We’re encouraging business owners to view this Valentine’s Day as a romantic occasion to celebrate and strengthen customer relationships.
Every business owner wants people to love their brand and continue to use their products or services despite what competitors may be doing to try and win them over.
When customers fall in love with your brand as a whole rather than just a singular product or service, they are more likely to continue using and recommending you throughout their lifetime. They are, essentially, your business’s best friends.
These five ways helped them to get there.
1. Create a positive onboarding experience
People want things to be easy. When they land on your website, they want it to load quickly and allow them to navigate seamlessly through the information you provide. A website designed with the user in mind and performing to the high customer expectations will create a positive experience.
A color and white space balance, properly optimized images, and clear calls to action will inspire visitors to progress down the sales funnel. On the other hand, a poor onboarding experience due to a sluggish site, confusing navigation, and broken links leaves potential customers wondering whether to look elsewhere.
2. Facilitate the jump from stranger to thriving user
A key to a successful business is to retain a customer for as long as possible. The work to convert a brand new customer is much more challenging than retaining an existing customer, so you should identify ways to chat and increase engagement regularly.
Having an active social media presence is a way to keep your brand at the forefront of people’s minds and provide a platform for your customers to engage with your content.
3. Demonstrate how your product makes their life better
The art of acquiring and retaining customers is to convince them that your product or service will improve their lives. To do this, you need to put yourself in the customer’s situation and decipher what’s important to them at that particular time.
Your website is vital for showcasing what your business can offer, so getting traffic to it is critical. A well-optimized website with a strong SEO strategy will help bring essential traffic in.
4. Inspire trust with your brand ethos
Trust is essential in getting customers to think positively about your brand. Specific essential trust signals play a vital role in every user’s experience when visiting a website.
Customers’ primary trust signal is security. If you host sensitive data, a secure HTTPS login is necessary to guarantee that no information passed between the server and your customer can be intercepted or stolen. Your customers look for this when choosing who to pass their sensitive data to.
5. Establish an emotional connection
People want to believe they make decisions rationally, but, in reality, they make them emotionally first. By appealing to the customer’s emotions, you are more likely to win them. People’s emotional reactions to your brand can be seen in their interaction with your website.
Your Google Analytics data can tell you how invested each visitor is. An ideal combination is a low bounce rate and a few minutes spent on each page.
