Customers have endless options when it comes to choosing new brands and services, which means their expectations are high. Immediacy, personalization, responsiveness, and product quality are a handful of the primary reasons customers will choose to be loyal to one brand over another.
But one major component holds the key to earning and solidifying customer loyalty: correctly leveraging customer feedback.
Here are six tactics to help strengthen your customer loyalty through feedback.

If you're in a successful business, you likely use surveys in some way. Whether you're collecting customer feedback, testimonials, NPS scores or implicit memory associations, your surveys form the foundation of product development efforts, branding and customer service. It doesn't matter who you are or what line of business you're in -- market research and customer feedback are critical.
The GRIT Report, a leading market research publication, recently surveyed 3,930 researchers to measure industry sentiment and forecast trends in market research. The results showed that 39% of researchers expect the quality of feedback to worsen over the next three years, while only 19% of researchers expect quality to increase. In other words, despite the advancing technology in questionnaires and surveys, companies are, generally speaking, getting worse insights about their customers.

If you want to grow your turnover by 100 percent, you could try doubling the number of your customers. But think about how many people you’ll have to recruit, the infrastructure you’ll have to expand, and mistakes you’ll make along the way. What will the financial implications of all this be?
On the other hand, if you increased the number of your customers, their purchase frequency and average transaction value each by 25 percent, you’ll still double your turnover. All this at a fraction of the time, effort, risk, manpower, and infrastructure. Now let me elaborate on five techniques you can deploy to achieve this.

CX is about future-proofing your business by ensuring that your commercial model is always looped into your customers' needs, perceptions, values, beliefs, motivators, and detractors.
There is a lot already known about the positive impact CX can have on a business, including increasing revenue and customer retention, but what happens when you neglect the framework as a whole or implement a poor quality solution?

A customer’s experience is very much a qualitative and emotion based experience. So why are companies so obsessed with turning this into a quantitative measure? Whether it is Net Promoter Score, Customer Satisfaction or Customer Effort Score, companies want to track a number. Tracking a score like NPS can be used to highlight the need to improve but the number alone won’t provide the insight you need to actually make those improvements.
Many businesses solely rely on this scoring system as they simply do not have time to do a more thorough analysis of the feedback they are getting. That is where text analytics software enters and creates the potential to gather insights from thousands of open text customer comments.

We all know that one crucial factor for the success of a SaaS business is its cumulative revenue growth. While very often SaaS companies focus on revenue growth by means of customer acquisition only, retention and expansion revenue is also important for a sustained growth. In this context, SaaS businesses must consistently take measures to improve customer retention. The most sought-after and renowned metric to do so is the Net Promoter Score. This article discusses how to use NPS to grow SaaS businesses.

Are you responsible for measuring the progress your company is making in improving customer experience? If the answer is yes, I’m sure that at some point you needed to decide which metric (or metrics) to use for that job. Did you choose the ubiquitous Net Promoter Score (NPS)? Or perhaps CSAT, the traditional customer satisfaction metric? And don’t overlook the more recent entry, the Customer Effort Score (CES).

Why are bad reviews so destructive? Despite the fact that they’re less trustworthy than most consumers think, consumers continue to base their purchase decisions on them. Pew Research Center found that 82 percent of American adults “sometimes” or “always” read online reviews before making new purchases, 65 percent of whom believe they’re generally accurate. Yet a Journal of Consumer Research study found almost no correlation between professional assessments (in this case, Consumer Reports ratings) and online reviews.
Bad reviews are bad news for brands, large or small. But the good news is that companies can prevent them with one simple action they should be taking, anyway: listening to their customers.
