GTG CRM will use the spa industry as an example for this case study. The spa industry in Vietnam has a low customer return rate , averaging only 30-40% of customers returning after their first visit. The reason? Not poor service, but the lack of a post-service care system : forgotten appointment reminders, no birthday promotions, and no follow-up with new customers.
The Problems Spas Are Facing
- Managing customers using manuals/Excel : It's not possible to quickly search a customer's service history.
- Manual reminders : Staff forget to call → customer forgets appointment → wasted empty slots.
- We don't know who the VIPs are : We don't know who spends the most, or who hasn't visited in a long time.
- Missed out on special occasions : Birthdays, anniversaries, missed upsell opportunities.
- No data available : Which services sell well? Which staff members have the most returning customers? Unknown.
