Recognized quarterly, each third Thursday (January, April, July, October), there is a Get To Know Your Customers day.

This year, it’s January 16, April 16, July 16, and October 15, 2020. It is a day that reminds business owners to reach out to their clients to gain a better understanding of what they need to grow.

Here are 10 ways you can engage customers while subtly getting to know what they need.

  1. Conduct a one- to three-question survey via email, social media poll, or online form.
  2. Distribute a VIP video or photo about a new product or service with contact information to learn more.
  3. Promote a coupon for one product to see how well it sells compared to when there is no sale.
  4. Create a fun, interactive Facebook posts, like you’re stuck on a dessert island, what three items do you bring? If you sell any of the items listed, follow-up with a promotion.
  5. Offer a discount for referrals.
  6. Develop a social media hashtag for clients to use to share a photo related to your business, e.g., favorite mowing hat, or best camping hack, etc.
  7. Highlight a customer’s success story (with their permission).
  8. Ask multiple-choice or open-ended questions about how to improve your service or product.
  9. Dig into your data to know who’s visiting; what they are buying/looking at; where they come from, etc. Then, build your next promotional campaign based on your findings.
  10. Host an event with a fun, networking game incorporated, like a scavenger hunt, Bingo, or quick-fire questions.
