Why Is Customer Loyalty Important?

Acquiring a new customer is more expensive than hanging on to an existing one. It can be 5 to 25 times more expensive, depending on which industry you are in. So it makes sense to work on retaining customers rather than just focusing on gaining new buyers.

We can offer a selection of printed marketing materials to assist your customer retention efforts. For example, you can send a random gift of kindness such as custom bookmark when someone places their third order.  

Loyalty card printing lets you reward frequent buyers, and it encourages them to buy from you again. It’s perfect for hairdressers and coffee shops. But what about online businesses? That’s where thank you for your order cards come into play.
