Customers play the most significant part in business. In fact the customer is the actual boss in a deal and is responsible for the actually profit for the organization.

Loyal customers are the ones who will act as advocate for your organization.
More is the discount the more they tend towards buying. These customers are mostly related to small industries or the industries that focus on low or marginal investments on products.

Handling these customers is a challenge as they are not particularly looking for a product and want the supplier to display all the useful products they have in their tally in front of them so that they can buy what they like from that display.
If impulsive customers are treated accordingly then there is high probability that these customers could be a responsible for high percentage of selling.

These customers should be handled positively by showing them ways and reasons to switch to other similar products and brands and initiating them to buy these.
These customers could possibly be lost if not tackled efficiently with positive interaction.

For other types of customers strategies should be renovated and enhanced for turning out these customers to satisfy their needs and modify these types of customers to let them fall under loyal and impulsive category.
