There are many ways to enhance customer loyalty as a small business. One of our favorites though is to host a weekend retreat! Starlight Knitting Society has been hosting their annual weekend retreat, Camp Starlight, at Vernonia Springs since 2018. Their dedicated customers look forward to the 5-star experience each year and tickets sell out FAST (within 1 day!). Why does Starlight Knitting Society host an annual weekend retreat?
Encourage Community
The weekend retreat is available for up to 50 people. That means that you get to meet 49 like minded people who share your passion! If you’re looking for a way to meet new people while also fine tuning a skill, attending a weekend retreat like Camp Starlight is a great way to do that.
Support Supplier and Vendor Relationships
Continuous effort and connection is the best way to support your favorite suppliers and vendors. Strengthen your relationship with your suppliers by offering them the opportunity to teach a workshop class.
Enhance Customer Loyalty
By offering customers ways to develop their skills in a fun environment you encourage them to come back again. By attending a weekend retreat and getting the chance to attend various workshop sessions they will have better confidence in their hobby and remember the experience you provided for years to come.
