The Features Your Business Needs & More
Increase Sales
Artisan can actually help you increase your sales by helping you know more about what goes on in your store. This can help you by keeping you from running out of one of your best selling items and by knowing what your customers like by measuring how fast different products sell. Your customers will appreciate that you are organized and that you know more about them. You can build stronger customer relationship and entice customers back to your store with loyalty programs, events, and mailings. Capture customer information by swiping or scanning a driver’s license (in most states). Marketing to current customers to increase loyalty and repeat purchases is the key to retail success today. Artisan offers a variety of customer loyalty program options.
