Technology has given businesses unprecedented access to new markets and unique opportunities. It has also empowered customers, enabling them to easily evaluate different offerings based on criteria that is important to them while comparing suppliers and pricing at the click of a button.

Developed by Fred Reichheld at Bain & Company, the Net Promoter Score (NPS) is a customer loyalty metric that measures customer satisfaction using an index that ranges from -100 to 100. Customers are asked one question – if they’d recommend the company to a friend – and then asked to respond using a scale from zero to 10, with zero being “not likely” and 10 being “extremely likely”. Customers are then organised into three categories as detractors, passives or promoters, based on their responses.

While increased expectations have led customers to frequently switch brands, there are certain industries like real estate, banking, and telecom where customers stay loyal by default. Why?

Love is patient, love is kind, but brand love is monetizable, and the first step to building brand love is engendering customer loyalty.
In an option-heavy world, differentiating between loyalty and heavy-category spending can be tricky. Cardlytics CMO Dani Cushion led a panel at Advertising Week New York to outline the steps brands can take to not only accurately measure loyalty, but to also curate experiences and insights that can further drive positive relationships with consumers.

The holiday season is in full swing. And while most ecommerce businesses have been preparing for this for months already, we can’t help but notice that many of these same businesses are missing one important element in their strategies. Sure, they’ve optimised their mobile apps, set up various discounts and promotions to reel customers in, and updated their merchandising strategies…But what about the customers? How are they experiencing the holiday rush? Are there certain funnels in which they’re struggling?
