Trouble Retaining Customers? Consistent Communication is Key
by Michelle Larter
 

   Customer retention is always challenging, especially now when people are buying less and focusing on saving money for situations when their family really needs it. However, standing out during a time when many companies are cutting back on resources and marketing efforts can only increase awareness of your business and customer loyalty. The key is making sure your customers consistently hear from you. They need to know that you are still out there.

   Communicating with customers through enewsletters and multimedia emails is the perfect way to drive measurable brand impact, product visibility, leads and sales. With the support of a professional-looking, personalized enewsletter, you’re able to reach customers and prospects easier and more consistently.

   Successful direct selling consultants rely on enewsletters and email communication to ensure their customers receive the important information they need to stay in touch and committed to the brand. Cindy Watford, a Director in Qualification at Tupperware, not only reaches her most loyal customers, but also often receives orders from past customers when she sends out an ecommunication. She stays in touch with every contact once a month with Tupperware Trends, powered by IMN Party Pulse™ –an ecommunications capability that includes a high-quality, well-written enewsletter with the latest information about products, offers and opportunities as well as everyday articles such a recipes and lifestyle tips.

   “I always get orders from someone that I haven’t heard from in a while after sending out the enewsletter,” says Watford. “It’s so easy. Most of the work is done for you. It’s nice to know that a personal email with my picture is helping me connect with customers I don’t talk with regularly.”

   With Tupperware Trends, Cindy also receives deep and sophisticated data analysis into the enewsletter readers’ behavior. She is able to determine who is ready to order more Tupperware products, who is interested in the business opportunity and who is interested in hosting a party. By knowing this information, Cindy is able to tailor her follow up accordingly and provide better service.

   As part of the IMN Party Pulse solution, consultants need only add their personal photo and personal message. Content consisting of hostess specials, business opportunity promotions, lifestyle content and more is included in the newsletter for consultants.

   An enewsletter makes communicating with your audience easy, and it enables consultants to follow-up more effectively and provide great customer service.  Consultants always know who to call and what to say, all the time. Your customers will appreciate the consistent communication, creating top of mind awareness for you and your business, no matter how large your network is.
