How to Turn Loyal Customers Into Brand Ambassadors
One of the biggest challenges for brands today is to get noticed among the sea of options that consumers face when they're looking to make a purchase.
This is where brand ambassadors come in.
Brand ambassadors are essentially loyal customers who are so smitten with a brand that they go above and beyond to promote it to others. But how can brands turn their most consistent clients into brand ambassadors? Read on to discover 7 effective strategies that brands can use to create a tribe of advocates that help spread the word about their brand.
1. Create a product worth promoting
Creating a product that is both distinctive and of high quality is the first step towards developing a loyal customer base. If your product can solve a particular pain point or offer unique features, it's likely to attract a highly engaged group of customers who will be more likely to promote it.
2.
Offer incentives for promoting your brand
Setting up a referral program that rewards your most loyal customers for promoting your brand is a great way to motivate them to spread the word. Make sure that the incentive is meaningful enough to incentivize repeat business—offering a discount on a future purchase or entry into a contest could be effective.
3.
Encourage customer reviews
Word of mouth marketing is highly effective—especially when it comes to reviews. Encourage your satisfied customers to leave positive reviews on your website or social media platforms. Reviews create social proof that your brand is credible and trustworthy. Some of the best user-generated content are testimonial videos, so encourage your loyal customers to create this authentic, compelling content, at no cost to you.
4.
Advertise their business
If your brand is B2B, highlight your partners on your site. By showcasing their business alongside yours, you're giving them exposure that's incredibly valuable—and building up goodwill in the process. This strategy is a win-win!
5.
Create an exclusive group
Developing a brand ambassador program and offering perks to members is another strategy to consider. By creating an exclusive group of advocates, they're more likely to feel valued and continue promoting your brand.
6.
Hold in-person events
Invite influencers to in-person events where they can get together and learn more about your brand. Having live events with social media coverage is a great way to build buzz around your brand and create excitement among your loyal customers.
7.
Create an affiliate program
Finally, implementing an affiliate program where brand ambassadors can earn a percentage of the sales they generate is a great way to incentivize promotion. By giving them a cut of the profits, you're ensuring that they will continue to work hard to promote your brand.
