Tips
- 1. Always ask and keep your customer’s contact details.
By keeping customer’s contact details (name, email, phone, notes etc.) you will have the chance to communicate again in the future and make successful campaigns and promotions. For example, you can send a thank you email or an email for an offer for next year or even new year wishes. The customer will be happy and he might select you again for his vacation.
- 2. Search before creating a new customer.
Try to keep your customers' data base clean and avoid double entries. A clean database will make searching customers easier and faster, it will smooth daily operations and communications and will help you do future campaigns.
