Contracts

This will work only in select industries, but it's certainly the most potent way to keep people coming back. Assuming you continue giving good service, your customers will never leave you.

Hints and Tips:

1. Ensure that it's a win/win situation so they spread the word about your business.

Until Further Notice Deals

Can work extremely well, especially for consumable (and that doesn't just mean edible) products. The idea is that you continue to deliver the product until further notice. That is, until they tell you to buzz off. You have their credit card number, and just charge it each time you deliver. Obviously, there needs to be an incentive for the customer to agree-convenience is one, but something financial will also help.

Hints and Tips:

1. This is a big benefit to you so offer strong incentives.

2. Make sure they are clear on the arrangement so they don't dispute it after you've sent them several products.
