I'm sure at one time or another we have all heard a story about someone buying or taking over a laundromat and there were hardly any records or data on the clients.
I believe comprehensive client data is one of the cornerstones of building an emerging laundromat/laundry service business. Now when I say comprehensive, I am speaking to more than just their first name, nickname, and phone number.
Building and maintaining a client contact list is crucial for your business because it enables you to establish direct and ongoing communication with your clients. It allows you to inform clients about promotions, new services, and updates, which in turn, builds client loyalty and encourages repeat business.
This week I'm sharing why it is important and ways to beef up your client database.
What Can You Do With a Comprehensive Contact List
- Multi-Platform Communication
With multiple points of content for your clients, you can easily contact them about promotions, discounts, new services, and more in multiple ways, such as SMS, email, and direct mail. - Personalized Communication
With clients' full names, you can address them by their preferred names in your communications, creating a more personalized and friendly experience.
Personalization helps to strengthen client relationships and loyalty. For example, some of you signed up for Wash Weekly and provided your name, while some of you didn't. Those who provided their name receive a more personalized email from me than those who did not. Their emails read: "Dear Waleed” vs. “Dear Wash Weekly Insider".
p.s. you can always go to washweekly.com and update your profile 😉
- Targeted Birthday Offers
By collecting birthdates, you can send personalized birthday offers or discounts to your clients. This makes them feel valued and appreciated and shows you are thinking about them beyond when they interact with your service.
