What went well? What could&rsquo;ve been better?<\/li>\n<li><strong>Allow you to upsell and cross-sell: <\/strong>if a customer has had a good experience with you the first time round, following up provides an opportunity to offer them additional, related, products that they might not otherwise have known about.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Let you resolve any quibbles, before they become issues: <\/strong>following up with a customer enables you to discover &ndash;&nbsp;and talk through &ndash;&nbsp;any annoyances or frustrations they may have had with the initial sale.

However, emails can often feel less personal because of this &ndash;&nbsp;and can go missing in the overstuffed inboxes of their recipients.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Social media:<\/strong> if a customer gets in contact with one of your business&rsquo;s social media accounts, it&rsquo;s more than okay to reply to them via that channel.

And for some types of products &ndash;&nbsp;ones that take several days, or weeks, to get set up &ndash;&nbsp;immediate communication won&rsquo;t always be appropriate.<\/p>\n<p>But in general, the sooner you can reach out to your customer after they&rsquo;ve bought from you, the better. For one, you&rsquo;ll still be top of mind &ndash;&nbsp;so the communication won&rsquo;t seem like it&rsquo;s coming out of the blue, and will feel less like marketing. For another? If there <em>is <\/em>an issue with the product or service you&rsquo;ve provided &ndash;&nbsp;and the customer simply hasn&rsquo;t gotten around to telling you about it yet &ndash;&nbsp;you&rsquo;ll be able to solve it sooner.[\/vc_column_text]\n <footer>\n <\/footer>\n\n\n[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]\n<section class=\"taco-content-section \" id=\"section-0\">\n <header class=\"taco-section-header no-number\">\n\n <div class=\"taco-section-heading\">\n <h2 class=\"taco-section-title primary\">\n \n 8. Send Relevant Content <\/h2>\n\n <\/div>\n\n <\/header>\n\n \n\n [vc_column_text]One of the best ways to follow up with customers without it feeling too random (or too annoying!) is to offer them some informative, interesting content.<\/section><\/p>\n<p>Reaching out with a relevant recent blog article, for instance &ndash;&nbsp;or with a link to a how-to guide explaining how to make the most of a product they&rsquo;ve just bought from you&nbsp;&ndash;&nbsp;are surefire ways to start a positive (and potentially profitable) conversation.<\/p>\n<p>It&rsquo;ll also help engender loyalty to your brand, and whet your customer&rsquo;s whistle for more of the engaging, informative content your business has up its sleeve.[\/vc_column_text]\n <footer>\n <\/footer>\n\n\n[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]\n<section class=\"taco-content-section \" id=\"section-0\">\n <header class=\"taco-section-header no-number\">\n\n <div class=\"taco-section-heading\">\n <h2 class=\"taco-section-title primary\">\n \n 9.

So whether you&rsquo;re following up with your customer via email, phone, social media, or text, make sure your message sounds like it comes from you &ndash;&nbsp;a.k.a a real person!<\/section><\/p>\n<p>To do this, channel a friendly, conversational tone. Use their first name when you reach out to them. Make a reference to their recent purchase (what it was, and when they bought it) and be upfront about why you&rsquo;re reaching out.<\/p>\n<p>Sounding human will increase the warmth with which your customers perceive your brand.
