The key to staying afloat is providing an exceptional customer experience. Let this article help you strategize and implement these five killer tips in order to give your customers something much more tangible than just a good experience - a lifetime of gratitude!

The rudiments of customer service

One of the key things to keep in mind is that you do not have to wait until you are thanked before you can act. A thank-you should be given immediately, because not doing so might create a bad impression. In turn, this could lower your profit or affect your quality service. Customers should feel pleased and alert with every interaction that occurs with your company

"You never know how good you have it until you've lost it..." This was said by Ernest Hemingway. Its true, I had plenty of customers that constantly gave me support. People who understood the work that I did and went out of their way to help when I needed it. We need to reciprocate that service and give back to our customers whenever we can!

Some things your business can do to truly thank its customers

Other companies may consider whether they should leave a note or card in the mailbox of their customers, but if you want to go above and beyond, it might be time to offer something more tangible. In other words, try gift cards that can be redeemed at any time. This is a great incentive for consumers, who will likely shop with you again after seeing how well you treat them. Additionally, it's something both customers and your employees will appreciate; they'll know they did a good job by getting a special reward and that their efforts are appreciated!

For example, a coffee shop can make one of their employees come out with a thank you cookie that has a subtle message about how much the customer loved their service. A bar could schedule nice drinks for all its customers every day as an effort to express gratitude, or hold a meal once or twice a week where they would provide gifts of extra food or gift cards.

Ways to help your company be a brand you'd recommend

Making sure your brand is highly recommended by customers can be hard, if not a bit of a challenge. You need to know your customer. You need to recognize what they ask for and what they need you to provide. Here are some ways that you can help your company reach the desired goals. 

- Providing consistently great service

- Watching that employees aren't doing anything irresponsible

- Using mistakes as learning opportunities

- Knowing your employees' interests
