Joseph DiDomizio, University at Buffalo’s Director of Digital Communications, joins the Content Experience Show to discuss customer advocacy.
Community Promotes Customer Advocacy
If you were to conduct a survey of every business in the world, 100 percent would agree that you have to have customers to be successful. Whatever product or service a business offers, it exists to serve the customer.
Unfortunately, this has led many to the pursuit of simply gaining more customers. Any efforts towards retention and customer advocacy are left to simmer on the back burner. What lasting brands have figured out, however, is that the key to thriving and gaining customers is to focus on building an emotional connection with the customers they already have.
The quality of your product is certainly important. But what keeps your customers coming back and bringing their friends are the emotions you inspire and sense of camaraderie they feel with other customers. By fostering this connection, you can increase customer advocacy and evolve from simply selling products to building a community.
In This Episode
- How emotional connections encourage customer retention.
- How to build a sense of belonging with your customers.
- Why marketers in higher education don’t experience the same kind of industry competition.
- How to conduct effective surveys to understand your audience better.
