Winning back customers who haven’t made a purchase in a while is an economical way to boost sales for your Edmonton business. While
targeting new prospects with online advertising is critical to the success of your business, revisiting people who have had a positive
experience with your company in the past can be a very lucrative investment. We'll show you why and how. Call us today to learn how we can
help you win back your customers.
Not all customers who haven’t repurchased from you do so because they weren't happy with your business or products. Reconnecting with these
clients and placing your company in front of them again may be all that is required to regain their business. Further, you can use this
contact to gather valuable information about why they strayed and use it to improve your business and its offers.
Roll Up your Sleeves
Before you start trying to regain customers who have made a one-time purchase from you, you have some work to do if you're to be successful
with your online advertising. Roll up your sleeves and get to work on the following:
Make sure everyone involved in management, marketing, customer service and merchandising are all on the same page and working
collaboratively.
Identify the best customers to include in your campaign based on how recent their last interaction was, how often they have done
business with you and the dollar value they've spent.
Find out why you've lost this group of customers and what incentives will work best to reignite their interest.
Your Action Plan
Your success at regaining your lost customers depends on developing an action plan for your online advertising. Here are four tools used to
successfully draw customers back to your business:
Email marketing with incentives or exclusive information to garner attention.
Customer-matched pay-per-click advertising campaigns based on former habits.
Display ad re-targeting to place your products in front the customer after they have left your site.
To maximize your success, choose the tools that are the best investment to recapture the customers you identified. Determine how much of
your budget will be applied to each and implement them to start winning back your customers.
