Forbes Expert Panel Feature: 15 Foolproof Strategies For Encouraging Repeat Purchases

If you’re like many business owners, you spend a lot of time, energy and money on customer acquisition. Getting that initial sale is great, of course. But what about repeat purchases and developing a loyal relationship with your customers?

In the article 15 Foolproof Strategies For Encouraging Repeat Purchases, Valerie Hayman Sklar, Corporate Specialties’ president, joins 14 fellow Forbes Business Council members to discuss their tried-and-true tips for not only getting customers interested but also holding their attention so they come back for more.

Thoughtfully incorporating branded merchandise into a gift-with-purchase creates goodwill and can be persuasive enough to convince customers to buy again. The perceived value of the transaction increases, as does consumer loyalty—and in some cases, e.g., The New Yorker tote bag, the item even becomes a status symbol.
