Customer loyalty (CL) should be the number one focus for CEOs and business owners interested in stabilizing, generating, and predicting revenue. It’s a sound strategy when you look at the stats on loyalty ROI. A recent survey by Martech Today stated: “Customer satisfaction is more important to marketers than revenue or customer acquisition.” The folks at Gooddata agree, noting that as much as 70% of a business’s revenue typically comes from upselling and renewals. In fact, Gooddata says it can cost five times more to gain a new customer than to continue nurturing the relationship with an existing one. So, how can you unlock the secrets of customer loyalty and leverage the benefits for your business? Discover CL strategies and best practices through this four-part series. Stay tuned for Part 3.

new customer than to

relationship with an existing
one.

Key Customer Loyalty Focus #2 – Protect the
Equity in Your Brand

11. Build Brand Credibility…FIRST
Brand equity, the value of your
brand, remains one of the most
highly valued assets of your
company.

12. We argue that performance is sustained not by
offering customers the perfect choice, but by
offering them the easy one. So even if a value
proposition is what first attracted them, it is not
necessarily what keeps them coming back.
So, Make Your Brand a Habit w/ Your Customers

13. Because Many Customers Don’t Want Yet
Another Choice
In this alternative worldview, holding on to
customers is not a matter of continually
adapting to changing needs in order to remain
the rational or emotional best fit. It’s about
helping customers avoid having to make yet
another choice.

14. We are always very aware that the preservation of a
powerful brand is a very valuable strategy in the
marketplace and a crucial focus point for achieving
sustainable and buildable revenue.
As my partner Christopher Ryan
discusses in his latest
CustomerThink article, brand equity is
the first pillar in driving B2B revenue
growth.
Branding & Rebranding

15. Preservation of a Powerful Brand
A long-term client called us
to say that they received a
fantastic inquiry from a large
company.
“This is a great opportunity because the
buyer already knows us! As a matter of
fact, she attended one of my classes 12
years ago!”
Success
Story
The client said:

16. Preservation of a Powerful Brand
It was an easy and perfect
choice because there was
established trust and
familiarity with the brand.
Success
Story
The prospect not only -
• remembered the brand
• she sought it out as distinct from
competitors
• found it still to be as she remembered,
• engaged very quickly for a large contract.
This is
Brand
Equity!

17. You can start today by taking
a brand assessment like this
one, to identify where you need
help in shoring up your
existing brand.
It will also help you
understand how your
brand is reflecting
CL and building
credibility so it
keeps customers
coming back.
Shore Up Your Existing Brand
