Hearing a Buzz?
There is a buzz in the business world
about Customer Loyalty. The amount of research data and books on
the importance of customer loyalty is ever increasing. Some of
the reasons to focus on customer loyalty cannot be so easily
measured, Vicki Lenz gives us a list:
Top Reasons To Create Customer Loyalty
- Loyal customers tend to understand
and appreciate value, and are less
likely to price-shop.
- Loyal customers mean repeat,
long-term business (and those dollars
add up!).
- Loyal customers serve as a
fantastic marketing force, providing the best
kind of advertising available: word-of-mouth.
- Loyal customers stick with you
through difficult times.
- Loyal customers can deliver a blow
to your competition, because if
customers are loyal to you, the competition isn’t getting
their business!
- Loyal customers are your
cheerleaders, and will go to bat for you.
- Loyal customers tend to tell you
what they like and dislike (yes, this is
good – you want to know both).
- Creating an atmosphere of
customer-loyalty within your company can
be a great recruiting tool, and help the right employees
come to you.
Customer loyalty can boost employee morale and reduce
turnover.
All this talk about customers - who are
your customers? When is the last time you identified the people
whom you and your organization serve? It's easier to reach the
loyalty goal when you know who your target is!
