With over 250 million registered cars, this impacts most people.&nbsp; Meanwhile, there are some stories about some stations that are <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/local12.com\/news\/nation-world\/gas-station-drops-prices-to-225-a-gallon-fuel-cost-surge-oil-petroleum-supply-demand-market-citgo-burnsville-north-carolina-cincinnati-ohio\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">giving steep discounts<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to some customers and even a few <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ksdk.com\/article\/traffic\/gas-prices\/free-gas-giveaway-st-louis-friday\/63-bbd28ac1-8360-412a-a042-adac847dc759\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">giving away free gasoline<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A skeptical individual might simply see it as a marketing ploy, and an optimistic one might see it as a way of repaying loyal customers and engendering more loyalty. In these cases, \u201cbuying\u201d that loyalty has a cost.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Doing business with customers\u2026 for &#8220;free&#8221;<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are other businesses that have a model for giving away their product for \u201cfree\u201d. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Take, for instance, consumer banking. There are many banks that give away deposit accounts for free. Sometimes there are stipulations, occasionally it is truly \u2018free\u2019. They\u2019ll even strive to make the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.questionpro.com\/cx-member-experience.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">banking customer experience<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> positive to retain that business and even take actions such as refunding ATM fees. All a part of the cost of doing business with customers\u2026for \u2018free\u2019.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In both of these situations, there is still money that will ultimately change hands, and there may be long-term visions of profitability even with steep discounts. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, consider the business that doesn\u2019t intend to ever charge the customer\u2026ever. Consider that email provider that offers free email for life or the search engine that finds and categorizes all content for you to find what you need on the internet. As most people know, in these cases the customer is also the product. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The \u201ccustomers\u201d will be tracked and segmented and that information will be turned over to other companies that would like to market or advertise to specific audiences. In some cases, that information will collect details that most of us would blush at or might be incorrect as jokingly referenced <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/wqn3gR1WTcA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">here<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.&nbsp; <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some might contend this trade-off of data for access is acceptable, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.promarket.org\/2021\/02\/01\/free-data-market-failure-digital-platforms\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">others might say it is not a worthy barter<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.&nbsp; This will likely be debated for some time to come in the digital space, but at the same time, many of us have rarely received a survey from a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.questionpro.com\/cx\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">CEM software<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> about these \u2018free\u2019 services to understand our experience in the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.questionpro.com\/blog\/customer-journey-map\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">customer journey<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Taking It Back Old School<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the original \u201cfree product\u201d offers is over-the-air radio. The first radio commercial goes back 100 years. On August 22, 1922, a New York City radio station, WEAF, began selling time for \u201ctoll broadcasting\u201d with a 15-minute Ad offering apartments. That was the first radio commercial. This was nearly 20 years before the first television advertisement (1941) and 72 years before the <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/thefirstbannerad.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">first internet banner ad<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (1994).&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is 100 years of giving away entertainment for \u201cfree\u201d. Unlike the digital tools of today, there was not an easy way to measure who was \u201cthe best\u201d. There have been radio rating tools around since the late 1920\u2019s as that measuring stick.&nbsp; <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, many find the numbers unreliable for many reasons as discussed <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/historymatters.gmu.edu\/d\/6266\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">here<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Some broadcasters then look at other measurements to understand loyalty such as digital engagement or subscriptions to a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.questionpro.com\/blog\/loyalty-programs\/\">loyalty program<\/a> &#8211; these will give a radio station a means to trend their own performance internally. Yet even as unreliable, it is still the measuring stick in the absence of another universal way.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This happens in the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.questionpro.com\/voice-of-customer.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">voice of the customer<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> programs as well. The <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.questionpro.com\/blog\/top-10-tips-design-perfect-customer-experience-survey\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">customer experience survey<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> will depend on the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.questionpro.com\/cx\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">CX enterprise software platform<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to often capture a key performance indicator that is just \u201cwidely accepted\u201d. It will then be reported broadly and compared against others in the industry. Like radio ratings, companies proceed to offer incentives to improve the number, and while many of the activities improve the overall experience,&nbsp; there are some that hinder the customer experience. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We often hear about <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.edmunds.com\/car-buying\/why-car-salespeople-beg-for-top-customer-survey-scores.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">these stories<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in the automotive industry. What does that mean for the number? How does this affect loyalty? If we never hear anything bad about the experience, there will be no <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.questionpro.com\/cx\/closed-loop\/case-management.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">customer feedback loop<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to improve experiences. It is one of those quandaries that we face: the customer experience is important so we measure it, important enough that we offer incentives, and pressure to get those incentives results in people \u201cgaming\u201d the score, then the score does not really represent loyalty. Even with a terrific tool like QuestionPro\u2019s exclusive <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.questionpro.com\/features\/advanced-net-promoter-score.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">NPS+<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that can help one understand Root Cause and Churn Risk, the computations become unreliable.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How do you fix that? There are several approaches to help get more reliable and accurate scores in your Customer Experience program &#8211; adjusting who gets measured and when they get surveyed (which can also be supported by our <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.questionpro.com\/help\/customer-experience\/cx-workflow-rules.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">QuestionPro CX workflow<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>In short, giving a small taste of your product can be a win-win for both the company and the customer. Companies get to make their customer happy, thereby more loyal and engaged with the company &#8211; which means more capital. Similarly, the customer gets something for free, and if they like the product or service, then they proceed to purchase it.<\/p>\n<p>Just keep in mind that just because you give free stuff in your company doesn&#8217;t mean that&#8217;s all you have to do to earn a loyal customer. Yes, you have started a sales relationship with your client, but no human being is perfect. Even your most loyal customer, incentivized just by regular free goodies, will effectively become tired of terrible customer service or the poor lack of great user experience in your app or website, for instance. Customers will get fed up because, apart from providing overused rewards, discounts, or freebies, they simply don&#8217;t like the experience they&#8217;re having with your brand.<\/p>\n<p>Remember, no matter how much free stuff you&#8217;re giving away to your customers if you don&#8217;t ask them if they&#8217;re actually enjoying your brand. Or better yet, having the best experience with your product.<\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"><strong>Register for our free CX webinar Ratings vs Engagement: Building Real Loyalty. <\/strong><\/span>Join us live tomorrow, April 27th at 11:00 AM CT as we speak with radio hosts and station managers Scott Steele and Brady Hull about numbers, loyalty, and engagement &#8211; and how these lessons can help you build a more efficient customer experience strategy.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a class=\"square-cta secondary-lined-cta\" href=\"https:\/\/info.questionpro.com\/ratings-vs-engagement-cx-webinar\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Save Your Seat<\/strong><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Everyone likes free \u2014 Except the business As far as prices go in 2022, the price of a gallon of [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":46,"featured_media":322786,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[169,170],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>The Ultimate Guaranteed Loyalty Tip: Give Away Your Product For Free! \u2014 Tuesday CX Thoughts | QuestionPro<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Some companies may appear to be giving their product &quot;for free&quot;.
