WHAT AM I
GOING TO LEARN?
In this document you will learn all of the different ways you can
organise customers into groups and then market to them
effectively. Inside is every customer list for loads of different
business models with examples to help you implement them
into your own company and fit them to match your products
and customers. 
Not only is there hundreds of lists for you to make use of but all
the information you need to know about finding out who your
best customers are, who your worst ones are and things to
think about within your loyalty scheme if you are currently
running one. 
FIGURE 1.
Seperating your customers
into different lists will allow
you to deliver a much more
personalised experience to
them, both in-store and
through your matketing which
will build loyalty, and keep
your customers happy!

Your Best Customers
& the 80/20 Rule
Your best customers will keep coming back to your business time after time to purchase your
products, and use your services. They will be your greatest brand advocates, they will be your
champions, and are worth more to you and your business than the rest of your customers
combined! Don't you agree?
The 80/20 rule is something that as a business
owner you need to be very aware of. The 80/20
rule or the law of the vital few says that for every
action we take 80% of your success comes from
20% of the work you put in.
It is particularly true when it comes to both your
business and more importantly, your customers.
In business we are taught that you have to
treat all customers equal. This however is one of the worst things you can do.
It is true that you should want to give your customers the best possible service and experience
you can, however to treat all of your customers as equals would be a mistake.
This is because all your customers are not equal. The 80/20 rule states that 80% of your
business will come from 20% of your customers. This might not be the exact percentage that
you operate at; however, it is definitely true that not all your customers are equal.
Your aim should be with the 20% of customers who make up 80% of your business, you want
to give them service that is so good, they never want to leave you and so they are so
impressed with your service that they massively increase their spend with you.
To extend this theory, your top 5% of customers could easily be
worth 10 times as much as all of your other customers combined,
so you should focus most heavily on making sure that
these customers get service that is above and
beyond what you would normally give.
Do you currently run a loyalty
program within your business?
If so, do you know:
Who makes up your top 20% of customers.
Who your top 100 customers are.
Who your top 10 customers are.
Who your single BEST customer is.
How often your best customers purchase from you.
What items your best customers purchase.
How much your best customers spend on average each visit.
The lifetime value of your best customers.
Whether you have lost any of your best customers this year.
If you don't know the answer to all of those questions then this document is perfect for
you. By using the techniques that you will learn within, you will be able to group and
list your customers exactly as needed to show your the answers to every question
here, and so much more!
Would you like to learn exactly who your BEST customers are?
Your Customers tell
you a lot about your
business.
Your idea of who your
ideal customer is
could be completely
wrong.
Lost Customers
How Many Customers Have You Lost:
At Premier EPOS we are focused on giving business owners like you the tools you require to grow
your business. We do things such as customisable sales screens, stock control systems with
automatic re-ordering and the ability to become intelligent and learn where you hold too much or
not enough stock, reporting, accounting facilities. We've also got a massive section on customer
loyalty, which we believe is the most important thing you will do within your business, it allows you
to know who your customers are, how they interact with our business and how we can use that
information to help those customers to spend more money with you within your business.
I have a number of businesses. I've got a couple of retail stores, where we massively use
customer loyalty, I've got Premier EPOS, where we help business owners use their loyalty
schemes to really grow their business and I've also got a marketing business called iVolution
Marketing, where we show you all the tips and techniques you need to use in your business and
how you can use that by targeting your loyalty card customers.
Although you may feel like you've not lost that many customers, I certainly felt that I hadn't lost that
many customers before I did my research. I consider myself to be very good at interacting with my
customers and contacting them and keeping them update on new products and what we're doing
to give them personalized information based on how they've interacted with the business.
Statistics show that the majority of businesses lose between 10% and 25% of their customer
base every year! Now they do of course bring in a lot of new customers throughout the year as
well otherwise businesses would never grow, but just think of all that lost potential.
Wouldn't it be nice to bring all that revenue back to your own business and away from the
competition?
However, no matter how good I think I am at it, I've still lost over a thousand customers within
the last 12 months. If you're in the situation where you've got a business but not got any type
of loyalty scheme, you’re not catching peoples information, or even if you are but you’re not
doing anything with it think about how many customers you could have possibly lost within the
last twelve months.
So, I am going to show you how I created
a list within one of my stores, and how I
used that information to generate a
massive amount of extra income for my
business over the Christmas period.
On our system you can create lists of customers who you want to target, for example, we
target people based on who our best customers are or whether they have stopped shopping
with us or bought a particular product or what their average spend is. You can focus on just
about anything that you can think about and get that information from our system and then
use it to build a list, which you can then use to target them, so customers are getting very
specific information and so are able to get information that they care about because it’s a
relevant to them.
When we create a list of customers who we've lost, we want to target people who've actually
interacted with our business and actually bought off us in the past. For example, if we target
people who have bought from us in the past, but have not bought from us in the past 12 months
we know that they were active customers at one point, so we can see how many we have
actually lost within the last 12-month period. To do this we look at customer statistics on our
system to see the number of visits between certain dates so we can see anyone who has more
than zero purchases/visits within the time frame. We also then add in the criteria that they've not
been in at all within the last 12-month period to see who hasn't been in at all in the last 12
months. We can then see how many customers we've lost within the business in the last 12
month (1287 in my case) or add more criteria, for example 'how many customers we've lost that
have spent more than £100 in the last 12 months' to specify the search.
Now, within my businesses we try to constantly interact with our customers to keep them
content, and most importantly LOYAL to the business. I want you to ask yourself if you have
given your customers the attention they deserve, have you contacted them enough, and have
you given them a personal experience with your business, because if you have not, then your
losses will be so much greater than mine were.
Research has shown that it take up to 7 times the cost and effort to bring in a new customer for
your business, as opposed to bringing an old customer back to your business. In order to keep
your customer churn rates low and maximize efficiency, try things like customer surveys, to
learn where your business is lacking in its interaction with your customer base.
