History of Get to Know Your Customers Day
Get to Know Your Customers Day happens four times each year. It falls on the third Thursday of January, April, July, and October.
The idea behind it is simple: build better connections between businesses and the people who support them.
While no one knows exactly who created the day, many believe it began during the early rise of online shopping. Local shops and small businesses wanted to remind people how much personal service still mattered.
This day isn’t about flashy sales or big events. It’s about listening. Businesses take time to ask questions, gather thoughts, and learn what customers enjoy or need.
That kind of honest exchange helps owners improve what they offer. It also gives customers a stronger voice. When people feel heard, they’re more likely to return.
Although the day’s history isn’t well documented, its impact keeps growing. More companies are realizing that strong relationships matter just as much as good products.
Online tools now make it easier to reach out and learn from buyers, but the heart of this day stays the same—get to know the real people behind the purchases.
A thoughtful question or small gesture can leave a lasting impression. That’s what makes this day so meaningful.
