In Entrepreneur’s article, 6 Ways to Build Customer Loyalty, they describe the 6 basic methods for engaging your audience with your brand to drive customer loyalty.
“It’s tempting to concentrate on making new sales or pursuing bigger accounts. But attention to your existing customers, no matter how small they are, is essential to keeping your business thriving. The secret to repeat business is following up in a way that has a positive effect on the customer.”
While reading the list, we noticed that mobile promotions, coupons, and other mobile engagement methods, which play a key role in customer loyalty, were omitted.
Furthermore, some of the suggestions seemed impractical, like what you should do after a sale: “Effective follow-up begins immediately after the sale, when you call the customer to say “thank you” and find out if he or she is pleased with your product or service.”
Isn’t there an easier way? Does Target or Nordstrom, despite a loyal following, call you to find out about your experience? No, they don’t. Rather, with Nordstom for example, if you opt-in to their email service, they will follow up your visit with a copy of your receipt. They may also provide a survey to get feedback and insights into your preferences and behavior to further personalize offerings in their marketing campaigns for sales, offers and events.
You get the picture now right?