Make sure that your employees are trained as well as they can be for all aspects of their role,
including dealing with customers so that your customer service is top notch. (I will be going over
this later.)
Price your products competitively (Remember, depending on your industry this doesn't always
mean cheaper products, sometimes the extra perceived value of a more expensive product will
be what leads to the eventual sale.) to make your customers WANT to use your business over
the competition.
Try not to get left in the dirt. If a new practice or
procedure comes in to play that your competition
is using and that you could be making use of,
do so as QUICKLY as possible to stop your
business from seeming antiquated.
Turning lost customers into cash:
When collecting information from a customer you want to collect as much information as you
can, for example their; name, postal address, email, mobile number etc. The more information
you collect the more you can use it to actually target customers and learn about the way they
interact within our business. On our system you can create a template and choose how you
would like to contact customers, whether it be by email, sending them a letter or a text message.
For example, within my business we chose to send a text message because from our experience
a text message gets the best response out of everything that we do. It gets the best response
not only in open rate but also in people actually coming in and using the voucher and showing
the text etc.
So we chose to use the text message because it’s very rare that someone doesn't open a text
message, whereas with an email where loads of people sometimes only select ones that they
think are junk and so ignore them. Using our system, we created the template for the text
message, there are also variables that we can put into the message where it will insert things
from the customer database. For example, in our template it said 'Hi' then 'First Name' so we
were able to insert a customer name from the database, this can be done with anything;
company name, surname etc. This therefore means that for every user you send the text
message to it will insert their name into the message to make it more personal and so they feel
as though they are getting the text message directly so a better response is achieved.
In the text message, we sent them an offer for £10 off to get them to come back, and attached
the voucher which was sent with the text message from our system. In order to encourage the
customer to come in and spend the voucher we added an element of scarcity and only made the
voucher valid for the upcoming weekend.
Initial Spend Return Spend
Total Spend
£5214
£1372
£6586
By using our system to send the text we could then see how many texts had been sent, who
they were sent to, who opened them, who didn't open them, who has changed their mobile
number and how many of the customers used the voucher in store. This means we can track
which customers we reactivated by sending that particular text.
This then allowed us to see what profit we had made from the reactivated customers. We sent
the text to 1287 which bought in a grand total of £6586 over the 30 days. Out of the 1287
customers, 133 of them came in and spent the voucher that weekend and although it may not
see like many, its over 10% of customers who came in and spent the voucher. This is a
reasonable response rate but since we were giving them a voucher so it’s in the general
percentage that most companies would give when giving that type of offer. All the customers
who came in spent a grand total of £5214. On average each customer spent £39.20 after their
voucher had been spent. This means that overall each customer spent £49.20 including the
voucher in store just by us producing that text.
Most people are sceptical about the idea of giving a voucher to their customers because they
worry they'll just go in and spend the amount the voucher is worth which may happen with the
odd customer. However, most people don't and will come in and spend more because they feel
obliged to return the favour you have given them with the voucher.
Of the 133 that came into the store and spent the voucher, 36 of those customers came back
into the store and spent money again, so have done repeat purchases over the same month. In
that time, they have spent a grand total of £1372, this takes the overall spend for that group of
customers for the whole month to £6586 within the 30 days from that one text message.
This all goes to show that if you have the database and actually use it there is so much money
and potential within your business. Most businesses would like an extra £6500 within their
income stream over a calendar month, this is a very useful extra bit of money that is mostly
profit. And most of all it has reactivated a group of customers which is cheaper than getting a
new group of customers and if you can keep the group of re-activated customers within the
business you will find they probably spend even more money over the year. This means there is
a lot of opportunity for your business to grow.
Industry Specific Customer List Examples
Here are a few examples of ways in which different industries can use specified
customer lists to market to the customers in these groups.
Example 1: Nightclub/bars/pubs
An example of a way you can group your customers if you are night, bar or pub is to make a list
of the people that for example, have bought spirits. You can then introduce an offer on spirts or
a specific spirt e.g. buy one drink get another free or market a new spirit to these people
because you know they like this type of drink. By doing this and personalising an offer or form of
communication will make it more likely to get these people back to your business.
Example 2: Vets
An example of a way a vets can use customer lists is to split their customers into different lists,
for example, one list of people could be those who have purchased flea products 3 months ago
but not in the last month. This would then give you the opportunity to get in touch with these
customers and tell them that it is time they got some flea products and treated their pet/s
against fleas. This will not only show you care and help them out but get them back into the vets
to purchase more flea products, hence retaining these customers and continuing to get more
business from them.
Example 3: Clothes Shop
A way in which a clothes store can use customer lists effectively is to target a list of customers
who have, for example, bought summer clothes last year but not this year. In this case, you
could get in contact for them showing them this year’s range of summer clothes to entice them
back into the store or give them an offer or tell them about certain discounts off the summer
clothes to persuade them to make a purchase and get them back buying from your company
this year.
Example 4: Pet Store
Most pet stores will have many different sections dedicated to different animals, therefore it’s a
good idea to separate customer into lists depending on the type of pet they have which you can
determine by the products they buy. For example, if you have a list of customers that buy
equine products them it is likely they have a horse and should be targeted with relevant pieces
of marketing. A way in which you could do this would be to get in contact with them and give
them nutritional information for example if most of them come to your store to buy horse feed.
You could even run an in-store event to get the customers back to the store and have a seminar
with a well-known nutritionist from one of the feed brands.
Example 5: Garden Centre
Customer lists in garden centres are generally made using
the buying habits of the customers and can be split into so
many different things, for example, one list could be made
up of customers that have bought a BBQ but not bought any
garden furniture. In this case, the garden centre could then
use this list to target the customers who have only bought the BBQ and market the garden
furniture to them, showing them how the items compliment the BBQ and can be of use to the
customer. Some stores could even give them a discount on the furniture to get them back into the
store and making more purchases.
Example 6: Restaurant
A really great bit of information a restaurant can collect from its customers is their anniversaries if
they are married since so many couples go out to celebrate it’s a big market for this industry.
