Review:
I've worked with AutoDS and love the software.  It really works just as it says it does.  They have videos and detailed blog posts to help you with any issues you may have.  The staff are always happy to help.

Just as I started getting real busy with sales coming in, eBay gave me the code MC0111.  This means that eBay does a check on your account for too much activity but what I never enjoyed was that they suspended my account and requested information from me which took 2 weeks to get back to normal.   In the meantime all my products weren't visible anymore and I had to re instate all my listings (800 of them) one by one once they re activated my account.   Autods allows you to have up to 10 eBay stores in your account, all for the same one monthly payment.
 
Autods helps you save time in every way and they have a Trial offer allowing you to test the software for a whole week for just $1.00  so why not try it out? Go here now!

2. Enhance your customer experience

​According to Forbes,  79% of customers would take their business to a competitor within a week of experiencing poor customer service. But it’s not just about customer support, it’s also about the way you show your customers that you value them for buying from your store.

So, how can you increase the likelihood of a good experience with your business?

The answer: make customers feel like the money they spent was worth it.

A loyalty program provides the perfect vehicle to do this.


It’s all about perceived value. If a customer can get something extra for their money, besides the product they purchased, they will experience the “wow factor”.

According to persuasion expert Robert Cialdini, this positive experience also invokes a desire to return the favor, grounded in the power of reciprocity.

In other words, “if a customer receives positive treatment – like a loyalty program – they will be more likely to ‘return the favor’ in the form of more visits, purchases or referrals”, Smart Insights says.

3. Maximize brand advocacy

Loyalty programs are meant for your best customers.

These are the top 20% of all your customers, who drive 80% of your total revenue by spending more over a longer period of time.

A well-designed loyalty program can deepen their engagement with your brand, as well as make them feel appreciated by a business. Now here is the important part, the more they engage with your business, the more likely they are to promote your brand to others.

Compared to non-advocates, they are 2-3 times more effective in persuading others to purchase from you.

We all know that people love to talk about things they love. Think of traditional word-of-mouth, as a happy customer tells two people about their experience, and those two people each tell another two people.

According to Entrepreneur, word-of-mouth is triggered when a customer experiences something far beyond what was expected. In addition, Nielsen states that 92% of consumers believe recommendations from friends and family over all forms of advertising – 10 times more effective to be exact. Word of Mouth Marketing, then, is the most powerful form of advertising a business can have, as each happy customer can steer dozens of new ones their way.

It is important to make it as easy as possible for them to share their thoughts with others, whether it be on social media, your website or your app.

4. Build your online reputation

Speaking of brand advocacy, a loyalty program is also a great strategy to build your strong online reputation. 

88% of customers trust online reviews, so it’s crucial to devote resources to gathering these reviews on relevant platforms.

There are two ways to do this with your loyalty program: reward your customers for leaving a review or ask your customers to leave a review after redeeming a reward.

With the first, you can trade a reward (be it extra points or special goodies) for leaving a review. With the second, you are zoning in even more on the positive experience your loyalty programs brings to the customer.

In this case, you wait for the perfect moment in which your customers’ feel the most positive towards your brand and then ask them for a review.

When is that perfect moment? When customers have just redeemed a loyalty reward!

Maybe they just just received their free slice of pizza or were rewarded with $5 off their purchase. If you ask customers for a review at this positive point in time, there will be a higher chance that it will be a positive one.

Miomobi Apps does this with the review campaigns feature, where customers get prompted automatically to leave a review through a push notification.

​Positive reviews will help you build a positive brand image and reputation. They will also bring in new customers who picked your business over a competitor because of positive reviews.


Conclusion

A loyalty program can benefit your business in many different ways.

It makes sure your loyal customers feel appreciated, as well as encourage them to come back to your business over and over again. With the data you gain, you will be able to refine your marketing strategies and tailor your loyalty program even more.

Grow your business in 2018 with the help of a simple, yet effective loyalty program.
