Is your Business Correspondence Helping…or Hurting…your Customer Experience?

“Customer Experience” is on everyone’s mind these days…and for good reason. What customers say about you and your company has a direct influence on the perception of your organization in the marketplace. Provide a great customer experience, and the word spreads. Provide a poor customer experience, and the word spreads, but you better watch out; customers will quickly go elsewhere. As a result, C-level decision-makers are turning their attention to building brand loyalty and sustaining a superior customer experience.

A Great Experience Builds Brand Loyalty

But building brand loyalty can be difficult. According to Nielson, 78% of consumers are not loyal to any particular brand, so keeping customers is already an uphill climb. But the effort pays off for companies willing to do the work. Analysts tell us that a repeat customer spends 67% more than a new one. And since it costs significantly more to land a new customer than it does to sell to an existing customer, working to brace brand loyalty makes good business sense.

Business Correspondence is Key

How can you keep customers loyal to your brand? One way is by examining how your common business correspondence serves to help, or hinder, the everyday experience of your customers. Over 70% of customers who leave a brand say that a poor experience and/or perception of the brand is their reason for leaving. So the question becomes: Do your everyday documents — things like statements, acknowledgments, invoices and notifications — provide a level of service and experience that will keep them around? If the answer is no, it’s time to do something. Are you aware that you can implement customer communication software in weeks – not months – using the documents you already have, to improve branding, customer satisfaction and your bottom line? And you do not need to change your business software or have programmers involved. Marketing, Sales and HR departments can now create their own campaigns.