Therefore, customers who you know the anniversary of can be split into different lists depending
on the month that it’s in. You could therefore then
use the lists to target people with an anniversary
coming up in the next month and get them to come to
your reset aunt to celebrate it.
Example 7: Take Away
When it comes to businesses such as takeaways a
good example of how you can put customers into lists is to group them depending on when they
order or come in to buy food from you. For example, if there is a group of customers who only
order on a weekday then you could send them an offer to use on a weekday or inform them of
weekday-only offers to persuade them to come in at the time they don’t usually.
Example 8: Electronics Store
For an electronics store while grouping customers based on the purchases they make is a good
way to form customer lists another great way to do as well is to group people based on the
services they have purchased as well. For example, if a customer bought a TV 3 years ago and
the warranty is up you can contact them and ask if they want to renew it. It’s very unlikely
customers will keep track of when things like that are running out and by you tracing it and
informing them of it and giving them the option to renew means it's likely they’ll take you up on it
and it, therefore, brings in more money and keeps the customers using your business.
Example 9: Wholesalers
With many wholesalers, you will find that unlike just bricks and mortar stores that they sell online
as well as in-store. Making a list of customers who buy online versus offline is one of the ways
customers can be grouped. For example, for the group of customers who have purchased online
or over the phone but have never come into store could be targeted with in-store only offers to get
them coming in as well.
Example 10: Plumbers merchants
For businesses like plumbers merchants the amount spent is a good way to split customers into
lists but another good way which can be used alongside this is to group them based on what they
have bought and when. For example, if there is a customer who bought a boiler 1 year ago but
haven’t booked in a service on it then by keeping track of this you can remind them that the boiler
is due a service. By doing this there is more of a guarantee that they’ll use you for it, hence
increasing income and keeping the relationship with the customer so they stay with you.
Example 11: Country store/farm shop
For country stores and farm shops and good way to make customer lists is to base them on
purchases, for example, having a list for customers who have bought something from the farm
shop but not the café would give you a great opportunity to then tell them about the café, what
kind of food is sold there, even give them a voucher with a discount. This gives you the chance
the get them expanding their purchasing into more sections of the business.
Example 12: Attractions
With attractions such as zoos, airkix, car experiences etc. there are loads of customer lists that
can be made to group customers, an example of one is have a
list of all of the visitors that have previously bought a season t
ticket but haven’t yet this season. This then gives an attraction
the opportunity to market to these customers any offers they
have on season tickets at the moment, any new attractions or
improvements that have been added recently that could
persuade them to not only return but also buy the season ticket again this year.
Example 13: Supermarkets
Supermarkets can make customer lists based on loads of things from the location of their
customers, to the gender of the customers, to whether they buy online or in-store, to the types of
products they purchase. For example, if a customer has purchased Coca Cola in the past then
you could target them with offers on the drink that are happening that week to get them to keep
buying it from you.
Example 14: Convenience store/newsagents
One of the main focuses of a newsagents or convenience store is obviously to sell newspapers or
deliver them, therefore an example of a customer list is people have purchased newspapers in
store. Since you know they are a recurring customer and coming into store often you could then
market other items to them to try and get their average spend per visit to increase.
Example 15: Computer Store
An example of a customer list that a computer store could group their customers into is people
who have bought a computer but never bought the accessories. Tracking peoples purchases is
really important when categorising customers so know all of the products can really help in
targeting them. Like in this example, because you know they have the computer but not the
accessories you can then market these to them.
Example 16: Phone store
Phone stores sell so many different types of and brands of phones that splitting customers up into
lists depending on which one they have purchased is a good way to group customers. For
example, if all of the people who have bought an iPhone are in one
list then you can target them with the relevant accessories such as
phone cases, screen protectors etc.
Example 17: Bike Shops
Customer lists don’t actually just have to be made up of people that have in fact made a purchase
from you. While you will need to form customer lists for people that have you can also make lists
for leads, for example, at a bike shop if someone has inquired about a bike then they can go into
a list where further marketing is done to try and persuade them to buy the bike they were looking
at.
Example 18: Shed Companies
Putting customers into a list once they have purchased from you is great for re-marketing but in
somewhere like a shed company putting them straight into a list when they order a product for
example but have not yet received it gives you a great opportunity to up-sell to them. For
example, if a customer have ordered a shed but only ordered basic window fittings then you can
market the upgrade fittings and try to sell it to them before they actually receive the shed, hence
increasing the profit you are making from the sale.
Example 19: Groomers
A groomers, while being more of a service based example business as opposed to selling a
physical product customer lists are still important to organise customer and the services they
have had for their pets. Some groomers do sell products so customer lists can be made to group
people based on purchasing but when it comes to the service an
example of a customer list is customers who had had their dog
groomed within the past month but are not booked in for their next
groom. Having a list of people who’s dogs are probably due a
groom can help you to recognise this and then contact those
customers informing them of how long ago they were last groomed
and so do they want to book one in.
Example 20: Software as a service
Software as a service businesses, while selling software generally offer other services such as
support and hardware that compliments the software. An example of a customer list this type of
business could use is people who have just purchased the software. Putting these customers into
lists gives you the opportunity to recognise them and means you can then offer them the
complimentary services such as support or training material, or the equipment you sell to go with
it instead of them buying it from somewhere as this will increase your revenue and form long-
term, loyal relationships with customers.
Example 21: Business advice organisations
Business advice organisations are businesses that while they don’t provide a physical product for
their customers still have customers making purchases on things such as online courses. An
example of how customer lists can be formed from this is people who have done a course on
business growth but haven’t done a course on social media. Keeping track of the courses
customers have completed and putting them into different lists then helps you to see what
courses they haven’t yet done but will complement their previous ones and advise them on doing
as well. This not only increases revenue for you by them completing another course but shows
the customer you get to know them as individuals which build up a rapport with them, hence
forming long-term relationships.
