You are required by law, for tax purposes, to maintain records of transactions for a certain period of time. But more importantly, maintaining customer records will help you provide better service to your customers. I buy supplies from a company who knows who is on the phone via caller ID (because they kept a record of my phone number). By the time they answer the call, my records are on a computer screen in front of the person answering the call. They know my order history, my shipping address, my credit card number, etc. I say "I'd like to order some boxes". They ask if I want the same size as last time, is my shipping and credit card information the same...I say yes, they say "Your order will ship today". They make the process quick and easy for me because they keep (and use) detailed customer records. Also, you can market directly to your customers if you maintain their records. You can mail them a catalog or send them an email. You could even target a sales promotion at just a portion of your customers based on their buying habits. It usually costs hundreds of dollars in advertising to attract a customer for the first time. After that, you can communicate with them for pennies if you keep customer records.
