Don't take the loyalty of these customers for granted. Send regular newsletters to this group and watch its size grow. Tell your customers about special items you are preparing for sale and about any upcoming sales you are featuring. Include an eBay coupon – a code they can use during the checkout process – to get a percentage discount on any one item, or to provide free shipping or some other promotion.
