Loyalty Program

You spend a lot of time and effort to get customers to your door. So what happens after that first visit? It would be a shame to get just one small purchase, then rarely…if ever…see them again. You can’t assume that a good deal and a good experience are enough to get them to come back. You need a plan to make sure that customers are not just satisfied, but eager to do business with you again.

The key to long term profitability is to develop a list of loyal, repeating customers. United Hardware has contracted with Repeat Rewards^® to give you a tool that will make it easy for you to do just that:

• Keep in touch with customers to maintain top-of-mind awareness…
• Place your current offers directly into the hands of happy past customers…
• Sign your customer up and Loyalty Rewards does the rest…
• Don’t just wait for repeat business, reward it!
