Also, you can offer a gift incentive that satisfies both the needs of current loyal customers and those of customers you intend to capture. This is a great technique. To do this you need to know their wishes. You also need to choose a method of implementation for these sales incentives. For example, you could create a contest and publish it on your social media accounts. This will also gain additional visibility for your brand.
