# Adding a customer to an Order

Smart businesses know that repeat customers are ultimately more valuable than new customers. Sure, you can put down top dollar for promotional efforts to acquire new customers, but it is likely that these customers will just shop in your store once. In contrast, your loyal customers are more likely to shop again and again, bringing you a steady source of revenue.

But how can you ensure that your customers can become repeat customers? Easy. Just take their contact details at the time of their first purchase so that you can contact them later on with promotional details, so they will be enticed to come back.

Imonggo now allows you to take your customer’s contact information while you are selling to them. Here’s how:

### Step 1:

1\. Under **Store** tab,  type the customer name in the customer field.

If the name does not match with previous customer records, the **Add** button should appear.

### Step 3:

Click that button and it will create the new customer in your customers list.

After the sales transaction, you can go to **Customers** tab and click the customer name to fill up his/her other basic information.
