(This is the part 1 of 4 from series on “customer loyalty”).

If you’ve doubts about “what’s the need for this effort? Why should I INVEST my time and energy on customer loyalty?”Then let me give some reasons to read this story and keep improving forever.

You should make them loyal Because,

I. Regular customers more willing to be HONEST for your business.

They will give you the honest feedback regarding your services, new waiters and new recipes. And also it is easy and best way to get feedback. For this purpose new customers will cost you much more time and money than from loyals (There are ALWAYS possibilities for incorrect results when you ask new people for feedback).

II. They will give you a regular income

to which you (as a startup) can depend. Obviously your restaurants will not stand alone on this patronage of regular customer but it will be an income on which you can rely.

Make sure that your regulars know that you know THEY ARE REGULAR so you can give them the respect which they deserve. This relation has potential to go very long.

Here are some quick tips to go one step ahead in your entrepreneurial journey…
