If you are old enough, or were lucky enough to have grown up in a small town, you remember what it is like to be a part of a community where people know each other and support each other. The corner store was a place you could go meet with friends, find out about high school football and upcoming local elections, hear about a good place to get a sandwich, and get all kinds of other help. Places like this still exist, places like Hylton Lumber in Salida, Colorado.
Today, many communities have grown large and impersonal, and businesses have forgotten what it means to have relationships with customers, knowing what they want and providing a whole lot more than goods and services.
People go to the corner store just to meet people and find out what is going on around town. If your website looks like an engineering product catalog, you aren't providing your customers with a unique reason to come back to your site time and again.
Relationships are Key
Competing in today's marketplace requires the development of long-term relationships with customers, rather than emphasis on individual transactions. One way to deliver value to customers through the web is to provide a significant reason for customers to return to your website. Why will customers come to your site?
- Provide interesting information that brings customers to your site for more than just products and services.
- Keep the look and material fresh, updated daily or weekly by automated feeds.
- Emphasize quality, value and service.
- Make it easy to answer questions.
- Don't use jargon, put your information in plain language.
- Keep the design modern
- Serve all kinds of devices:
- cell phones
- different kinds of computers
- PDA's
- text-to-voice systems
- other systems to help people overcome disabilities.
- Design your site to easily accomodate many different languages, if appropriate.
If you provide customers with a rich and meaningful experience, they will come back and they will refer you to friends.
The following insight is provided by Frederick Reichheld, leading marketing expert and author of Loyalty Rules:
Loyalty can be earned only when leaders put the welfare of their customers and partners ahead of their own self-serving interests. Herein lies the paradox of loyalty. If it is really about self-sacrifice - that is, about putting principles and relationships ahead of immediate personal financial gain - what relevance can it possibly hold for business, which is in large part driven by self-interest?
There is indeed a high road in business, and it is the only road to lasting success... A 5% increase in customer retention yields a 75% increase in customer net present value.
