For a salon, drawing customers back for a repeat visit is something the business really ought to focus on, particularly in an era of fierce competition. Keeping customers coming back does not only lift sales; it also builds a lasting relationship with them. Here are five techniques for encouraging customers to visit more often.
1. Offer customers a service package
Service packages are a popular way of encouraging customers to keep coming back. By offering a special package price across your services — a 10-session massage package, say, or five manicures — you effectively guarantee that the customer will return later on.
Qashier POS for beauty businesses comes with a function that makes building packages straightforward. It lets beauty businesses — salons, nail bars or massage shops — create packages with whatever number of sessions and price they want. The package details are just as easy to record in the system: all the customer has to do is sign up in the Qashier POS member database.
2. Give out coupons or a discount on the next visit
Handing out a coupon or a discount towards the next visit is another way to encourage customers back. Receiving a discount coupon for their next purchase makes customers feel that coming back is worth their while, and there is a good chance they will use that coupon in the future.
Qashier Treats is a loyalty points function where points can be redeemed as a discount, with shops free to set the points rules that suit them. As well as bringing customers back, it is not at all fiddly for the shop to run. It is one more tool for raising satisfaction and giving customers a reason to return.
3. Offer promotions reserved for existing customers
Running promotions exclusively for existing customers is another way to make them feel special. Giving privileges to people who have visited before shows customers that the shop still cares about them and values their custom. Promotions aimed at this group can bring existing customers back and build a long-lasting relationship.
Qashier’s POS system comes with a CRM function that captures customer data and analyses buying behaviour accurately. Using that data, shops can design promotions that match what their customers actually want and are interested in — which is a sure way to give them a reason to return.
4. Good service and convenience
Good service and making things convenient for customers matter enormously. A good product alone is not what impresses people; quick, convenient service is part of what makes them want to come back. Using technology to improve the service experience does a great deal to raise customer satisfaction.
Qashier’s POS system comes with a Dynamic QR function that makes paying simple. Customers can scan a QR code to pay in seconds, with less fuss and no long wait — which leaves a better impression and makes them want to visit again.
5. Keep the quality of your products and service consistently high
Finally, however many promotions and privileges a shop offers, if it cannot keep the quality of its products and service up, customers may simply not come back. Maintaining that standard is the single most important thing in impressing customers and earning their trust. Giving them a good experience every time they visit builds confidence in the shop and keeps them returning.
Qashier’s POS system helps shops manage every process efficiently, from stock control and sales management to checking how well the service is performing. With up-to-date technology behind them, shops can keep products and service to a consistent standard — a key factor in holding on to a customer base that keeps coming back.
Bringing customers back for a repeat visit can be done with a whole range of techniques and strategies, from setting up a loyalty points programme, handing out coupons or discounts and offering special promotions, through to making the visit convenient and keeping product and service quality high. Using Qashier’s POS system, with its full set of functions, is one more important technique for encouraging customers to come back to your shop again.
