These says most sites and platforms now have the KYC system which stands for know your customers. As a business owner owning an offline business, what steps have you taken to know your customers or do you feel it is not really important?
I have seen some business owners who even go as far as knowing the birth dates of their customers.

Offline, maybe only banks and non-bank financial institutions ask for KYC. If you are an entrepreneur, you want to get to know customers, study consumer behavior, consumer groups, get to know them more through social media and WhatsApp, and create consumer data.

I try as much as possible to get close to my customers and know them personally. It helps to build customer loyalty. It must have limits though so that it would not lead to contempt.

I don't currently run a business, but what I would implement in my business is maybe using surveys and questionnaires to find out about the likes and dislikes of my customers, so that I may cater to them perfectly.

For me when a customer comes to my business more than three times I register them and store their contact in the company's data base. I give them loyalty cards and they earn points as they shop or buying services on my business. So they can redeem their points with cash which they can reuse it for shopping once again.

To be close to our customers, we need to take a number of ways, such as providing complete and easy-to-obtain product information, providing telephone numbers, email, social media accounts, websites and providing ways to order. You also need to conduct periodic surveys to find out the level of customer satisfaction, involve customers through voting if you are going to launch a new product.

Each and every business owner should get acquainted and forge a better relationship with their customers because it will drive the sales.

Knowing customers are key of success in business, because once we understand our customer we can get regular business from them and they will become a great source of our practical advertisement as he will tell their close people about our business.

One way to get close to your customers is to engage them to contribute to product improvements. You would get to have some information about them this way. And it can greatly boost service delivery and consumer satisfaction..

I cannot generalize the taste of all the customers. All I can say is that they have their own preferences. At some point, we need to conduct survey to know their wants and needs.

I do not own a business. I work as a freelancer. I have some loyal customers. I have tea with them once in a while to build relationship. I would also send greetings to them during holiday seasons. On work related matters, I always ask for their feedback on my work.

For offline business, customers should be made to film a form at their own will and should not be forced on them, these data's received from customers can then be entered into the company's database .

I think it is not something that would be done formally in an offline business. It happens slowly and informally as a customer keeps patronizing you. In offline business, we know customers to their homes.

I don't have an offline business, I only have an online business. I know my customers only by their name and address. Because in online business there is no need to mention age, date of birth, status, etc. 😁

Yes knowing your customers does play a very important role. Knowing your customers gives the impression that you as an entrepreneur or a business owner do not just see them money bags but also as humans that you value.

I don't see any need of requiring KYC in an offline business. Unless for those businesses that require transaction of money i.e in banks and money agents. Those can ask for national ID.

There's no business owner who knows well their customers not unless if get their data, it becomes malicious and anomalous on their parts. Their concern is to do business, be satisfied with the services and be loyal.

I carry out most of my business by providing services to online customers. Accordingly, I have very limited knowledge about these customers. In fact, I am not able to even tell the names of some of my clients.
