Find Customer Easily for You Gift Basket
by Joyce Oladipo, "The Giftpreneur Queen"
Have you ever needed a hair cut or dye done and wondered where could you get be the hair dresser? I bet you wouldn’t just wonder into a shop randomly? Probably not!
I would say out of experience that the best way to find the best hairdresser would be to ask a friend, relative, or co-worker for the name of their hairdresser and whether or not they are satisfied with their service and customer service.
So the big question is what does this have to do your gift basket business and how would it bring in targeted customers easily to buy you product?
Well it Got Absolutely Everything to do with your business . . .
Sometime you get new customers through your marketing and advertising efforts but there is also another way to get customers…referrals.
Why is this so important to your business?
Four BIG reasons to use referral
1. Ask for referral
Referral is a powerful way to get new customer. People who referrals trust your service. Those who come through refer then to buy from you because they trust the person who referred them, and you are able to capitalize on it.
Whenever you are fortunate enough to get a referred customer to buy your basket they would buy what they come for if not much more, Why? It because they already came in with a buying attitude, which is simply based on trust.
2. Customer replenishing
You need to continuously find new customer because old customers do stop buy over a period of time. Referral helps to increase your customer base.
3. Referral cost little
Referred customer cost less to acquire than expensive, traditional advertising such as newspaper, radio, or TV.
4. Referrals do refer
Referred customers are more likely to refer their friends, co-workers, and relatives to you, since someone else referred them.
Here are a few examples of a referral system
1. The Old Fashioned Contest referral
2. Thank You" Referral
3. Free Give-a-Gift referral
4. Send the Bill" Referral
