Service Retention: Highly Effective Digital Marketing for the Service Drive
Service has many more opportunities to work with the customer than any other department in the store. That said, everyone should see how important it is to design a program to create long-term loyalty and retention.
Rethinking Rewards Cards
Instead of looking at rewards cards as just more work, put yourself in the customer’s shoes. Get creative, drive more business, the sky is the limit if you become as engaged in the program as you want your customer to be.
Dealer Panel – Employee Recognition Programs
Our Dealer Panel gives voice to dealers, GMs and sales professionals to share their experiences — sales techniques, new technology and ways to motivate staff — giving our readers the benefit of learning from their peers.
Factory Rewards Programs Versus Dealer-Owned Rewards Programs
Customers like to be rewarded and the more you reward them, the more loyal they become.
Understanding Rewards
A solid rewards program is not trying to trick the customer into doing business but thank them for their business in a meaningful way.
Hidden Profit Centers
Nothing helps retain a customer better than a strong PPM program. Why leave 80 percent of your customers out when it is a great value for them and creates a customer for life?
Rewards, Rewards, Rewards!
If you’re serious about creating lifetime customers, and motivating those customers to do what you want them to do to create more sales, then you need to consider installing and providing a rewards program that has value to your customers.
Setting Your Expectations for a Loyalty Program
Each visit is an opportunity to prepare for the next visit and set realistic expectations on what services will be needed.
Add a Little Magic to the Experience
Discounts are a bribe. You are spending money to gain business and hoping it leads to more business. With a loyalty program, it is just the opposite. The customer gives us business and then we give them the “thank you.”
