For retail companies, giving away products or services forfree provides something tangible at no cost. It is usually a trial oerwhere customers are given a limited amount of time before they willbe required to buy these items at a total price. Companies likeAmazon have taken this strategy further by oering trial oers beforelaunch and extending the oer over time if the customer continuesusing their service. By making the initial product available for purchasewith an incentive like an extended trial period, Amazon makes surethat it doesn't leave any room for competition on day one when itcomes out on the market.Loyal to freebies

Loyalty marketing has been seen as an eectiveform of customer acquisition for many companies, and it's one of themost critical aspects of customer loyalty overall. The crucial idea inloyalty marketing is that customers should feel like they get somethingextra when they return. They might not be able to get those additionaldiscounts or perks if they don't come back often enough, so thereneeds to be some sort of incentive for memberships for it to work.That's where things like reward points, cash back rewards, frequentflyer miles, etc., come into play.

Loyaltyprograms are one of the most popular ways for companies to retaincustomers. They provide incentives for repeat customers who'veproven themselves valuable to your business through repeated visits,purchases, and referrals.The best way to increase customer loyalty is to make them want toreturn to your business more often. It can be achieved by increasingrepeat visits. One of the best ways for a brand to do this is through aloyalty program. The premise is simple: giving customers specialoers or discounts based on how much they spend, how often theycome into your business, and what type of customer they are. Forexample, a car dealership might oer a discount on oil changes if youmake five purchases in one month or give you a gift card if you sign upfor their mailing list (the downside here is that your inbox will beflooded with messages). As long as you can connect with peoplepersonally and create a sense of community, it's easier for B2-Bbusinesses to develop loyalty programs.9-4. Increase repeat visits to your business9-3.

When it comes to loyalty programs, one of the most importantthings to remember is that they don't have to be costly orcomplicated. The key is to create a program that rewards yourcustomers for doing business with you and not just going through themotions. One great way to ensure you're rewarding your customersfor their loyalty is by only paying out when they improve sales volumeor increase profits. It provides your company incentive and motivationfor your customer base to get involved and progress with the workbeing done for them. For example, if your company oers a servicelike design services, but they haven't been giving any significantresults, you could start paying out more incentives as soon as theyproduce more pleasing designs. Alternatively, if a customer has alower profit margin than what you would like because of poor qualityworkmanship or lack of experience, then your business can stillreward them by making them eligible for bonus points on futurecontracts or better discounts on future work. Again, these bonuses areused as an incentive rather than a punishment, so it will keep retainingcustomers instead of driving them o in frustration.10. Only pay more when you earn more
