Offering discounts ONLY to regular customers

[Unyime]

Many businesses just give some concessions to customers that have been consistent in patronizing them.

Offering discounts to loyal customers is a great idea; they deserve it. New customers should also have the opportunity to enjoy these discounts once they become loyal customers in the future.

I think this would be a very great way to help the business gain popularity and more customers.

When you use discounts to attract new customers, you won't have loyal customers because when once that discount is off, those customers would run back. Give discounts to customers who have stuck with you through thick and thin.

Yes that's what most of them do not realize. Then again it also depends. Some persons have used this strategy to attract new customers and they have been able to win them over with their good customer service.

Whenever I tried this in my business, I faced much more problems because these customers are talking with each other, and when people listen that few people purchased this item in discount then either they leave our business or give us tough time.

If the goal of discount sales is to reward customers, I think only long term customers deserve it.
