Creating the Ultimate Customer Experience: So Many Choices, So Little Time
Go to: Previous Article Next Article
As a consumer, do you ever remember a time when you had so many choices? There are options for everything! Think about how many grocery stores are within a 10 mile radius of your home. How many drug stores or pharmacies are nearby? Is there a bank or credit union on every corner? Advertising messages are coming at us from every angle and the "noise" in the marketplace is deafening.
Now, let us perceive the marketplace at a macroscopic view and the different brands at a microscopic view. Buying a laundry detergent will open up dozens of choices for a consumer. Technically, laundry detergent is not the only product that would offer analysis paralysis! It seems that every product and services will always have a competition - and a lot of it!
The main point of this question is to make you stop and think - as a consumer - on what it is that will make you become loyal to a brand or business. What must they do to make you come back for more?
For most of you, the answer will be service since little else differentiates businesses in today's marketplace. The businesses and brands that strive to keep the customer at the center of their focus will be the ones capturing the lion's share of the business out there.
Implementing a service oriented approach - which means, continually asking yourself - "Is there something else I can do for my customers that will help make their lives better (easier, simpler, etc)?" - will generate a kind of business environment that will make your customers eager to engage more transactions with you.
As a leader in business, bear in mind the lessons you take from the companies you are patronizing and from the brands that you are loyal to and start including these in your customer retention strategies. Remember that it is always a must to have a solid customer service plan that is clear to all of your employees and do not forget to mystery shop regularly each year so you can be assured that your plan is always followed. Your customers will always let you know if you what you are doing is right for them to have a repeat business with you!
