Why Consumers Bond with Some Brands for Life
At Activate, our data and experience indicate that engaging clients effectively is foundational in building a successful organization in both B2B and B2C environments. Why? Because fully engaged customers are committed to the success of the companies with which they love to do business. They are loyal, easy to serve, and much more valuable to a company’s bottom line than their less engaged peers.
Activate's Client Engagement Practice Leader, Dr. William J. McEwen, reveals in his book, Married to the Brand, why consumers bond with some brands - but not others. Additionally this book shows what companies must do to build enduring and profitable brand relationships. Dr. McEwen explains that "There's a crucial difference between a customer and an engaged customer. Gaining customers should never be a company's objective; building customer engagement should be."
