Celebrate your customers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Everyone likes to be recognized for their contributions; your customers are no different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Feature a customer of the week or month &mdash; someone who has truly helped you grow your business &mdash; on your website, social media, or in your next <a href=\"https:\/\/www.constantcontact.com\/blog\/what-is-email-marketing\/\">email.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Put a sign up in your storefront or office highlighting that customer. The recognition will go a long way towards encouraging other customers who love your business to get more involved in your success as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here&rsquo;s a great example of how one business, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.makemyblinds.co.uk\/become-an-ambassador\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Make My Blinds<\/a>, keeps its loyal followers involved and engaged through their home-lovers club. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"385\" width=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.constantcontact.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/2022-07-06_18-45-58.png?w=600\" alt=\"reward loyal customers with a loyalty program or ambassador's club\" class=\"wp-image-148730\" style=\"width:449px;height:289px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.constantcontact.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/2022-07-06_18-45-58.png 1510w, https:\/\/www.constantcontact.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/2022-07-06_18-45-58.png?resize=300,193 300w, https:\/\/www.constantcontact.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/2022-07-06_18-45-58.png?resize=768,493 768w, https:\/\/www.constantcontact.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/2022-07-06_18-45-58.png?resize=600,385 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Having an ambassador program, like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.makemyblinds.co.uk\/become-an-ambassador\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Make My Blinds<\/a>, that provides perks like great commission rates, exclusive opportunities and discounts, as well as free products and other rewards,  creates a winning situation for both parties.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Reward loyal customers with an early-access program<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One way to reward loyal customers is to give them something exclusive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It could be giving them access to a new product that hasn&rsquo;t officially been launched to anyone else. Or it could be offering them some new service that&rsquo;s not open to the general public yet. Many tech companies, such as Google, offer consumers the opportunity to be part of a beta release of a product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Consider setting up a similar program where loyal customers can sign up to be the first to hear about new products and services. With email marketing software like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.constantcontact.com\/blog\/what-is-email-marketing\/\">Constant Contact<\/a>, you can create a separate email list for people who sign up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The simple act of making customers feel like they are part of something exclusive can be a big help in building trust and loyalty with your audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Ask for customer feedback<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Everyone appreciates being asked for their opinion. As fans of your business, your customers will provide you with informed opinions that could be helpful in determining a new service to release, a menu item to introduce, or a marketing tactic to try.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.constantcontact.com\/blog\/how-to-write-survey\/\">Send a survey<\/a> to your loyal customers to ask their opinion. Be sure to make it clear that you&rsquo;re asking them because they are such valued followers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You could even ask them a few questions in person or have a questionnaire ready for them to fill out the next time they visit your store. Whichever way you ask for feedback, make sure you&rsquo;re taking their input seriously. If they take the time to provide you with feedback, it&rsquo;s your responsibility to take their advice to heart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Invite customers to a special event<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Similar to giving customers first access to a new product, inviting customers to a special event can be a great way to spread some positive goodwill and get people talking about your business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You could hold a wine and cheese event at your store, a charity event to support the local community or a celebration event for a holiday. Encourage your customers to bring friends and family too &mdash; this could introduce a whole new audience to your business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.constantcontact.com\/features\/event-registration\">online registration tool<\/a>, customers can sign up to attend in advance and also provide information about other guests that will be joining them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Offer a referral bonus or reward for recruiting new customers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You don&rsquo;t have to give a huge bonus to make a positive impact and increase referrals. Try providing a small discount or some company swag to show your appreciation. Depending on how extensive your referral program is, you could create a more structured loyalty program to reward customers on an ongoing basis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Make sure the rules and guidelines for your program are clear and that you&rsquo;re promoting the program both online and in-store.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Inspiring long-term loyalty starts with a smart plan<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As you think about growing your customer base in the year ahead, remember that keeping your current customers happy plays a big role in growing your customer base.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With these five simple and cost-effective ways to reward your customers, you&rsquo;ll be well on your way to a successful year of growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-background wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"background-color:#ccf9f8\">Interested in learning more ways to grow your business?
