CUSTOMER
RELATIONS
| Treat
your customers with the
utmost respect |
People
are also deluged with
information and
opportunities. The
products and services of
companies they select and
build relationships with
are those who treat them
as reasonable,
intelligent people and
nothing short of that. If
you want these people as
your customers, your
Customer Relations
Managment strategy must
reflect this.
Your Customer Doesn't
Want to be Seen as (or
See Him/Herself as) Weird
Many customers want to
think of themselves as
normal. Some might be
tasteful but normal.
Others might consider
themselves selective but
normal. A few wish to be
outrageous, but not so
outrageous that they
won't be able to identify
with their friends and
peers. In other words, no
matter what they are
looking for, they are
seeking something that
affirms their identity in
a positive way.
Your target audience will
almost certainly wish to
assert its place in
society. Make sure your
advertising reminds
people that it is a good
contribution to their
interests, lifestyle, and
so on.
Please keep in mind that
there are some exceptions
to this general rule. If
your target audience
wishes to be so set apart
from others that they
actively reject
everything outside their
subculture, then you
should respect that.
Testing
a Customer's Patience and
Loyalty: Example
How much does it
take before a customer
gives up, switches
products, or decides to
avoid a brand? Here is
another example of
something that can
contribute to customers'
decisions.
The arrival of a strong
competitor. Some
companies coast along and
do not worry about their
established rivals
attempting new tactics or
campaigns. However, in
many businesses, change
can arrive quickly.
It often takes time
before a new company can
establish itself.
However, with a large
budget and a lineup of
good products, a company
can sometimes buy its own
way into a top competing
position. It may not be
ethical, but it can
happen.
Inflated expectations.
Too much hype can sink a
company. A competent one
that promises too much
will never seem good
enough.
While most companies hope
their promotional efforts
will be distinct and
appealing enough to bring
in customers, too much
hype can even turn some
people away.
The Audience May Exist,
but Do They Know about
You?
Just because
your site has an
established audience does
not mean that audience
knows your site exists.
Ask yourself if you have
made enough efforts to
promote your site and
attract the right types
of customers.
Furthermore, make sure
people can comprehend
your site immediately. A
customer who does not
understand a site will
probably leave quickly.
If
You Create a Survey
If you decide to create a
survey in which you ask
customers for input about
future products, what
could happen? Will your
results be spammed? Will
they send reminder after
nagging reminder about
past failures? Will no
one respond at all?
Yes, these things and
more could go wrong. But
there are a few things
that could go right. If a
large slice of customers
reply, you will get a
range of opinions that
represents how wide the
range of your customers'
views is. If customers
take the time to consider
their replies (especially
if you urge them to be
honest and careful), then
you will hear how they
think about your
company's performance. If
a few customers are
pushing a particular idea
or product, you may see
their advocacy efforts in
a number of responses.
A well-advertised survey
may succeed. Just be
careful, and don't expect
the world of it.
