Customer-centric Marketing Stats: The One’s You need to Know
There are generally four major reasons why people stick to your business:
- A personalized experience where they feel part of something important
- Friendly employees and customer service reps that truly care for their experience
- Having the chance to be associated with a brand holding excellent reputation
- Transparency and an ease-of-access whether for information or help
These four make the foundation of a great customer experience but one wrong move and the customer that once championed your brand is now on their way out the door.
