Building Brand Loyalty

Creating and retaining a loyal customer base is essential for any business. A study conducted by Facebook shows that more than 3 in 4 adults in the US return to the same brands over and over again. Marketers commonly define brand loyalty as a pattern of consumer behavior where consumers become committed to brands and make repeat purchases from the same brand rather than competing ones. In this case, the consumer believes that the brand meets their expectations and identifies with the consumer on a personal level:

Some famous examples of brand loyalty include:

• Mac vs. PC
• McDonald’s vs. Burger King
• Coke vs. Pepsi
• iPhone vs. Android

It goes without being said that consumers must be convinced to be brand loyal. That is, a significant amount of effort must be put towards creating a loyal consumer relationship. So, how can you drive brand loyalty? The five drivers are commonly defined as awareness, relevant differentiation, perceived value, accessibility, and emotional connection. Here are some easy ways to garner brand loyalty:
