Tuesday's Tip:: Exclusive deals

Happy Tuesday from snowy Ohio!

Today's tip relates to exclusive deals. They are a great way to build customer loyalty! You can offer them several different ways. Here are a few of my favorites::

• Newsletter:: If you are already connecting with your customer base on a regular basis, offer them a coupon code or special promotion. They will be more likely to open your e-mails and more likely to tell their friends that they need to be on your mailing list.
• Tweet:: There are several benefits to tweeting on Twitter. Networking with potential business partners is important, but so is building a customer base. Tweeting exclusive coupons and deals to your followers is a sure way to get more followers and more customers!
• Facebook Fans:: They are your fans because they like your business, your products, and your services. Give them an exclusive deal and they'll be an even more loyal fan.
• Existing customers:: Establish a referral program and offering exclusive deals to existing customers who refer their friends. By doing this you gain new and repeat customers at the same time.

The key is to make your customers, fans, followers feel special. Giving them exclusive deals and promotions does that. Having loyal customers is invaluable. Not only do they continue to purchase from you, but they also spread the word about your great products and services!

And, of course I am going to offer my loyal blog readers an exclusive offer today. :o) Use SAVE20 at checkout to save 20% on any service, listing, or advertisement from Market Mommy! {Expires Feb. 15}
