With all the data security talk as of late, we must address another security aspect – namely customer security. Marketers start using customer loyalty software<\/a> and spend considerable time and resources attempting to understand and master it. It has been going on for as long as there has been competition. As a topic, customer loyalty has been thoroughly researched by academics and practitioners alike. A few things that we know about loyal customers:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Customer loyalty<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

1. Sharing their experiences with family, friends, and colleagues is not an issue<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Once they find a vendor they like, they will come back time and time again<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. They know what they like and are satisfied with their choice<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the point of satisfaction: customer loyalty and satisfaction are not the same constructs.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Customer Loyalty vs. Customer Satisfaction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Customer satisfaction<\/span><\/a> is a component of loyalty, but it is not the totality. As a customer, you can be satisfied with a product or service but chose not to continue the business relationship. Alternatively, you may make the conscious choice to share your wallet with someone else. Customers may likely have more than one provider in their consideration set, and they may be satisfied with all of them.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Profitability, as far as <\/span>loyal customers<\/span><\/a> are concerned, is muddied as well. An in-depth analysis may lead you to find that a portion of your loyal customer base is not profitable. They \u201creward\u201d you with their loyalty but may very well be eating away at your bottom line. Identifying this group and creating efforts to move them up the profitability chain is a topic marketer should be discussing.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\t
