Time and again I see other marketers doing what I consider to be the cardinal sin of not only online marketing, but also business in general. These marketers ignore their customers and treat them as nothing more than a mere annoyance.

You would think it is well known that eighty percent of your business will come from your customers (if you treat them well). However, the way some online marketers act, it is very likely they are oblivious to the incredible benefits to treating your customers like gold.

Not only will your profits be higher when you provide good customer service, but you will also experience a dramatic decline in refunds. To help you achieve a great relationship with you customers, I suggest following the four rules below:

Get back to your customer within 24 hours of first contact

Many customers want to be assured that their purchase was a good decision. If they hear back from you quickly, they will feel more confident and are going to be less inclined to request a refund.

Give your customers unexpected bonuses

You want to shower your customers with gifts of appreciation. Give them free bonuses that they weren't expecting. Always collect your customers emails so that you can send them random gifts or bonuses. This is a popular method that helps to build credibility with your customers.

Be prompt with refunds

It is always hard to refund a customer, but failure to do so can lead to chargebacks and other potential headaches. Many times a customer has a legit reason for requesting a refund and will make several purchases from you later on.

Create quality products and services

No matter what you are offering to your customer, make sure that the quality is always extremely high. When developing a product, I always ask myself, "Would I be happy if I bought this?" before I offer it for sale. If I can't honestly answer yes, then I go back to the drawing board.

Your customer has put their faith in you and handed over their hard earned money for one of your products or services. You need to reward this loyalty with fast customer service, unexpected bonuses and most importantly, quality products. If you are one of those marketers looking for a fast money grab and trying to squeeze out every last dime from your customers, you won't last long in any business, period.
