Roof Cleaner Gold Coast. Now that customers have more choice than ever, providing excellent customer service could be the key factor that makes your business stand out from the competition.

To build customer loyalty it’s essential to align your business strategies with a customer centric vision.

According to a recent KPMG Customer Experience Excellence report, personalisation is what customers really appreciate. Understanding what they value and adding personal touches to your service delivery could help your business recognised for its great customer service.

At face value, the power of one customer seems rather insignificant, however a happy customer is often a repeat customer. There could also be word-of-mouth or direct referrals to friends and family, and even online testimonials and reviews.

The power of word-of-mouth marketing has grown exponentially with the rise of social media and review websites. Customers can now share their opinion, which could negatively or positively affect your business. It can take up to 12 positive customer experiences to make up for one negative experience, which is why providing a good experience for your customers is vital.
Know your customers

Determining your target market will help you assess how your business can meet their needs. It’s essential to understand who your customers are and how you can tap into that market for future sales.

Doing market research and taking the time to study industry trends is important and a key part of developing your marketing strategy. It will also help you in collect information that provides you with insights into:

customers buying patterns
market trends
pricing
promotional opportunities
identifying new customers markets
what your competition is doing.

By having a customer focused strategy you can gain insight into your customers by personalising your services to positively affect their shopping experience. Monitor where your customers are coming from and who they are, so that you can measure the success of your marketing activities.
Provide good customer service

Research shows that consumers want more than competitive prices, they want a personal, engaging experience, one that makes them feel special. Consumers are also paying more attention to the integrity of the brands they entrust with their custom, personal data, and support.

You can improve your customer service online by using the channels your customers prefer, however they also need to work for your business.

By remaining consistent with your messaging, your customers will get a feel for your business and know what to expect from you in future. Speak your customers’ language by using words they love to hear – remember not all words are equal. Persuasive words such as ‘free’, ‘new’, and ‘instantly’ can encourage customers to buy more.
Look after your loyal customers

Implement strategies to nurture existing customers, such as staying in contact with them via email marketing or letting them know about promotional events.

At the same time, look for opportunities to build your customer base, making sure you find the right balance between nurturing your current customers and finding new ones.

Providing exceptional customer service, showing your appreciation and rewarding your loyal customers will demonstrate that you value their business and will encourage them to keep buying from you.

Strategies to help build customer loyalty include:

communicating regularly through social media, blogs or email
providing after-sales follow-ups
introducing loyalty cards and special discounts
going the ‘extra mile’ and provide benefits that going beyond their initial expectations
remembering their name and personal preferences
holding VIP customer events
sending thank you notes
providing opportunities for your customers to provide feedback and use this as an opportunity to improve on your services
training staff in customer service skills and basic sales processes

Employ good staff
