Customer Loyalty is a term used to describe the preference of a customer for a brand. It is an act either driven by emotion, intellect, or choice to do repeat business with a particular brand over its competitors. The backing of a loyal customer base is important for the survival of any business in this cut-throat world.

Social Media is a highly valuable tool that is being utilized by marketers as well as entrepreneurs to form stronger relationships with their customers or users. Leading social platforms, like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Tumblr, Reddit, and more have made it convenient for brands to connect with their audience to enhance brand awareness and gain loyal customers.

Engage and Engross

Engaging with your audience is the first step towards achieving their loyalty. Regular usage of social media can ensure higher Customer Engagement so it’s vital for thriving businesses to come up with appropriate engagement plans to establish robust customer relations.

According to HubSpot’s report, 82% of customers rate an immediate response (less than 30 minutes) extremely vital when they have marketing or sales questions with the percentage rising to 90% for the ones with support questions.

Humanize your Brand

Your customers are after all human beings and not bots. Remember, Customer Loyalty is an emotional or behavioural connection with a particular brand. That’s why if you desire to win customer loyalty then you must humanize your brand. How can you do that? A few ways would be by concentrating on educational content instead of promotional ones, sharing true brand values, storytelling and going behind the scenes.
