Reduce customer acquisition costs by four times

Loyal customers and regular orders

Once a customer makes a first order with you, our dedicated venue concierge team will follow up to facilitate a second order. After that, the ease of ordering through an intuitive app is what makes them stick.

-
How long does it take to get leads from Growth Engine?

Additionally, it can take a bit of time to drive good market penetration, especially with niche product ranges.
To optimise leads, we encourage all Growth Engine suppliers to learn best practices from our Growth Engine Supplier Success team. This training and guidance ensures you’re presenting your products and brand in the best possible light, and ensures venues are getting the information they need to confidently place an order or enquiry with you.
-
What if my customers find other suppliers on Growth Engine?
Some suppliers worry about customers finding other suppliers on Growth Engine. What we’ve found is that venues who find suppliers on Growth Engine are looking for a new supplier because they want a certain product, or they simply want to make a change.
The platform gives them the ability to find suppliers easily, but in our experience, venues don’t leave suppliers that they are happy with.
-
What happens if I don’t action the leads I receive?
Contacting a venue within 24-48 hours after their initial connection request is best practice and the best way to encourage a first order with a new customer.
If incoming leads are not accepted or rejected by you in this timeframe, then the lead will expire and you will miss the chance to convert them into a customer.
-
What if I acquire a customer who never orders?
You don’t need to pay any fees for customers who never order from you.
