According to an article on Hootsuite, over 4.7 billion people use social media, and over 75% of the world’s population over the age of 13 are on social media sites. These numbers make it evident for businesses not only to be present on social media but also build strong communities thereby ensuring a loyal customer base.
Now let us understand how Building communities helps businesses?
A strong community and brand loyalty is a testament to any company’s success for many reasons.
The most important element of this would be word of mouth. When a customer is loyal he/she becomes enthusiastic brand advocates which means they are likely to spread the word about your brand and product, the positive experience they had with it, giving you a greater reach all due to your brand’s exceptional product/service.
Another important aspect to this is emotional connection. When a customer makes a purchase beyond rational decisions it taps into emotions and identity. All major brands like Apple, Jaguar connect with their audience on an emotional level becoming a part of their lifestyle.
This leads to Repeat customers. When consumers are loyal, they purchase your product/service regularly contributing to a steady flow of revenue.
