Customer loyalty is the marketing funnel’s last stage, as described in a previous blog post. An earlier blog post stated, “The loyalty stage is when customer loyalty is established, and customers become repeat customers and advocate for the company’s products or services.” Our previous blog post on the marketing funnel didn’t explain the tactics and strategies employed during this stage. Intuitively, a small number of people who are aware of a company’s products or services in the awareness stage of the marketing funnel end up in the loyalty stage.
Tactics and strategies to build customer loyalty
The most important thing a company or business can do is offer a high-quality product or service that meets customers’ needs. Great products need great marketing and brand awareness. Furthermore, businesses should provide a quality guarantee, offer a generous return policy, and offer free shipping and returns. Websites should have an SSL or TSL to protect customers’ personal and financial information, including email addresses.
Additionally, customers should be encouraged to share their experiences with other customers through user-generated content. This can include writing reviews, uploading photos or videos, and engaging in a question-and-answer section on a product page. Sharing the story behind your brand(company) and demonstrating how your customers’ values align with yours. Businesses should make it easy to stay in contact with the company. Companies should let customers choose how often they receive their products or services. Additionally, businesses should make it easy to cancel subscriptions. This is especially true for larger companies. For a smaller business, charging customers monthly for services provided might make more sense.
Businesses should also have effective post-purchase follow-up methods. Post-purchase communication should focus on building relationships with existing customers. The customer should also feel that they made the right decision purchasing products and services from your company. Post-purchase communication usually includes emails, social media, or direct mail. Direct mail can have a classic charm that is unmatched by digital methods of communication. This could show that the company puts thoughtfulness and care into it. This method can be more time-consuming, but some greatly appreciate it.
