In my point of view, I do believe that it is important for all businesses, large and small alike to remember their customers' names. This is one way of telling them you appreciate their patronization of your company and this will make them feel important. Remembering a customer's name may lead to a fostering relationship which could last a lifetime so even if new competitors arise, you know that you have their full loyalty.

YES! Because we all know what it feels like if someone remember our name for the first contact. And if its from a small business it would be a very good advantage for people will know that they are valued and that the company is capable for whatever encounters in the future. Lets just say, its one of the many ways to simply build trust with your customers.
