Customer journey concept. Process of customer buying decision with keywords and icons

Customer loyalty is a hard thing to maintain these days. Consumers expect a lot from businesses and know if they aren’t happy, there are plenty of competitors they can switch to.

One thing small businesses absolutely need to do if they want to succeed is ensure both their online and offline customer experiences are seamless. At one time, it was all about taking care of customers who physically came into your store. These days however, even local customers are turning to the internet to make purchasing decisions.

What do customers want?

So what does it mean to offer a seamless customer experience both online and offline? Well, you first need to understand what your customers want.

These days, customers want maximum convenience. This means they expect to be able to buy your products and services through whichever channel they prefer. They also expect to be able to contact you easily via numerous channels.

In order to build customer loyalty therefore, you need to make your business as accessible and as easy to contact as possible.

It’s worth sitting down and figuring out just how flawless your current customer experience is. Look at both your online presence and your offline service. Is there anything that can be improved upon?

You probably already have a website, which is great.  But the fact that many customers are now using their mobile devices to shop and find out company information gives you a unique opportunity to expand your marketing efforts.

With on-the-go customers, you can make use of in-app messaging, geo-targeting and many other methods. Mobile optimization offers you more digital channels to stay connected with your target audience, which ultimately increases sales.

Giving the customer numerous ways to engage with you is priceless because you have removed some of the barriers. Make things easier for them and they will thank you with long-term loyalty.

Think about it, if you were having trouble finding the information you needed to either contact a company or buy from them, would you persist or would you try another company?

I’m sure you know the answer. So be sure to pay as much attention to your online customer experience as you do with your offline experience to boost overall retention.

Also be sure to ask for and act on customer feedback too. This will alert you to any existing problems customers are having during the buying or browsing process. It also gives you the opportunity to develop trust by showing you actually reply and listen to customer feedback.
