Customer Loyalty
By Debbie Cline
Where does customer loyalty come from? Customer experience. Here are a few basics:
Loyal Customers Impact the Bottom Line
- 86% of loyal customers are willing to pay 25% more for products and services, and the higher the investment the more they are willing to pay
- Loyal customers spend 67% more than new customers
- A 5% boost in customer retention can raises profits more than 25%
Focus on customer experience. It is expected to overtake price and product as the key brand differentiator in 2020.
Loyalty Reduces Churn
- The average business loses 50% of their customer base every 5 years
- Only 1 in 26 unhappy customers will complain. The rest just take their business elsewhere
- Loyal customers are 5x as likely to forgive for an error or issue than a new customer
A high churn rate can cripple the growth of an organization. Don’t take the absence of negative customer feedback as an indicator of satisfaction.
