Why Customer Service Matters!

Hello lovelies, Happy weekend! Thank you so much for all your kind words, encouragements. I have been receiving alot of positive feedback, you guys love my post and i appreciate it alot. Today’s post is to inspire you . Customer service is very important. Customers tend to return to a service or a business environment where they have been treated well. Its is much more less expensive in maintaing an existing customer base than trying to acquire new leads.  How do i maintain or earn returning customer i here you ask?

Treat your customers well,  be in touch with your customers, offer coupons, discounts, share updates via social media, introduce customer engagement and social media marketing to your business, create personalised  and customised service for your customers.

I hope these few tips were helpful.

I do love to learn from you, what do you do to make your business successful

I love you.

Hallo schatjes, Gelukkig weekend! Heel erg bedankt voor al je vriendelijke woorden, aanmoedigingen. Ik heb veel positieve feedback ontvangen, jullie houden van mijn blog post en ik stel het erg op prijs. Het blog post van vandaag is om je te inspireren. Klantenservice is erg belangrijk. Klanten hebben de neiging om terug te keren naar een service of een zakelijke omgeving waar ze goed zijn behandeld. Het is veel minder duur in het handhaven van een bestaande klantenbasis dan het proberen om nieuwe leads te verwerven. Hoe kan ik terugkerende klant onderhouden of verdienen, vraag je het mij?

Behandel uw klanten goed, neem contact op met uw klanten, bied kortingsbonnen, kortingen, deel updates via sociale media, introduceer klantbetrokkenheid en sociale mediamarketing voor uw bedrijf, creëer gepersonaliseerde en aangepaste service voor uw klanten.

Ik hoop dat deze paar tips nuttig waren.

Ik vind het leuk om van je te leren, wat doe je om je bedrijf succesvol te maken?

Ik hou van jullie!

Massage is very important because your muscles get inflamed after working out, getting a massage will help all the toxins in your body out . Massage helps to clean your body internally. I love to get massage on my hair, face, neck and that makes me feel very cool!

Manicure and Pedicure is also very important to make you look so fabulous, it is impotant to maintain your self very well. A nice hot bath will help you feel better and an awesome self care tip. Lush has really nice scented balms and stones for bath. You may also want to try out bath soap from Dr Kniep, you can get it from De tuinen or Kruidvat. Pamper your self by lodging in a very nice hotel with welness Once in  a while, at least once a month!

Spend quality time with your family,  visit cool restaurants such as Fletchers, Van Der valk, Hilton, Amadore, Sheraton hotels, there are also very affordable places to hang out such as mcdonald,kfc, burger king or a short quick picnic by th seaside.

Hallo-familie !!! Ja, ik heb jullie familie genoemd, omdat ik mijn online gemeenschap als familie beschouw. Massage is erg belangrijk omdat je spieren ontstoken raken na het sporten. Een massage zal alle gifstoffen in je lichaam helpen. Massage helpt je lichaam intern te reinigen. Ik ben dol op massage van mijn haar, gezicht, nek en dat geeft me een heel goede gevoel!

Manicure en pedicure zijn ook erg belangrijk om je er zo fantastisch uit te laten zien, het is heel belangrijk  om je zelf heel goed te houden. Een lekker warm bad zal je helpen je beter te voelen en een geweldige zelfzorg tip. Lush heeft echt mooie geurende balsems en stenen voor in bad. Misschien wil je ook badzeep van Dr. Kniep uitproberen, je kunt het krijgen van De tuinen of Kruidvat. Soms moet je jezelf verwenen door in een heel mooi hotel met welness te verblijven. Af en toe, minstens één keer per maand!

Het voelt beter als je vaak met je familie rondhangt en er minstens één keer per week van houdt, omdat het helpt bij het verlijmen.

Bedankt veel voor het lezen!

Hoe breng je quality time door met je geliefden?

Ik hou zoveel van jullie!
