[vc_row][vc_column width=”2/3″][vc_column_text disable_pattern=”true” align=”left” margin_bottom=”0″]The leaves have turned vibrant hues of orange, deep maroon, bright red and varied hues of lime green and yellow. I especially love the autumn in Minnesota. With it brings trips to the apple orchard, crisp clean air, sweaters, Halloween, my Birthday, and Loyalty Birthday Rewards.  $10 off, $25 off, 25% off, Buy one Get One Free, Birthday Cards, and Emails have been arriving all month.
I take advantage of these great offers and repeat business with the retailers and e-tailers who value me as their client enough to send birthday greetings and bonus offers.
According to the Gartner Group, 80% of future revenue will come from 20% of your existing customers.  Loyalty and Recognition programs with a well-timed Birthday greeting can increase these percentages for you. Do this via direct mail or email with one to one personal communication.

• For those of us with a client list, it’s a no brainer. Recognize your customers Birthday month.  No excuses – Birthday month can be appended to your data as long as you have an address and name.
• Say thank you after a project completes or a product is purchased
• Create loyalty programs to keep your customers engaged and buying from you
• Recognize length of relationship by how long they have been a customer or a donor
• Bring them into the family – celebrate a company event or anniversary with an announcement and offer
• Ask for Feedback on a purchase or service
