Get Customers Hooked


Here are six tips for turning happy customers into an army of brand advocates:

1. Turn receipts into customer feedback questionnaires.

Your in-store purchase receipts are a guaranteed point-of-contact with most satisfied customers. Think about it: they’ve liked your products enough to buy them.