Example 22: Coffee Shop
Most coffee shops will give their customers the option to either sit in or take out. Therefore, an
example of a good customer list is the people to generally take
their coffee to go and cater offers for your take out items to them
as there may be some products that cannot be taken out. By
introducing the extra products that can go alongside their coffee
and be taken out will help them to be noticed and if bought
increase their average spend.
Example 23: Baby Store
For a baby store, there will be lots of different sets of customers for example, people expecting a
baby, people who have got a new-born, got a toddler etc. Splitting these customers into different
lists will help to market relevant products to them, for example, if you have a list of customers that
have had a baby then you can target them with new-born items and market any current offers on
to get them in-store or purchasing online.
Example 24: Chocolate Store
An example of a customer list a chocolate store could use is
putting customers who have visited more than 10 times into a list
and then targeting them with an offer e.g. £5 off when they come
in or their 11th time. This, therefore, helps in getting them back into
the store again and again but also rewards them for being a loyal
customer and purchasing off you so many time which builds good relationships with those
customers.
Example 25: Computer games/electronic businesses
Sine in the world of gaming there is constantly new products being released an example of a
good customer list is people who have bought a previous version of a game e.g. call of duty. This
then means you can target them with the latest version and get them to come and purchase it
from you.
Example 26: Pawnbrokers
Pawnbrokers generally have to sets of customers, the ones who pawn items and the ones who
buy those items. Since this is very broad there are many customer lists that can be created from
these two groups, an example of one being customers who have pawned items worth over £500.
Keeping these customers collated in a list then means you can target them with the success of
their items and get them to bring more items in to be sold by you as these will be the ones that
make the most money hence, increasing revenue.
Example 27: Builders Merchants
A customer list that a builder's merchants could group their customers into is people who
have businesses within a certain area and have bought from you before but have not made an
order this time. Therefore, if you can see that these people haven’t ordered but you're going near
their location you can target them with an offer e.g. free delivery if they put in an order. This way
you are getting purchases and increasing income but not actually losing any money taking it to
them because you are already going there.
Example 28: Fabric Store
A fabric store, much like a general retail store obviously sell a number of different items e.g.
fabric, wool, accessories etc. therefore one way you can group customers into lists is to base it
what they have bought. For example, customers who have bought wool. You could then use this
list to target accessories relating to wool and that could be of use to these customers at them,
which will hopefully get them to buy them as well, increasing the profit being made from them.
Example 29: DIY Superstore/discount store
An example of a customer list that a DIY superstore/discount store could create is people who
have bought power tools. If you know that a customer has bought a power tool then you can
assume they will need other things that complement the product e.g. if they buy a drill they will
most likely need screws. Therefore, you can target them with these other products or even offer
them a discount because they have already bought the power tools to get them making repeat
purchases from you rather than going somewhere else to get them.
Example 30: Caravan Park
A caravan park while not selling a physical product or even service
as such still get customers and should organise them through
customer lists. An example of a list is people who have had multiple
visits to the site. Since these are repeat customers, you will want to
reward them for their loyalty as well as get them back to the site
once again which could be done by giving them a discount for their
next booking for example, or an extra night free of charge.
Example 31: Juice bar
Many stores, like juice bars for example, offer loyalty programs for their customers. Therefore,
customer lists can be created from this e.g. people who are close to getting a free juice on the
loyalty program. If you know they are close to getting it you can contact them telling them that if
for example, they buy another juice they’ll get another one free it helps in enticing them back to
the store and making a purchase.
Example 32: Charity shop
Charity shops, while having the customers who buy the donated goods also have the people who
donate them, therefore while splitting the
actual buying customers into lists, the others
can be grouped a swell. An example of a list a
charity store could create is people who have
donated goods last year. They could then use this list to remind them to donate again this year
and remind them to use their charity as opposed to another.
Example 33: Snowboarding & outdoor pursuits
Snowboarding & outdoor pursuits is another form of a retail
store that can benefit from spitting customers into lists, for
example, people who have spent over £3000 in store. If you
know who the customers are that have spent over a certain
amount then you can reward them for spending so much and
being a repeat/loyal customer to your store. This could be
through giving them a money off voucher or giving them a free item based on their previous
purchases etc.
Example 34: Soap Stores
Soap stores while seeming like a very narrow market sell loads of different types of items,
therefore tracking which products are bought by an individual customer or how much they have
spent is important for marketing to them in the future. An example of a customer list for a soap
store is people who have bought bath bombs but never soap. Therefore, you could then target
these people with soaps that compliment the bath bombs they have previously bought or
introduce soap similar to the bath bombs that they might be interested in to get them back to the
store and making more purchases.
Example 35: Gun clubs
An example of a customer list a gun club could make use of is people who were members but
have stopped their membership. While getting new customers is important it’s also extremely
useful if businesses can see if they are losing customers and then get them back. In this case if
the gun club can see that people are no longer members then they can act on this and send them
offers or discounts on renewing their membership, for example, to get them back into the club.
Example 36: Card shops/gift stores
Keeping track of people’s purchases and when they make them can be extremely useful for a
business like a card shop/gift store. For example, creating a customer list of people who bought a
birthday card this month last year can then be used to target these people and for example, ask
them if they are looking for a birthday card again and show them the current ones you’ve got in at
the moment.
Example 37: Car garages
Organising customers is extremely important for car garages because they have customers
coming in for loads of different services. An example of a customer list they could make use of is
people who have not had their car serviced in the past
12 months. By targeting these people and informing
them that they need their car servicing it not only
reminds them but also puts your business in the
forefront of their minds when it comes to booking it in
so hopefully they chose to go with you.
Example 38: Cattery/boarding kennels
A customer list that a cattery/boarding kennels could use to group their customers is people who
have boarded an animal in the past month. By keeping track of previous customers and getting in
touch with them soon after they have made a purchase or in this case used your service, thanking
them for using you for example or offering them a discount for the next time they board their
animal with you makes them feel valued and entices them to use you again.
Example 39: Equestrian Stores
An example of a customer list an equestrian store could
create is people who had deliveries. This could then be used
to offer then discounts or any current offers on delivery, for
example, £1 next day delivery to encourage them to order
again.
