Due to COVID-19, every business today is in a competition for customer trust. How do you build trust with customers? You earn customer trust by repeat good behavior, and providing value to customers they can’t get anywhere else. Rather than create new customers right now, you can work on maintaining your relationships with your past customers. Today companies can do this by knowing their customers, and finding ways to make customers’ lives easier and better. Like any relationship, exploit it and customers will run from the building.

In a post Coronavirus world, it could be a long haul back to business as usual. This is the time to think about your relationships and how to keep them healthy. Customers tend to be people of habit, and many enjoy the benefits that come from being loyal to a brand. Loyalty programs used to just be for airlines and grocery stores, but now brands across all industries offer programs to reward customers for their loyalty.

Loyalty programs are an often-overlooked aspect of customer experience, but they can be vital in building relationships and loyalty with customers—when they’re done well.
