchasing.

A customer opens your email newsletter, then jumps to your social media page, then your website, then your toll-free number, and finally back to your email – all without losing momentum.

You can't afford to be somewhere other than where your customers are. Create the best plan for providing an omnichannel experience across all devices and channels. If you treat them well, they will look after your business.

4. Organise meetups and offline gatherings

Meetups and events are a terrific way to meet up with existing clients and attract new ones to your company. It will help you gain a deeper knowledge of your clients' needs and desires.

Face-to-face encounters are more valuable today than they were two years ago, according to 48% of event attendees.

Hosting in-person gatherings is a great way to build a stronger bond with your community.

5. Send handwritten notes

"The simple act of expressing 'thank you' demonstrates gratitude in response to a significant experience for a consumer."

So true!

The words "thank you" carry enormous power. What are some ways to express your gratitude?

Thank your loyal customers with a simple handwritten message or card. In this internet age, we all enjoy receiving real letters. It has the potential to have a significant impact on them, and they will value your perspective.

You might also go the extra mile and include a modest gift with your greeting. It'll brighten their day.

Consider this.
