With this is mind may investors in the market will be shuffling theirs assets. This was reported in the Evening Standard. Springboard data also reflects nearly a 3.5% drop in retail sales.

Facts that will determine the future of your Business

By Shila Shah

I have come to question where some companies list Customer Service on their agenda. It most certainly is not at the top of the list after my recent appalling experience at a well-known affluent shopping centre. The fundamental reason why I did not make the purchase that I had set my heart on was the serious lack of customer service. Coming from a long standing retail management career I am stating that this needs to be addressed quickly and efficiently.

The Midas Touch

ONLY 5% RETENTION INCREASES TURNOVER BY 25% TO 95%

Many companies irrelevant of their size tend to forget that personal touch with your customers still the most important tool for a business. I came across this from a training programme and I felt it needed to be highlighted.

1) Take Time To Know Your Customers

Add the Human Contact
Reconnect with your customers
Try one to one engagement

This is like a streak of gold and will definitely pay dividends.

Can you afford to miss this?

This is just something all businesses should be aware of and take the necessary steps to ensure that your retention strategies are in place. This is essential for the growth and the smooth running of your business.

I have just written a white paper for 10 effective customer retention suggestions. Before we go ahead and look at this here are some statistics gathered by the US Chamber of Commerce and US Small Business Administration.

A Retail Legend

It is not often that you meet people who have qualities that make them a great leader. Don McCarthy is a true gentleman who is humble – a rare gem. I just had to share with you that he has always respected and cared for people who worked with him. He has just been awarded the Retail Legend title by the Retail Trust.

If anyone deserves this title Don McCarthy definitely does, after his enormous contribution to the retail industry. He has changed the face of many High Street Brands the latest being House of Fraser.

Customer experience matters

With all the growing competition it is essential that your customers get the best and you have an edge on your competitors. It sounds simple but unless the skeleton is in place to achieve this it would be very difficult to achieve and maintain.

You want your customers to become fans rather than just customers as that would ensure a large degree of loyalty provided the service is consistent. There are several important factors that must be considered.

Your Team Matters

Here’s five tactics to win over most of your customers

1 – Take ownership of mistakes and solve them satisfactorily

Lets face it, nobody’s perfect, we all make mistakes. But when it happens to you, be professional enough to admit it to your customer and take immediate steps to make it right. This can be an opportunity for retention and hence make your customer a fan and not just a Customer.

2 – Look and Anticipate the Needs of Your Customer
