Holding on to existing customers is much easier than getting new clients in the door, while it is constantly significant to keep expanding your customer base and bringing in new diners, most restaurant owners focus too much energy on, and spend too big a portion of their marketing on new customers at the expense of not continuing their existing customers, with a good restaurant loyalty program in place, this does not have to be the case. A loyalty program is applicable for all levels of restaurant service and style, many restaurant owners who operate more upscale establishments conceive that loyalty programs are but for bargain hunters and fast food type restaurants, but this is not the case, a well contrived and appropriately themed loyalty marketing plan will go for any establishment and can bring a tremendous return on investment in conditions of increasing both frequence of visits and per ticket averages. The loyalty program should be very easy to join, this entails customers should have to grant a minimum of info, and it should be very easy to impart, often this means a card to sign up is represented with the check at the end of the meal, it should not ask for more than a name and an email address or mailing address. To increase the conversion rate; that is the number of people who sign up, the reward should be inviting enough, the most compelling reward is an instant discount on the current check, or an instant reward such a comped dessert or beverage. To be efficient the follow up must be steady and offer the customers a compelling grounds to come back in, this does not necessarily have to be a discount, though it often is at many restaurants, being more creative, however, can often pay even bigger dividends, for instance, an invitation to a special menu night, a themed event night or a special dessert or other treat event is going to draw interest without requiring a discount or other profit reducing measures.
