How to Track Loyal Customers’ Purchase History Effectively?
In retail business, loyal customers are an “intangible asset” that helps stores maintain stable revenue. However, many store owners still don’t know how to track customers’ purchase history in order to provide better service and increase long-term value.
This article will guide you through effective methods, along with an optimal solution from MinaPOS retail management software.
1. Why Is It Important to Track Customers’ Purchase History?
Tracking purchase history not only helps you understand each customer’s preferences, buying habits, and spending level, but also supports the creation of personalized customer care strategies.
You can:
-
Identify which products a customer buys most frequently.
-
Understand purchase frequency to send promotions at the right time.
-
Easily segment customers into VIP, loyal, returning, or new customers.
As a result, your store can not only retain loyal customers but also increase the average revenue per customer (Customer Lifetime Value).
2. Effective Ways to Track Purchase History
a. Manual Recording or Using Excel
For small stores, you can record customer information (name, phone number, purchased products, purchase date, total amount) in a notebook or Excel spreadsheet.
However, this method is time-consuming and prone to errors as data grows over time.
