Hanging on to existing customers

Of course you want to find new customers. But keeping existing customers happy – often neglected by even some of the biggest brands – is becoming increasingly important as a ‘marketing driver'. McCann Brand Clout TM identifies 7 universal marketing drivers :

1. Brand awareness – keeping your name on people's minds
2. Emotional bond – forging a connection with your customers' hearts and feelings
3. Product news – creating new relevance through news and innovation
4. Activation – encouraging immediate purchase through incentives or sampling
5. Loyalty – rewarding customer relationships

6. Product experience – Getting to know, experience or use a product without purchase
7.
Buzz – building credibility through word of mouth
