How To Create Brand Loyalty For Your Business
“There is a big difference between a satisfied customer and a loyal customer.” – Shep Hyken
Loyalty Brings Rewards
Earning a customers' loyalty is one of the keys to developing long-term relationships.
This can be really easy to accomplish if you know the steps involved.
Customer loyalty can be summarised as a 'people' first' approach to all things.
Take this attitude to all aspects of your business practice. Really get to know your customers and provide service above and beyond what they expect - to get the attention you deserve and the long term personal benefits.
Here are a few simple ways to earn the trust of a customer and keep them happy throughout the relationship.
Brand Loyalty Basics
When you are trying to understand how to create brand loyalty, you really need to start with the basics. It has to always be about providing exceptional customer service at every step of the way. Thank customers for their input, thank them for their orders, strive to learn more about their business, ask if there is anything you can do to make the process more enjoyable. It has to be all about the customer if you want them to feel valued.
Always send your customers consistent messages that are working to increase their trust in your business. Thank them for the order, message them the order has completed, reach out in a few days to ensure they are happy, and follow-up ina few weeks to see if there are any other ways you may be of service.
Make It Personal
Make sure that you show your customer that you have a human side too. Place a few pictures on the website of yourself or your team hard at work. It is easier for a customer to connect the name to the face this way, and it can have a huge impact on brand loyalty.
Don't just sell your products or services, offer customers helpful advice on how to use them that will positively enhance their lives.
Strive To Provide Helpful Information
Weekly or once a month, host a Q & A session on your website or blog. Give your audience a chance to voice their concerns, opinions, or suggestions, then respond with positive feedback.
Provide a live chat feature on your website around the clock. Make it easy for your prospects to learn more and get live help when it is convenient for them, not you. If a buyer knows they can get answers at 11pm at night when they get off work, they are more likely to come back and to share your services amongst their inner circle.
Once in a while, send a little surprise to your customers. Drop them a note thanking them for being a loyal customer and include a gift card, free product, or discount on a future purchase. Everyone loves getting something for nothing.
Create A Loyalty Program
Invite your customers to join a loyalty program where they will be rewarded for returning to your business.
Tell your customers about special events you are hosting and invite them by to take part in the special memories. Whether you will be at a local convention or hosting an online seminar, keep them in the loop.
Always People First
As you can see, learning how to create brand loyalty is all about relationships. If you take the time to care for this relationship, it will take care of you for years to come.