Example 40: Hairdresser Wholesale
Since most hairdresser wholesalers sell online as well as in-store customer lists are a great way
to track the customers who use each service as well as other things. An example being
customers who purchase off the website. Having a list of all of these people then enables the
hairdresser to target them with any information or adverts on in-store events that could then not
only get them into the store but also build a relationship with the customers.

  • 3. WHAT AM I GOING TO LEARN? In this document you will learn all of the different ways you can organise customers into groups and then market to them effectively. Inside is every customer list for loads of different business models with examples to help you implement them into your own company and fit them to match your products and customers.  Not only is there hundreds of lists for you to make use of but all the information you need to know about finding out who your best customers are, who your worst ones are and things to think about within your loyalty scheme if you are currently running one.  FIGURE 1. Seperating your customers into different lists will allow you to deliver a much more personalised experience to them, both in-store and through your matketing which will build loyalty, and keep your customers happy! K R I S B A R K Managing Director - Premier EPOS, iVolution Marketing
  • 4. Best Customers 20% Worst Customers 80% Profit 80% Profit 20% Your Best Customers & the 80/20 Rule Your best customers will keep coming back to your business time after time to purchase your products, and use your services. They will be your greatest brand advocates, they will be your champions, and are worth more to you and your business than the rest of your customers combined! Don't you agree? The 80/20 rule is something that as a business owner you need to be very aware of. The 80/20 rule or the law of the vital few says that for every action we take 80% of your success comes from 20% of the work you put in. It is particularly true when it comes to both your business and more importantly, your customers. In business we are taught that you have to treat all customers equal. This however is one of the worst things you can do. It is true that you should want to give your customers the best possible service and experience you can, however to treat all of your customers as equals would be a mistake. This is because all your customers are not equal. The 80/20 rule states that 80% of your business will come from 20% of your customers. This might not be the exact percentage that you operate at; however, it is definitely true that not all your customers are equal. Your aim should be with the 20% of customers who make up 80% of your business, you want to give them service that is so good, they never want to leave you and so they are so impressed with your service that they massively increase their spend with you. To extend this theory, your top 5% of customers could easily be worth 10 times as much as all of your other customers combined, so you should focus most heavily on making sure that these customers get service that is above and beyond what you would normally give.
  • 5. Do you currently run a loyalty program within your business? If so, do you know: Who makes up your top 20% of customers. Who your top 100 customers are. Who your top 10 customers are. Who your single BEST customer is. How often your best customers purchase from you. What items your best customers purchase. How much your best customers spend on average each visit. The lifetime value of your best customers. Whether you have lost any of your best customers this year. If you don't know the answer to all of those questions then this document is perfect for you. By using the techniques that you will learn within, you will be able to group and list your customers exactly as needed to show your the answers to every question here, and so much more! Would you like to learn exactly who your BEST customers are? Your Customers tell you a lot about your business. Your idea of who your ideal customer is could be completely wrong.
  • 6. Lost Customers How Many Customers Have You Lost: At Premier EPOS we are focused on giving business owners like you the tools you require to grow your business. We do things such as customisable sales screens, stock control systems with automatic re-ordering and the ability to become intelligent and learn where you hold too much or not enough stock, reporting, accounting facilities. We've also got a massive section on customer loyalty, which we believe is the most important thing you will do within your business, it allows you to know who your customers are, how they interact with our business and how we can use that information to help those customers to spend more money with you within your business. I have a number of businesses. I've got a couple of retail stores, where we massively use customer loyalty, I've got Premier EPOS, where we help business owners use their loyalty schemes to really grow their business and I've also got a marketing business called iVolution Marketing, where we show you all the tips and techniques you need to use in your business and how you can use that by targeting your loyalty card customers. Although you may feel like you've not lost that many customers, I certainly felt that I hadn't lost that many customers before I did my research. I consider myself to be very good at interacting with my customers and contacting them and keeping them update on new products and what we're doing to give them personalized information based on how they've interacted with the business. Statistics show that the majority of businesses lose between 10% and 25% of their customer base every year! Now they do of course bring in a lot of new customers throughout the year as well otherwise businesses would never grow, but just think of all that lost potential. Wouldn't it be nice to bring all that revenue back to your own business and away from the competition?
  • 7. However, no matter how good I think I am at it, I've still lost over a thousand customers within the last 12 months. If you're in the situation where you've got a business but not got any type of loyalty scheme, you’re not catching peoples information, or even if you are but you’re not doing anything with it think about how many customers you could have possibly lost within the last twelve months. So, I am going to show you how I created a list within one of my stores, and how I used that information to generate a massive amount of extra income for my business over the Christmas period. On our system you can create lists of customers who you want to target, for example, we target people based on who our best customers are or whether they have stopped shopping with us or bought a particular product or what their average spend is. You can focus on just about anything that you can think about and get that information from our system and then use it to build a list, which you can then use to target them, so customers are getting very specific information and so are able to get information that they care about because it’s a relevant to them.
  • 8. When we create a list of customers who we've lost, we want to target people who've actually interacted with our business and actually bought off us in the past. For example, if we target people who have bought from us in the past, but have not bought from us in the past 12 months we know that they were active customers at one point, so we can see how many we have actually lost within the last 12-month period. To do this we look at customer statistics on our system to see the number of visits between certain dates so we can see anyone who has more than zero purchases/visits within the time frame. We also then add in the criteria that they've not been in at all within the last 12-month period to see who hasn't been in at all in the last 12 months. We can then see how many customers we've lost within the business in the last 12 month (1287 in my case) or add more criteria, for example 'how many customers we've lost that have spent more than £100 in the last 12 months' to specify the search. Now, within my businesses we try to constantly interact with our customers to keep them content, and most importantly LOYAL to the business. I want you to ask yourself if you have given your customers the attention they deserve, have you contacted them enough, and have you given them a personal experience with your business, because if you have not, then your losses will be so much greater than mine were. Research has shown that it take up to 7 times the cost and effort to bring in a new customer for your business, as opposed to bringing an old customer back to your business. In order to keep your customer churn rates low and maximize efficiency, try things like customer surveys, to learn where your business is lacking in its interaction with your customer base. Make sure that your employees are trained as well as they can be for all aspects of their role, including dealing with customers so that your customer service is top notch. (I will be going over this later.) Price your products competitively (Remember, depending on your industry this doesn't always mean cheaper products, sometimes the extra perceived value of a more expensive product will be what leads to the eventual sale.) to make your customers WANT to use your business over the competition. Try not to get left in the dirt. If a new practice or procedure comes in to play that your competition is using and that you could be making use of, do so as QUICKLY as possible to stop your business from seeming antiquated.
