5 Ways to Get More Customer Referrals

Finding new customers for your spa, massage, or wellness business is the lifeblood of its success and sustainability. Without new clients, there is no way a business can endure. Therefore, it is imperative that you retain existing customers and mine those customers for referrals. How is this done? Well developing referrals from people who have a need to like, know, and trust you should be relatively easy and effective, as long as you have a system and you are consistently earning that trust. Here are five things you can do to develop referrals from your current client base:

  • Develop relationships instead of business transactions - People do business with people they like, know, and trust.  Build a relationship and you build referrals.

  • Use Testimonials - Keep updating your testimonials on Facebook and put them up on your Websites.  Need some inspiration?  Check out the ones Scandle has posted on our testimonial page.

  • Network, network, network - Meet people in person and use the social media platforms as a bridge

  • Develop A Referral Habit - Make developing and getting referrals an integral part of your daily activities not a one time deal.
