In such a case, look from "attracting customers" to "customers" to check if measures for existing customers have been neglected.

It is difficult for many customers to return without doing anything, and to acquire repeater, customer tension (measures for maintaining customers) to nurture strong relationships with customers is an important issue.

What measures are effective depends on the store and brand.

It is a good idea to focus on how to value existing customers in your store and take measures in line with the concept of the store and brand. ƒ

1. Promote new customers to register account

By creating an opportunity for your customer to register an account, you can send out the checkout process at the next purchase and send marketing emails to customers who have registered.

Shopify allows you to set your customer account as an option. If you need to make an account, it is expected that the hurdle to purchase will rise and many customers will leave at the time of check -out, so we recommend that you do it.

2. Send regular emails

Customers who have purchased a product and have permission to distribute email distribution are interested, so actively approach by e -mail (or SMS).

If the frequency of imposing and distribution of products that are not interested is too high, the subscription may be canceled.

It is preferable to send a personalized email so that you can deliver useful information when you need it from a customer perspective.

3. Providing incentives and royalty programs

By adding points and ranking up by purchasing or logging in, you can expect to improve the regression rate. The method of lowering the hurdle of the first order is to distribute coupons that can be used immediately in e -mail magazine subscriptions, but even in the same incentive, if the customer registers a welcome point when registered in the royalty program, it is better. We can encourage continuous use.

Once the royalty program is introduced, there is a risk of trust loss when it is terminated, so be careful when introducing it. Considering the resources and cost balance with other marketing strategies, it is a good idea to consider from a medium- to long -term perspective.

SHOPIFY has several loyalty program apps. Choose the best app for the program and language used for the store.
