4 KEY INGREDIENTS TO LOYALTY
Have you ever wondered why people are loyal to certain brands? With so many options, what motivates a person to choose one brand over another? More importantly, what makes them go back to that same brand again and again?
Think about building customer loyalty like forming a long-term relationship. There’s a mix of science and psychology behind brands creating loyalty like a strong marriage. With these 4 key ingredients, any brand willing to do the work can build a loyal membership.
- Trust
When patrons feel they trust your brand, a strong and long-lasting relationship can be formed. How do you achieve trust? Consistency. Do what you say you’re going to do. Deliver the amazing experience. Serve the delicious meals. Host your patrons with a smile. Do that on a consistent basis and do it well. When your patrons trust that they’ll receive the same friendly service every single time they visit, they’ll easily become members. - Fun
While trust is important, fun is equally crucial. In any relationship, keeping things exciting is the best way to maintain interest and engagement. Things can often become stale if the experience is the same every time. Balance the consistency of your service with a wide variety of promotions and rewards. This could be through limited-time offers, seasonal prizes or exclusive events. Give your patrons a fun experience and they’ll come back for more. - Recognition
A place where everyone knows your name. A place where people are happy to see you. Patrons keep coming back to brands where they are recognised, and their presence is valued. Personalised rewards, special recognition for milestones, and exclusive status can make members feel unique and appreciated. Something as simple as knowing their regular drink order goes a long way in strengthening your relationship. - Community
Humans are social beings and have an inherent need for connection and belonging. Create a sense of community for your patrons and make them feel like they are always welcome. Encourage interactions among members through promotions, games or exclusive events. Providing space and opportunities for patrons to come together, even in small groups, can build an atmosphere of belonging.
If your brand can foster all 4 ingredients, you have a recipe for a strong and loyal membership. Take care of your regulars as they start to see your brand as their second home. And soon enough, the brand loyalty that members feel can be cultivated into something even more powerful. Brand advocacy.
