Data is not consistent, sometimes searches or general interest in certain topics, say social media or other types of data experienced peaks and valleys. Data analysis techniques allow the data scientist to mine this type of unstable data and still draw meaningful conclusions from it.
Small businesses will often rely on their website for consumers to find them, so this is your opportunity to make a good impression with potential leads or returning customers. Therefore, you want to make sure that the site keeps your visitors engaged and interested.
There are few brands that aren’t aware of the importance of being engaging on the web, but smaller companies often don’t believe they have the resources or time to be updating their websites on a more continuous basis with fresh and new content.
So what many small businesses do is create a Facebook page and forgo the website. There is no question that Facebook and other social media outlets are an excellent place to begin but if you want to gain the trust of your customer you need a website – it really is that important, because it shows that you have a company that is established.
Buyers can now discover nearly everything about companies, products and
services from websites and other Web sources, including what customers are
saying on social media.
In contrast to a traditional marketing approach in which advertising messages are addressed to a strictly defined target audience, Engagement Marketing does something new and fundamentally different.

Top 10 Ways to Turn Customers into
Brand Advocates
Zahoor
A brand advocate can be defined as a person or a customer who is
able to talk positively and in favor of a particular brand or a product
and then promote it through word of mouth (WOM) messages.
When you are reliant on marketing of your small business, then you
need to have some realistic goals in place so that you can expand
your customer base and ultimately sell more products or services.
You need to invest in specific marketing strategies if you want to
achieve these goals, no matter how large or small they are. You
can look at different business marketing campaigns that are often
low cost although without these, you run the risk of having a limited
set of customers.
1. Excel at individual interactions
2. Engage customers via multiple channels

If you have a brand advocate, then they are more willing to be a
part of the customer experience than your day-day customers. A
brand advocate can willingly contribute towards your sales due to
their invested time and effort in your brand and/or service.
If you have excellent customer service throughout the business,
then this is a strong starting point as many companies fall down on
these crucial essentials. You also need to continually engage with
your customers whether it is through social media networking,
e-mail, apps, phone calls or text messages. Whatever a method is,
it needs to be resilient and successful otherwise your customers
may lose confidence in the messages that you wish to share out
with them.
If you start engaging people on social media, be aware of any
backlash that can occur if customers feel that they have not
received the service that they deserved or the customer service

6. treatment over the phone or through e-mail. It can be an open
forum for complaining customers.
Customers often want to be dealt fast and in an efficient manner
and that is what will show a strong set of customer service skills.
You want to be able to drive home standards so that dealing with
the business from a customer’s point of view is easy and secure.
You could include your customers in some of your strategies for
charity related events. These could include designing some badges
or custom built notepads for a set week in a color or design in order
to promote the charity and the business at the same time. By
raising money for charity, this will inspire your customers to be a
part of the experience. Also, you need to collect customer data as
much as possible to give a full picture of the customer base.
In addition, you need to involve all of your employees in the
decision making processes for the business. Often, less senior
members of the staff may be overlooked when they actually have
the most experience and can often spot the major flaws within the
business and where the weak areas are.
Employees should seek to inspire the brand / business so that they
can drive forward what the customer is actually looking for, rather
than what the main employer thinks they need. You may also need
to focus on customer related incentives in order to keep it customer
focused.
If you evaluate the organizational experience for customers, then
you can consider customer facing and marketing strategies. You
need to give employees modern technologies so that they can
become more customer facing such as live chat and a main social

7. networking contact center for more social engagement and
interaction. Customers can be encouraged to leave feedback and
to engage more with the business.
There is a customer obsessed culture that is dismissive and
constructive to the point that it can become very damaging. The
culture of customers need to be closely considered so that there is
a differentiation with those that have older methods of business and
this will fade out as time moves forward and become modernized.
By investing in the change of culture, there is a more dynamic
structure and the market can gain considerable pace and favoritism
in comparison to those older methods adopted by other companies.
There should be a noticeable change in the customer satisfaction
surveys as customers will hopefully feel more importance and value
in the process. There needs to be a strategy for dealing with
customers and any feedback will need to be constructive if there
are drastic changes to be made overall in the business.
In the hiring stages of new employees, there needs to be a
consideration like how modern the leadership strategy is and how
the movement can be enforced to bring change.
Customers who have given strong customer satisfaction ratings will
continue to do so if they feel invested in and looked after. This will
in turn create some advocates which are extremely enthusiastic
and become very strongly represented on the social media
platforms and associated content. They need to be encouraged and
thanked for their contributions so that this level of advocacy can be
maintained. Remember, they are voluntarily spending their time to
create these posts and to update the information to this level. A

8. customer may actually be taking a risk in promoting your business,
should it be less successful in the immediate future. Any business
can fail and if your customer has placed their name against the
business then they may regret doing so if there is set of negative
feedback left after theirs.
Therefore, your advocacies can be your assets but you must keep
everything in order and keep a check on the success and integrity
of your business.
Keep an eye on what the top and bottom of the pile is doing in
terms of your successes and you should be on the right path to
maintaining effective brand advocates for your customers.
