Mailing
Some firms ask for customer’s mail address or mobile number to directly contact them for the next sale.
What firms do is, they direct mail or call customers about new sales, about any new offers, or discounted sales so that their customer base remains with them for long. It has been seen in reality too, that these firms do everything to make customers attract towards their firm. As seen in the image, firms make a list of regular customers to whom they send these offer related mails as and when it happens. They make sure that the regular customers get every new offer and discounted sales too. They give these offers to only their regular customers but not to the mass audience.
