There are two different ways to increase customer spend: either encourage them to spend more each time they buy, or encourage them to buy more often
Try benchmarking how often they should be visiting you or making a purchase. If they come every month, tell them to come once a fortnight. This can be done by sending customers email reminders or outlining a return date on a receipt. One pillow manufacturer achieved this by printing an expiry date on all of their products
Play around with your package deals. You might be able to create a premium product for a slightly higher price
Take a premium product further and make it a super premium product. This is something outrageous that puts price increases on your standard product into perspective. Customers will be able to justify paying a little more in comparison
A subscription service may work well by turning purchasing into a common behaviour or habit
You can also try to upsell by adding complementary products to your customers' basket
Make purchasing more convenient by moving the purchase point closer to the customer. This might be in the form of a dropbox or pick-up service close to a customer's home or office. Partnering with other businesses looking to increase purchase frequency may also incentivise customers to use this system
