5 ways to win back your lapsed customers.



Do you wish to win back your customers who have lost the thread? It’s painful when you lose your customers to your competition but remember, there’s always a scope to get them back. As a restaurateur, it’s important for you to try things to bring every customer back who was meant to stay. Here are the things you can do to build a stronger bond with your lapsed customers and get them back within your boundaries.


Provide your customers with promotional offers 

If your customers have lost their way back to you, you should give them a reason to try and find that again. Whether by a personalized message, an email, or a promotional campaign, you need to inform your customers about the offers and new deals you’ve created for them. 


You can build coupons using Lokobee’s online ordering system for restaurants and offer them special discounts like “20% discount on your order this Wednesday” or “one plus one offers”. The goal here is to provide them with significant value and win them back.


Customize your offers for them 

Sometimes, the reason why your customers have not come back to you for long is that they’re not getting the right value in turn of their time and money. You need to check the prices of your food and existing offers and see if they are valuable enough for your customers. If not, try creating more profitable offers for them and reducing the price of some items if you need to.


Improvise your system 

There’s a reason why your customers have stopped buying from you. It may be poor customer service, quality of food, or delayed orders. Try to know the reason by contacting them either through surveys or e-mails. When you get to know the reason, try to work on that specific area and let your customers know that you have fixed the issue. Your customers would love to know that you’ve tried to meet their expectations. There’s no better way to attract your lost customers than working on their grievances.


Promote your restaurant

Being in a restaurant business, it is crucial for you to promote your business every now and then. You can build promotional campaigns to share them across your online channels including your website and social media. You may create digital promotional cards or flyers through your system to get back your lost customers. You can drop the promotional material everywhere your customers can possibly see it, via email or SMS.  


Reward your customers 

Rewarding your customers with valuable reward points on each purchase helps you grab their interest. You can use Lokobee’s system to create effective programs and give your customers reward points on their purchases. These points are available to redeem on their next order which naturally drives them to return to you. It’s a great way to attract your existing customers and keep them buying from you. 


If you really want your customers to order from you again and again, make sure you pay attention to their feedback, complaints, and even their praises.  This will help you understand what they like about you and what areas you need to work on. 


Besides that, make sure your restaurant is backed by Lokobee’s promotional tools that support your digital promotional campaigns. You’ll be sure to get those inactive customers soon.
