Every business owner knows this:
Loyal customers = repeat sales.
In fact, according to Bain & Company, increasing customer retention rates by just 5% can boost profits by 25–95%. The good news? You don’t need a huge budget to build loyalty—you just need to communicate consistently and reward smartly.
Here’s how Nigerian SMEs can keep customers coming back without breaking the bank.
1. Send Thank-You Messages That Matter
Gratitude goes a long way. A simple “thank you for shopping with us” message makes customers feel valued.
- After every order, send a short thank-you SMS or email.
- Add a small bonus: “Show this message to get 5% off your next order.”
- Use it as a chance to remind them of your store link.
👉 With PearMonie Bulk SMS & Email, you can set up automated thank-you notes after every purchase.
2. Use Reminders to Win Repeat Orders
Sometimes customers forget—not because they don’t love your product, but because life gets busy. A friendly reminder can bring them back.
Examples:
- Fashion business: “New arrivals are here 👗. Tap to shop now.”
- Food business: “Hungry? Order your favorite jollof rice today 🍲.”
- Service business: “Your subscription expires tomorrow. Renew in one click.”
✅ PearMonie lets you schedule reminders via SMS or email so your customers never forget you.
3. Reward Customers Affordably
You don’t need expensive loyalty programs. Affordable rewards still work wonders.
- Offer a discount after 3 purchases
- Give airtime credit or free delivery for referrals
- Send birthday coupons with a personal touch
💡 You can manage and track all of this inside PearMonie’s referral and reward system—no complicated setup needed.
4. Stay Present with Consistent Updates
Customers trust brands that stay in touch. Regular updates keep you top of mind without costing a fortune.
Use bulk emails to:
- Share product updates
- Announce restocks
- Educate with short tips (e.g., “How to store your shoes for longer use”)
Use bulk SMS to:
- Alert customers about flash sales
- Send quick delivery confirmations
- Share special weekend offers
SMS open rates are as high as 98%, compared to email’s 20% average (Campaign Monitor, 2024). That’s why combining both channels through PearMonie gives you the best results.
5. Build a Community, Not Just a Customer List
The most loyal customers feel like part of a family.
- Create a VIP WhatsApp group for your best buyers
- Give early access to sales or exclusive content
- Use PearMonie’s bulk messaging tools to invite them personally
This sense of belonging builds long-term loyalty—and more repeat sales.
