Focusing on customer satisfaction and loyalty has never been more important. More and more people are now investing in online shopping and the competition is getting bigger. Customers are increasingly expecting a good shopping experience, and those who do not meet the requirements will be in danger of losing customers to competitors. Building customer satisfaction and loyalty will be crucial for online stores in the time ahead.

A customer club is an effective way to build good customer relations and customer loyalty. Many people probably see the customer club as a significant cost in establishment and operation. Also, there is another channel where you are forced to give additional discounts and good offers to customers. Here it's important to look at it from a longer perspective, as well as look at what you can use the customer club for. With a customer club, you can offer unique benefits that make it attractive for customers to sign up in the online store. Once they have registered, you are sitting on key data that is crucial to be able to offer a personalized shopping experience. In a clothing store, for example, you can ask for personal information such as name, gender, and date of birth. This can be combined with other data such as purchase history (in the physical store and online store) and behavior (click/view history) in the online store. The result is that members who visit the clothing store get content, product recommendations, and specific offers based on this data.

The cost of establishing a customer club, providing an introductory discount, and maintaining the customer base must therefore be seen as an investment to offer a personalized shopping experience that provides increased conversion rates!
