With consumers increasingly giving preference to a
personalized experience during the purchase cycle, and even beyond it, it is
imperative for businesses to get to know their customers better.
Doing so will help you to anticipate their needs
and wants to drastically improve your customer service, cementing customer
loyalty. In fact, 96% of consumers around the globe are of the opinion that
customer service plays an important role for pledging their loyalty to
particular brand or business.
So, let us see how you can get to know your
customers on a deeper level -
Encourage conversations
Of course, starting up an honest conversation is
the simplest and most effective way to understand your customers. Ask them
open-ended questions about how you can further improve their experience about
your product or service, and what kind of content/messages would they like to
receive from you. You can even conduct surveys or polls for this purpose.
Analyze your data
Digital marketing leaves a lot of consumer data at
your disposal. Analyze your website traffic, the responses to your emails, and
social media behavior of your consumers to understand their preferences and
dislikes.
Conduct or attend relevant events
Events are a great way to meet your consumers in
person and forge a connection. You can either conduct your own events, or
attend an event which is sure to be attended by a majority of your customers.
Take time to respond to reviews and testimonials
Provide a personal response in a timely and
courteous manner to all your reviews, including the negative ones. This will
not only help you connect with the person who left the review, but also
increase your credibility in the eyes of new customers.
