# How do you get repeat customers?

To get repeat customers, make the first experience excellent, solve problems quickly when they happen, follow up with personalized recommendations, reward loyalty, offer subscriptions or easy reordering, stay in touch with useful content, ask for feedback and act on it, and reach out proactively when something goes wrong before customers have to complain.
