Tabbedout lets restaurant owners get personal with customers - Tech News and Analysis - 2 views

  •  
    "Tabbedout, a mobile payment system for restaurants and bars, is now upgrading its system with customer relationship management tools that helps merchants understand who's walking in the door and helps them treat customers better. Now, when a customer opens a tab through the Tabbedout mobile app, restaurant owners can see if he is a new customer or a regular, how much he normally spends and what he prefers to order. Merchants can also receive direct feedback from customers through the Tabbedout app. That allows them to respond directly to a customer or offer a special coupon to thank him or soothe him after a bad visit. And with the new CRM tools, Tabbedout merchants can also segment and target their users. Merchants can send an offer as a reward for a loyal customer or entice a new customer to come back and get back data on how many offers are actually redeemed."

    "First, you have transactional data, which includes all the information you have about previous purchases and interactions with individual customers. Second, you have digital behavior data. This data, as the name implies, covers what people are doing and have done online, from surfing patterns to all the various digital interactions they may engage in across your web and mobile sites. This data can tell you, for example, which pages or sets of products on your site people have spent the most time exploring (or, alternately, ignoring). Third, you have social data, which includes all data related to the social graph as well as any social information that customers may have chosen to share with you (or, perhaps, unwittingly shared with you by agreeing to sign-in to your site using Facebook or Twitter)."

More than 50% of the videos on YouTube have been rated or include comments from the community (which means a brand new way to engage with your customers!) Having a video on the landing page of your website makes it 53% more likely to show up on the first page of a Google search (and who doesn't like higher ranking in search results?) The average user's visit to a text and image-based website lasts only 43 seconds; for a website with video, the average visit lasts 5 minutes and 50 seconds (ding! ding! ding!) Customers that watch videos of products or services are 85% more likely to make a purchase (ka-ching!)
