3 Reasons Your Small Business Should Have a Loyalty Program
by Chloe Riley @ Blog | Local Business Success Center - SinglePlatform
Wed Feb 01 10:55:00 PST 2017
80% of your business’ revenue comes from just 20% of your customers, and it costs your business 6-7 times more to attract a new customer than it does to keep an existing one. Taking a look at these statistics, the importance of establishing a customer base and learning what it takes to satisfy them is crucial in not only increasing your revenue, but also in saving your business money.
1. Create a Loyal Customer Base
Creating a consistent customer experience is essential to customer retention; it establishes their trust in your small business to deliver quality and satisfaction each time they visit. Not only do customers expect a consistent experience each time, they also expect to be rewarded for their loyalty to your restaurant or brand. By creating a loyalty rewards program that is both simple to understand and clear in what the customer receives when they make a purchase with you, you entice them to revisit your business again in the future.
Considering that almost half of consumers are using loyalty programs more than they were two years ago, it’s safe to assume that loyalty programs are a huge factor in overall customer satisfaction, as well as a great indicator as to what customers want, and even expect from your business. In order to not only attract new customers, but also turn them into regular ones, your business needs to ensure that it can deliver what the customer wants out of their experience with you – and that includes a rewards program.
2. Implement Incentives
69% of consumers said rewards make them more likely to spend money with a particular brand, and 90% of consumers said they would sign up with a fast food or fine dining restaurant if they were offered a customer loyalty program.
Incentivizing customers to purchase your products by placing a reward on them helps the customer justify the purchase; when a customer feels like they’re getting a greater return on their investment with your business than they would purchasing from another, it makes the decision to spend money with you much easier - and may even lead them to spend more. By rewarding your customers for spending money with your restaurant or small business, you give them the peace of mind that they’re getting the best deal in the long run, which will ultimately lead them to choose you again in the future.
3. Keep Up with Your Competitors
As the popularity of loyalty and rewards programs continues to rise, it is imperative to keep up with your competitors and ensure that your customers get the greatest reward by purchasing from you. The demand for a competitive loyalty program is greater than ever before; almost half of customers agree that it would be easy to replace a program with a competitor’s program if it gives them a better reward. Considering there are 2.6 billion active loyalty program memberships in the United States, your customers have a lot to choose from. By keeping your program competitive and rewarding your customers frequently for spending with you, you ensure your business to be the first pick among consumers.

How to Succeed at Email Customer Service
by The SinglePlatform Team @ Blog | Local Business Success Center - SinglePlatform
Wed Feb 15 06:00:00 PST 2017
Email can be a tricky customer service channel. Because you don’t have a voice-to-voice or face-to-face connection, it’s more difficult to gauge how upset a customer might really be and get at the real heart of the issue. However, many customers prefer to send an email rather than call or come into your store because it’s quick and requires little effort on their part. For all these reasons, email customer service won’t be going away any time soon. Here are 3 things you shouldn’t be doing as part of your email customer service program.
1. Don’t Use Canned Responses
Letting a user know you received their inquiry and will get back to them soon is one thing. But actually having your customer service response be a form letter or script is just icky. Does the FAQ page on your website answer a user’s question? Sure, but that doesn’t mean you should just send them a link and call it a day. Take the time to give a customized response that will make your customer feel valued.
2. Don’t Make Excuses
When someone writes in with negative feedback, your first instinct may be to make excuses for the problem. It doesn’t matter what caused the issue or who might be to blame—making excuses won’t resolve the problem. Focus on providing an efficient resolution and winning that person back with attentive, positive service.
3. Don’t Rush Past the Problem to the Solution.
Before you make a hasty reply back to a customer, make sure to read their email carefully and thoughtfully consider how best to respond to them. While the types of issues that come up may be pretty standard for your business, the people who have these issues aren’t—and they each require a slightly different response.
In addition to these 3 things to avoid, here are 3 things you should be doing with email customer service.
1. Use Personalization
When responding to a customer’s inquiry, make sure to personalize your correspondence. Use their name, include any relevant purchase or account information, and be sure to sign off with your name as well. These small touches will ensure that your message sounds genuine and targeted to the customer rather than being an automated message from a system.
2. Set Expectations
If it’s going to take a couple of days to resolve an inquiry, don’t be afraid to tell the customer up front. Setting clear expectations so that the customers knows what the next steps are and when they will be happening will prevent any feelings of impatience or being forgotten about.
3. Provide a Human Element
Humans respond to other humans. When you’re emailing a customer, make sure your message incorporates a human element. Show that you really care about the problems the customer is having. Use informal (but still professional) language rather than stilted business or technical speak. Tell the customer how to reach you if they want to follow up outside of email. Anything you can do to reinforce a human connection will contribute to a more positive interaction between the customer and your business.
The Bottom Line
Email might not be everyone’s preferred customer service channel, but it can be effective when used correctly. Make sure to tailor your communications based on the specific problem and customer, focus on the right resolution rather than the quickest one, set clear expectations for what will happen and when, and give a personal touch to each email you send.

