Many businesses fail because of the lack of value they give to their customers. I have wrote a quick handy guide on how to increase value to your website service / product, and build loyalty with existing customers and new ones.

http://www.icalling.ro/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/customer-loyalty.jpg

Adding value to your service allows you to raise the product price, so you earn more money, or keep the price the same, but conversion rates and customer satisfaction with the product will be higher. Anyway here is my guide. If you want to share a tip you have to add value, drop us a comment.

So users, How can we Add Value To Your Service And Build Customer Loyalty?

Understand Customer Expectation

idea posted by Amit Misra Software Engineer -4 , Juniper Networks

Customer is key to any business and it becomes very important to understand why a customer has chosen your product or services.

If a business offers a solutions which is aligned with customer expectation, your customer could give repeat sales, at the same time this gives you a slight chance to align your product and services according the customer expectation.

Having expressed above points it is also important to understand which segment you want to target and try to fulfill expectations of that particular segment, considering other products available in that segment.

Your Product Needs To Be Unique

idea posted by Sasi Dash Art Director/Sr Art Director, U TV

Theres no point in having an exact duplicate of another product / service. You want to offer something unique to your customers. Your product needs to be in a league of its own, so when people come to look at it, they will be like “that’s awesome, no other service offers some of these features” etc.

If you offer your customers free trials of your service, and say they don’t have to put a credit card on file for the free trial, you will get a big response, because they haven’t given any form of billing information over to you, so they know that however the trial goes, they have nothing to loose. If your product shines, people will buy it. Why not offer free services that relate to your product. An example would be if you were selling eCommerce software, you could say for every sale, you get one years free hosting.

Customers expect quality product/service, it may not be the mantra but thats what companies do as per their clients' requirement, the point here is to cope up with customers' everchanging requiremnets, their comes the challenge of service pace

collecting customer feedback on your product/service & actually working on it incorporating the elements in the feedback is a sureshot way to garner customer loyalty. apple did this & launched the shuffle which was light/compact& yet packed the IPOD punch. this was designed basis the feedback by customers that often they wish their ipods were more portable & easier to handle. the results are there for all to see.

I agree with you but in addition to free demo/service inclusive of what customer really wants and adding some unique features within the requirement will probably able to retain/gain customers.

While watching the programme the customer get spell bound and thought yes I requir this also, the case has been won.

Pro-active after sales sirvice

idea posted by Mohammad Bakhsh Project Leader/Managing Consultant, Freelancer

The business lacks persuasion and  after sales feed back from the consumers.This cell must be activated and prompt action taken.

The business runs on PASS(Pro-active after sales service).The pass gauges the sensitiveness of consumers and tries assiduously for complete satisfaction.

Quality product and unbeatable service Pace

idea posted by Shridhar Chandru Business Developement Manager, ERP Consulting Company
Quality is the only Mantra to retain/gain customers.Sony is the best example. In case of any defect a prompt acceptance from producer is what a loyal customer expect and the immediate correction and serive/replacement builds trust, Tayota has proved it. In addition to this, virals (depends on product/service type) help better in acquiring new customers

QUALITY IN EVERY ASPECT

idea posted by ATMA RAM CHAVALI MANAGER IT, SBH

Above all, QUALITY in products/service is more important than meeting the expectations. First of all one should understand the customer expectations, design/develop the products with the best quality to suit the customers. Once the product is sold/delivered, the most important thing is after sales service.

In the light of the internet age everything is managed through net/web. Inspite of this a customer expects a persosnal touch. You recognise the customer by his personal name and serve him with smile, that will go a long way in getting some more customers in to our books.

create value in service/product delivery & after sales service

idea posted by Denny Joseph Sr. Account Director, Noshe

it is much more easy to emphasise on service delivery than striving to create a unique product. technology is similar & so are most product features, hence the differentiator is how you present your product. today everyone looks for value-addition in any product/service. ask yourself....are you not more excited when you see cashbacks & added accessories in any purchase you make?

the other more important aspect is how you deal with customers post sale. post sale, most customers are treated like immigrants who have overstayed on their visa. a customer should feel as warm & welcome whenever he/she interacts with you as the day he called to make a purchase. you should train your client interfacing staff on these aspects to enjoy customer loyalty.

Categorize Your Market

idea posted by Himanshu Pathak Sr/Principal Coresspondent, Coresspondent

Instead of going full out all whack, categorize your customers into different categories depending on their needs of your product. Its up to you if you want to offer a good service to everyone, or an outstanding service to selected groups.

I believe that when a bill is rejected so many times there has to be loopholes in the bill too and we can clearly see them. The main problem is that we are too emotional that we are not able to find the realistic approach to the matter.
