Deep dives
The Misconception of Loyalty
Customer loyalty is often misunderstood in organizations, where it is mistakenly equated with customers remaining brand users. This leads to a dangerous complacency where businesses stop actively engaging with customers after acquisition, assuming loyalty is guaranteed. However, true customer loyalty is contingent upon continually providing value and usefulness; if a competitor offers a better alternative, customers will leave without hesitation. Organizations must shift their focus from simply gaining customers to actively maintaining their interest and engagement to foster a true sense of loyalty.