How to Effectively Communicate With Your Customers
by Chloe Riley @ Blog | Local Business Success Center - SinglePlatform
Mon Jan 30 14:00:00 PST 2017
Over 75% of consumers prefer to interact with local businesses digitally, as opposed to by phone, text, or traditional mail. Because quality customer service is a huge factor, it is vital to provide your customers what they want. Switch from traditional to digital communication, and make it easier for your customers to get the information they need, the way they want to be reached. Here are three ways to make the switch and satisfy your customers:
1. Be Social
Ditch face-to-face for Facebook because almost half of your consumers expect to engage with you on this social media platform. By updating your Facebook page periodically and inviting your customers to post about their experiences, you pave the way for successful online communication – something they expect you to facilitate.
2. Be Informative
84% of consumers say they want to receive helpful advice and tips from local businesses regarding products or services. Not only does the extra information benefit your customers, it makes your business seem more credible and trustworthy; prompting them to continue purchasing from you.
3. Be Responsible
According to Yodle, over 50% of consumers say they prefer email reminders for appointments and service updates. By keeping track of your customers’ appointments, you make their lives easier and make your business look better. Taking on the task of reminding your customers about their upcoming obligations shows you value their time and your quality of customer service.
By taking these steps to reach customers the way they want to be reached with the information they’re looking for, you promote your business’ reputation and customer service.
Learn how SinglePlatform can ensure that your communication potential with customers is maximized on the web.

Craft Your Customer Service With These 4 Tips
by Chloe Riley @ Blog | Local Business Success Center - SinglePlatform
Fri Feb 03 13:36:00 PST 2017
Looking for ways to draw more business and grow your customer base? Start with customer service. Put it into perspective: when someone shows care and consideration for your feelings and experiences, is it easier for you to trust that person?
The same situation applies to the business-consumer relationship: when you treat your customers well, you make it easy for them to trust your business.
How is trust relevant to customer service?
They go hand-in-hand. 83 percent of consumers will recommend a trusted company to others and 82 percent will continue to use that brand frequently, according to a recent article by Forbes.
Therefore, customer service facilitates trust, and trust facilitates the attraction and creation of a loyal customer base. Since your customers purchase from you, you also pave the foundation to increase your business’ sales.
What happens when you neglect customer service?
You run the risk of losing customers, and a lot of them. 89% of people will stop doing business with a company if they experience poor customer service. Can you imagine how that would affect your sales?
To avoid losing your customers and your money, ensure your customer service is up-to-par with these four tips:
1. Make Feedback Easy
Not only should you encourage your customers to make suggestions, you should make it as simple as possible for them to do so. Listing your business across review sites or dedicating a section on your website for customer inquiries is a great way to start. By giving your customers a voice, you empower them to be heard… which brings us to the next point.
2. Listen Well
Now that your customers have a voice, listen to them! People who have invested money and time with your business deserve to be heard – if they have a concern, comment, or question, take it seriously. If it’s constructive and genuine, implementing it into your business could lead to more satisfied customers down the road.
3. The Customer is Always Right
Acknowledging and pledging to resolve any negative experiences or issues that a customer has with your business is mutually beneficial – the customer walks away satisfied, while simultaneously leading more customers to you. Ensuring customers they will be taken care of every step of the way, including after they purchase, will create security and reassurance that purchasing with your business is the right decision.
4. Exceed Expectations
Give your customers all of the information they need to make the most informed decision when choosing to spend money with your business. Maximizing your online presence is the best way to start; 93% of people research a business before ever setting foot in the door. By giving them information they’re looking for online, and ensuring that it’s consistent with what they experience when they arrive in-store, customers are not only more likely to trust your brand, but follow through with a purchase in-store.

How to Create a Small Business Social Media Plan
by The SinglePlatform Team @ Blog | Local Business Success Center - SinglePlatform
Fri Dec 16 11:30:00 PST 2016
Now that you’ve decided which social media networks your business is going to join, it’s time to write out your social media plan. Why Develop a Social Media Plan?
You may be wondering why a social media plan is necessary. After all, maintaining a social media account seems simple enough—you post content, share other peoples’ content, and interact with followers. While this is true to some extent, if your posts and interactions on social aren’t driven by a carefully crafted plan, you may be wasting your time. In order to get the most out of your efforts on social, you have to determine what your goals are and how you’re going to achieve them. Your content will then support those goals.
What Should a Social Media Plan Include?
Each business's social media plan will be unique based on its individual needs. However, every plan should contain the following basic elements as a foundation:
- Audience: Who are you trying to reach? Are they the same people on each social network, or different?
- Goals: What do you hope to achieve by using social media? Do you want to drive engagement and repeat business from current customers? Connect with new customers? Boost traffic to your business’s blog?
- Networks: Which networks will you be posting on?
- Content types: Will you be posting news articles? Videos? Photos? Quotes? Will the type of content you post be the same across every network, or customized?
- Content mix: What percent of content will you post to engage and inform your viewers, and what percent will you use to promote your business’s products, services, specials, and events? The standard mix is 80% informative content and 20% promotional content, but your plan may vary depending on your audience and industry.
- Posting schedule: How many times a day will you be posting on each network? What times during the day will you be posting? Who will be responsible for posting on each network?
- Customer service policy: Who will be in charge of responding to customer service inquiries? How will you handle negative feedback or angry customers?
- Testimonials and reviews: Will you share positive feedback from happy customers on social channels? If so, what format will this feedback be presented in, and how often will you share it?
- Contests and ads: If you plan to run any social contests or ad campaigns, make sure to include those in your plan as well. You should include your concept, budget, and desired outcome so that you can benchmark your results once the campaign has run.
How to Optimize Your Plan
Starting off with a social media plan is a great first step, but as you begin to post regularly and see how your audience interacts with your content, you’ll inevitably end up adjusting your social media plan to maximize your reach and engagement. Make sure to go back and put it down in writing; you never know when you might hand off social media responsibilities to someone else, and you’ll want your plan to be as accurate as possible for that person to follow.
The Bottom Line
Before you invest time and energy into posting great content and engaging with followers on social, make sure you have a solid social media plan in place so that your goals are clear. Then, any time you struggle to come up with content to share, you can go back to these goals for inspiration and guidance.
