1) How often does the customer come into the salon? (strategic).
2) What services do they prefer? operational/tactical
3) Do they prefer a specific employee? (operational/ tactical)
4) What services were previously booked/planned vs. services received (strategic).

Increased profit margin,long term customer relationship.

Myra should explain to the customers that she is gathering info to better serve them, send them coupons/ discounts to get to know them better and to help UMUC grow as a business.
