Customer-centric Marketing Stats: The One’s You need to Know

July 6, 2018

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.

The following is a selection of customer-centric stats you need to know if you wish to excel at providing customers with the service they need (and desire):

  • 86% of buyers will pay more for a better customer experience. But only 1% of customers feel that vendors consistently meet their expectations. CEI Survey
  • In 2013, 62% of global consumers switched service providers due to poor customer service experiences, up 4% from the previous year. Accenture Global Consumer Pulse Survey
  • 89% of consumers have stopped doing business with a company after experiencing poor customer service. RightNow Customer Experience Impact Report
  • By 2020, customer experience will overtake price and product as the key brand differentiator. Customers 2020 Report
  • 90% of respondents who recalled reading online reviews claimed that positive online reviews influenced buying decisions, while 86% said buying decisions were influenced by negative online reviews. Dimensional Research
  • 70% of buying experiences are based on how the customer feels they are being treated.  McKinsey
  • A 10% increase in customer retention levels result in a 30% increase in the value of the company. Bain & Co

Eye-opening, isn’t it?

The shift in customer service is now becoming dominated by social media. Customers are out there talking about brands, products, and services each and every second. A company that doesn’t monitor and conduct social marketing campaigns are simply missing the action.
