It’s much more than customer satisfaction, it’s much more than customer retention, it’s more than behaviour. Genuine loyalty implies an emotional connection between the customer and the company/brand, and loyalty is earned through consistent, caring performance. No wonder attracting a new customer is estimated to be 10x more costly than retaining an existing one. This puts increasing pressure on marketers to constantly find new ways to strengthen the customers’ bond with their brand. Understanding what your customers truly value, both emotionally and cognitively, and aligning your brand with these values is the surest way of building a lasting bond. Even “satisfied” customers are at risk of defecting when a competitor is able to connect more closely than you are. By tracking your customer relationship, Market Xcel helps you be the leader who continually raises the bar in your category.
