How we have reached it? With loyal customers.
Dogs are loyal. Customers aren't. - Philip Graves – Consumer Behaviour consultant
Funny, huh? Everybody is talking about customer loyalty. But I would like now to invite you to think - is it even possible to have loyalty towards brand?
Do You feel any psychological counterbalance of guilt and shame about the company you are leaving behind?
Yes, the right answer is - you feel nothing at the moment when you think about one of "ex" brands.
Loyalty cards is not the solution, because it’s allmost impossible to use them as added value in era of digitalisation.
now it's thousand times easier to access better, qualitative and easier alternatives. So basically – there is almost no possibility for customer to be loyal, as there ar two many interactions and attractions. It’s all about opportunities.
What do You think of customer loyalty now?
We see that all the digital channels are full of such promisses as «Cheap car rental» , «Discounts up to…», «ever…». Customers nowadays are ready to pay a bit more for super high quality and service. So -You don't have to be the cheapest to rule the world.
Our strategy basic principle is Drive premium, pay economy – that’s the way we like it!
