Build emotions
Find which emotions make your customers engage more with you. Reward loyalty and let them know how much you appreciate them being brand advocates. Always remember that customers care about their interests, not yours. Therefore, design a client-centric strategy that addresses their needs and pain points!
Test and optimize efforts
Find the right mix of KPIs that will help you effectively measure customer loyalty. Use a combination of qualitative and quantitative metrics from both online and offline channels.
Train & engage your team
Building customer loyalty requires an effort from multiple teams, not just the marketing department. Engage all departments and let them know the value of each customer.
Customer care is king
Provide your customers with the ultimate customer experience daily. This will help them convert them into repeat and loyal customers and will increase your referrals.
