😊 BUSINESS TIP TUESDAY #6

🤝 Build Trust Through Customer Service

Want customers to come back?

Start with something that doesn't require a huge budget:

Treat them well. 😄

A warm greeting, a listening ear, a little patience, and keeping your promises can go a LONG way.

Because customers may forget what they bought… but they probably won't forget if you made them feel valued — or ignored. 😂

Great customer service can turn:
👤 A customer → into a regular
🗣️ A regular → into a referral
❤️ A referral → into a loyal customer

And the best part?

Good customer service is free! 💯

🏷️ BUSINESS TIP TUESDAY #5: DON'T UNDERPRICE YOUR PRODUCTS

We all want customers saying, “That’s a great price!” 😍

But if you're making sales while your bank account is saying, “Are we actually making money here?” 😭😂 — it might be time to rethink your pricing.

When setting your prices, remember to account for:
✔️ Materials
✔️ Labour
✔️ Transport
✔️ Packaging
✔️ Utilities
✔️ A reasonable profit 💰

Your price should cover your costs AND leave room for your business to grow.

Because making 100 sales with little or no profit isn't necessarily better than making 50 profitable sales. 📈

💡 Remember: Don't compete only by being the cheapest. Compete by offering value, quality and a great customer experience.