  • 9. Turning lost customers into cash: When collecting information from a customer you want to collect as much information as you can, for example their; name, postal address, email, mobile number etc. The more information you collect the more you can use it to actually target customers and learn about the way they interact within our business. On our system you can create a template and choose how you would like to contact customers, whether it be by email, sending them a letter or a text message. For example, within my business we chose to send a text message because from our experience a text message gets the best response out of everything that we do. It gets the best response not only in open rate but also in people actually coming in and using the voucher and showing the text etc. So we chose to use the text message because it’s very rare that someone doesn't open a text message, whereas with an email where loads of people sometimes only select ones that they think are junk and so ignore them. Using our system, we created the template for the text message, there are also variables that we can put into the message where it will insert things from the customer database. For example, in our template it said 'Hi' then 'First Name' so we were able to insert a customer name from the database, this can be done with anything; company name, surname etc. This therefore means that for every user you send the text message to it will insert their name into the message to make it more personal and so they feel as though they are getting the text message directly so a better response is achieved. In the text message, we sent them an offer for £10 off to get them to come back, and attached the voucher which was sent with the text message from our system. In order to encourage the customer to come in and spend the voucher we added an element of scarcity and only made the voucher valid for the upcoming weekend.
  • 10. Initial Spend Return Spend Total Spend £5214 £1372 £6586 By using our system to send the text we could then see how many texts had been sent, who they were sent to, who opened them, who didn't open them, who has changed their mobile number and how many of the customers used the voucher in store. This means we can track which customers we reactivated by sending that particular text. This then allowed us to see what profit we had made from the reactivated customers. We sent the text to 1287 which bought in a grand total of £6586 over the 30 days. Out of the 1287 customers, 133 of them came in and spent the voucher that weekend and although it may not see like many, its over 10% of customers who came in and spent the voucher. This is a reasonable response rate but since we were giving them a voucher so it’s in the general percentage that most companies would give when giving that type of offer. All the customers who came in spent a grand total of £5214. On average each customer spent £39.20 after their voucher had been spent. This means that overall each customer spent £49.20 including the voucher in store just by us producing that text. Most people are sceptical about the idea of giving a voucher to their customers because they worry they'll just go in and spend the amount the voucher is worth which may happen with the odd customer. However, most people don't and will come in and spend more because they feel obliged to return the favour you have given them with the voucher. Of the 133 that came into the store and spent the voucher, 36 of those customers came back into the store and spent money again, so have done repeat purchases over the same month. In that time, they have spent a grand total of £1372, this takes the overall spend for that group of customers for the whole month to £6586 within the 30 days from that one text message. This all goes to show that if you have the database and actually use it there is so much money and potential within your business. Most businesses would like an extra £6500 within their income stream over a calendar month, this is a very useful extra bit of money that is mostly profit. And most of all it has reactivated a group of customers which is cheaper than getting a new group of customers and if you can keep the group of re-activated customers within the business you will find they probably spend even more money over the year. This means there is a lot of opportunity for your business to grow.
  • 11. Industry Specific Customer List Examples Here are a few examples of ways in which different industries can use specified customer lists to market to the customers in these groups. Example 1: Nightclub/bars/pubs An example of a way you can group your customers if you are night, bar or pub is to make a list of the people that for example, have bought spirits. You can then introduce an offer on spirts or a specific spirt e.g. buy one drink get another free or market a new spirit to these people because you know they like this type of drink. By doing this and personalising an offer or form of communication will make it more likely to get these people back to your business. Example 2: Vets An example of a way a vets can use customer lists is to split their customers into different lists, for example, one list of people could be those who have purchased flea products 3 months ago but not in the last month. This would then give you the opportunity to get in touch with these customers and tell them that it is time they got some flea products and treated their pet/s against fleas. This will not only show you care and help them out but get them back into the vets to purchase more flea products, hence retaining these customers and continuing to get more business from them. Example 3: Clothes Shop A way in which a clothes store can use customer lists effectively is to target a list of customers who have, for example, bought summer clothes last year but not this year. In this case, you could get in contact for them showing them this year’s range of summer clothes to entice them back into the store or give them an offer or tell them about certain discounts off the summer clothes to persuade them to make a purchase and get them back buying from your company this year. Example 4: Pet Store Most pet stores will have many different sections dedicated to different animals, therefore it’s a good idea to separate customer into lists depending on the type of pet they have which you can determine by the products they buy. For example, if you have a list of customers that buy equine products them it is likely they have a horse and should be targeted with relevant pieces of marketing. A way in which you could do this would be to get in contact with them and give them nutritional information for example if most of them come to your store to buy horse feed. You could even run an in-store event to get the customers back to the store and have a seminar with a well-known nutritionist from one of the feed brands. Example 5: Garden Centre Customer lists in garden centres are generally made using the buying habits of the customers and can be split into so many different things, for example, one list could be made up of customers that have bought a BBQ but not bought any garden furniture. In this case, the garden centre could then
