Earning shoppers’ loyalty during the holidays might be even harder than it is during the rest of the year. While some consumers are busy, stressed, and looking for a reliable purchase from a retailer they know, others are hunting for deals and the next cool, new gift. A Google survey noted that during the 2014 holiday season, more than 50% of shoppers were willing to shop with a new business, and 41% of shoppers actually did so. That’s why holiday customer loyalty must be a priority for anyone looking to survive the season.
Customer loyalty programs help you focus on retaining existing customers through incentives, coupons, prizes, and customizable rewards. Acquiring new customers is five times more expensive than retaining the existing ones so it’s crucial to focus on your best customers and drive more purchases and advocacy through them. When you’re working with a loyalty program, ensuring holiday customer loyalty is a much more streamlined and simple process. With this holiday customer loyalty cheat sheet, you’ll have one less thing to worry about.

These are good techniques. I’m using holidays to boost my sales too. I create a segmented campaign to target specific group of my customers and create potentially interesting personalized offers. I then place a C2A with a link that leads to a special landing page. I start one week before and make a few follow-ups during the week. It always works pretty good. The best part about it – it’s easily done once you get the basic idea. I use Sendpulse marketing automation platform for managing my subscribers lists and automating newsletters and it’s super easy to setup my campaigns. I also use their free web push service to deliver the important messages and it too helps to increase engagement and sales.
