The Importance of Customer Trust
For any business, customers are the number one priority. If we continue to look at customers as just a means of bringing in money, we are going to miss the opportunity to nurture a strong connection with them. Loyalty is more than a returning customer and multiple purchases: it’s the line between whether they will refer your company to their friends, engage with you on social media, and commit to advocating for you. No amount of money can buy a customer's trust.
Establishing a positive emotional connection
The only way to truly earn the trust of your customers is to establish a positive emotional connection. Earning and building your customer’s trust is more important than ever, but it’s also really easy to lose. Positive emotional reactions increase the likelihood that your customers will continue to be loyal to your brand. With the technology available to marketers today, it’s never been easier to create personalized branding efforts for your audience. Each campaign should be targeted to create emotional bonds with your audience.
Deliver a great customer experience
The customer experience is like a double-edged sword: not only is it the perfect opportunity for you to prove to your customers that you are the best solution for them, it’s also the first opportunity to lose your customers. Take the time to A/B test your customer experience to be sure that it’s the best it could ever be. Survey your customers after they have purchased to gauge their thoughts on the experience that you provide, what can improve, and whether they would recommend your company to their friends.
Understand their concerns
Everyone is entering the purchasing journey with a little bit of hesitation. At the end of the day, everyone wants their money’s worth out of their investments. Make your company values apparent and at the forefront of your messaging and take their concerns in stride. Listen to the apprehensive buyer and win them over by showing exactly how your product is the perfect solution to fixing whatever challenges or issues they might have.