  • 12. use this list to target the customers who have only bought the BBQ and market the garden furniture to them, showing them how the items compliment the BBQ and can be of use to the customer. Some stores could even give them a discount on the furniture to get them back into the store and making more purchases. Example 6: Restaurant A really great bit of information a restaurant can collect from its customers is their anniversaries if they are married since so many couples go out to celebrate it’s a big market for this industry. Therefore, customers who you know the anniversary of can be split into different lists depending on the month that it’s in. You could therefore then use the lists to target people with an anniversary coming up in the next month and get them to come to your reset aunt to celebrate it. Example 7: Take Away When it comes to businesses such as takeaways a good example of how you can put customers into lists is to group them depending on when they order or come in to buy food from you. For example, if there is a group of customers who only order on a weekday then you could send them an offer to use on a weekday or inform them of weekday-only offers to persuade them to come in at the time they don’t usually. Example 8: Electronics Store For an electronics store while grouping customers based on the purchases they make is a good way to form customer lists another great way to do as well is to group people based on the services they have purchased as well. For example, if a customer bought a TV 3 years ago and the warranty is up you can contact them and ask if they want to renew it. It’s very unlikely customers will keep track of when things like that are running out and by you tracing it and informing them of it and giving them the option to renew means it's likely they’ll take you up on it and it, therefore, brings in more money and keeps the customers using your business. Example 9: Wholesalers With many wholesalers, you will find that unlike just bricks and mortar stores that they sell online as well as in-store. Making a list of customers who buy online versus offline is one of the ways customers can be grouped. For example, for the group of customers who have purchased online or over the phone but have never come into store could be targeted with in-store only offers to get them coming in as well. Example 10: Plumbers merchants For businesses like plumbers merchants the amount spent is a good way to split customers into lists but another good way which can be used alongside this is to group them based on what they have bought and when. For example, if there is a customer who bought a boiler 1 year ago but haven’t booked in a service on it then by keeping track of this you can remind them that the boiler is due a service. By doing this there is more of a guarantee that they’ll use you for it, hence increasing income and keeping the relationship with the customer so they stay with you.
  • 13. Example 11: Country store/farm shop For country stores and farm shops and good way to make customer lists is to base them on purchases, for example, having a list for customers who have bought something from the farm shop but not the café would give you a great opportunity to then tell them about the café, what kind of food is sold there, even give them a voucher with a discount. This gives you the chance the get them expanding their purchasing into more sections of the business. Example 12: Attractions With attractions such as zoos, airkix, car experiences etc. there are loads of customer lists that can be made to group customers, an example of one is have a list of all of the visitors that have previously bought a season t ticket but haven’t yet this season. This then gives an attraction the opportunity to market to these customers any offers they have on season tickets at the moment, any new attractions or improvements that have been added recently that could persuade them to not only return but also buy the season ticket again this year. Example 13: Supermarkets Supermarkets can make customer lists based on loads of things from the location of their customers, to the gender of the customers, to whether they buy online or in-store, to the types of products they purchase. For example, if a customer has purchased Coca Cola in the past then you could target them with offers on the drink that are happening that week to get them to keep buying it from you. Example 14: Convenience store/newsagents One of the main focuses of a newsagents or convenience store is obviously to sell newspapers or deliver them, therefore an example of a customer list is people have purchased newspapers in store. Since you know they are a recurring customer and coming into store often you could then market other items to them to try and get their average spend per visit to increase. Example 15: Computer Store An example of a customer list that a computer store could group their customers into is people who have bought a computer but never bought the accessories. Tracking peoples purchases is really important when categorising customers so know all of the products can really help in targeting them. Like in this example, because you know they have the computer but not the accessories you can then market these to them. Example 16: Phone store Phone stores sell so many different types of and brands of phones that splitting customers up into lists depending on which one they have purchased is a good way to group customers. For example, if all of the people who have bought an iPhone are in one list then you can target them with the relevant accessories such as phone cases, screen protectors etc.
  • 14. Example 17: Bike Shops Customer lists don’t actually just have to be made up of people that have in fact made a purchase from you. While you will need to form customer lists for people that have you can also make lists for leads, for example, at a bike shop if someone has inquired about a bike then they can go into a list where further marketing is done to try and persuade them to buy the bike they were looking at. Example 18: Shed Companies Putting customers into a list once they have purchased from you is great for re-marketing but in somewhere like a shed company putting them straight into a list when they order a product for example but have not yet received it gives you a great opportunity to up-sell to them. For example, if a customer have ordered a shed but only ordered basic window fittings then you can market the upgrade fittings and try to sell it to them before they actually receive the shed, hence increasing the profit you are making from the sale. Example 19: Groomers A groomers, while being more of a service based example business as opposed to selling a physical product customer lists are still important to organise customer and the services they have had for their pets. Some groomers do sell products so customer lists can be made to group people based on purchasing but when it comes to the service an example of a customer list is customers who had had their dog groomed within the past month but are not booked in for their next groom. Having a list of people who’s dogs are probably due a groom can help you to recognise this and then contact those customers informing them of how long ago they were last groomed and so do they want to book one in. Example 20: Software as a service Software as a service businesses, while selling software generally offer other services such as support and hardware that compliments the software. An example of a customer list this type of business could use is people who have just purchased the software. Putting these customers into lists gives you the opportunity to recognise them and means you can then offer them the complimentary services such as support or training material, or the equipment you sell to go with it instead of them buying it from somewhere as this will increase your revenue and form long- term, loyal relationships with customers. Example 21: Business advice organisations Business advice organisations are businesses that while they don’t provide a physical product for their customers still have customers making purchases on things such as online courses. An example of how customer lists can be formed from this is people who have done a course on business growth but haven’t done a course on social media. Keeping track of the courses customers have completed and putting them into different lists then helps you to see what courses they haven’t yet done but will complement their previous ones and advise them on doing as well. This not only increases revenue for you by them completing another course but shows
