Building quality long-term personal relationship with your customers should be the foundation of every business.
Strong connections between a business and its customers lead to brand loyalty ( not to be confused with customer sarisfaction), consistent repeat and referral business, and the desire of your customers to become ambassadors of your brand.
The best way to cultivate loyal customers is to design and implement an outstanding customer experience at every touchpoint in their interaction with your brand.
Another important practice is consistently showing gratitude and appreciation for their contribution to the growth of your business.
Take good care of your customers and, in return, they will take good care of your business.