  • 15. the customer you get to know them as individuals which build up a rapport with them, hence forming long-term relationships. Example 22: Coffee Shop Most coffee shops will give their customers the option to either sit in or take out. Therefore, an example of a good customer list is the people to generally take their coffee to go and cater offers for your take out items to them as there may be some products that cannot be taken out. By introducing the extra products that can go alongside their coffee and be taken out will help them to be noticed and if bought increase their average spend. Example 23: Baby Store For a baby store, there will be lots of different sets of customers for example, people expecting a baby, people who have got a new-born, got a toddler etc. Splitting these customers into different lists will help to market relevant products to them, for example, if you have a list of customers that have had a baby then you can target them with new-born items and market any current offers on to get them in-store or purchasing online. Example 24: Chocolate Store An example of a customer list a chocolate store could use is putting customers who have visited more than 10 times into a list and then targeting them with an offer e.g. £5 off when they come in or their 11th time. This, therefore, helps in getting them back into the store again and again but also rewards them for being a loyal customer and purchasing off you so many time which builds good relationships with those customers. Example 25: Computer games/electronic businesses Sine in the world of gaming there is constantly new products being released an example of a good customer list is people who have bought a previous version of a game e.g. call of duty. This then means you can target them with the latest version and get them to come and purchase it from you. Example 26: Pawnbrokers Pawnbrokers generally have to sets of customers, the ones who pawn items and the ones who buy those items. Since this is very broad there are many customer lists that can be created from these two groups, an example of one being customers who have pawned items worth over £500. Keeping these customers collated in a list then means you can target them with the success of their items and get them to bring more items in to be sold by you as these will be the ones that make the most money hence, increasing revenue. Example 27: Builders Merchants A customer list that a builder's merchants could group their customers into is people who have businesses within a certain area and have bought from you before but have not made an
  • 16. order this time. Therefore, if you can see that these people haven’t ordered but you're going near their location you can target them with an offer e.g. free delivery if they put in an order. This way you are getting purchases and increasing income but not actually losing any money taking it to them because you are already going there. Example 28: Fabric Store A fabric store, much like a general retail store obviously sell a number of different items e.g. fabric, wool, accessories etc. therefore one way you can group customers into lists is to base it what they have bought. For example, customers who have bought wool. You could then use this list to target accessories relating to wool and that could be of use to these customers at them, which will hopefully get them to buy them as well, increasing the profit being made from them. Example 29: DIY Superstore/discount store An example of a customer list that a DIY superstore/discount store could create is people who have bought power tools. If you know that a customer has bought a power tool then you can assume they will need other things that complement the product e.g. if they buy a drill they will most likely need screws. Therefore, you can target them with these other products or even offer them a discount because they have already bought the power tools to get them making repeat purchases from you rather than going somewhere else to get them. Example 30: Caravan Park A caravan park while not selling a physical product or even service as such still get customers and should organise them through customer lists. An example of a list is people who have had multiple visits to the site. Since these are repeat customers, you will want to reward them for their loyalty as well as get them back to the site once again which could be done by giving them a discount for their next booking for example, or an extra night free of charge. Example 31: Juice bar Many stores, like juice bars for example, offer loyalty programs for their customers. Therefore, customer lists can be created from this e.g. people who are close to getting a free juice on the loyalty program. If you know they are close to getting it you can contact them telling them that if for example, they buy another juice they’ll get another one free it helps in enticing them back to the store and making a purchase. Example 32: Charity shop Charity shops, while having the customers who buy the donated goods also have the people who donate them, therefore while splitting the actual buying customers into lists, the others can be grouped a swell. An example of a list a charity store could create is people who have donated goods last year. They could then use this list to remind them to donate again this year and remind them to use their charity as opposed to another.
  • 17. Example 33: Snowboarding & outdoor pursuits Snowboarding & outdoor pursuits is another form of a retail store that can benefit from spitting customers into lists, for example, people who have spent over £3000 in store. If you know who the customers are that have spent over a certain amount then you can reward them for spending so much and being a repeat/loyal customer to your store. This could be through giving them a money off voucher or giving them a free item based on their previous purchases etc. Example 34: Soap Stores Soap stores while seeming like a very narrow market sell loads of different types of items, therefore tracking which products are bought by an individual customer or how much they have spent is important for marketing to them in the future. An example of a customer list for a soap store is people who have bought bath bombs but never soap. Therefore, you could then target these people with soaps that compliment the bath bombs they have previously bought or introduce soap similar to the bath bombs that they might be interested in to get them back to the store and making more purchases. Example 35: Gun clubs An example of a customer list a gun club could make use of is people who were members but have stopped their membership. While getting new customers is important it’s also extremely useful if businesses can see if they are losing customers and then get them back. In this case if the gun club can see that people are no longer members then they can act on this and send them offers or discounts on renewing their membership, for example, to get them back into the club. Example 36: Card shops/gift stores Keeping track of people’s purchases and when they make them can be extremely useful for a business like a card shop/gift store. For example, creating a customer list of people who bought a birthday card this month last year can then be used to target these people and for example, ask them if they are looking for a birthday card again and show them the current ones you’ve got in at the moment. Example 37: Car garages Organising customers is extremely important for car garages because they have customers coming in for loads of different services. An example of a customer list they could make use of is people who have not had their car serviced in the past 12 months. By targeting these people and informing them that they need their car servicing it not only reminds them but also puts your business in the forefront of their minds when it comes to booking it in so hopefully they chose to go with you.
  • 18. Example 38: Cattery/boarding kennels A customer list that a cattery/boarding kennels could use to group their customers is people who have boarded an animal in the past month. By keeping track of previous customers and getting in touch with them soon after they have made a purchase or in this case used your service, thanking them for using you for example or offering them a discount for the next time they board their animal with you makes them feel valued and entices them to use you again. Example 39: Equestrian Stores An example of a customer list an equestrian store could create is people who had deliveries. This could then be used to offer then discounts or any current offers on delivery, for example, £1 next day delivery to encourage them to order again. Example 40: Hairdresser Wholesale Since most hairdresser wholesalers sell online as well as in-store customer lists are a great way to track the customers who use each service as well as other things. An example being customers who purchase off the website. Having a list of all of these people then enables the hairdresser to target them with any information or adverts on in-store events that could then not only get them into the store but also build a relationship with the customers.
