You can just sell products and services, but building a relationship will bring your company to the next level.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: Verdana, Geneva;\">Thankfully, technology is here to help you reach people\u2019s souls, touch on their pain points, and meet their needs. All that will establish loyal and trusting relationships between you and every buyer interested in what you offer.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-size: 18pt;\"><strong><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, Geneva;\">Why Building Customers\u2019 Trust and Loyalty Matters<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: Verdana, Geneva;\">First of all, customers tend to only trust credible businesses. So, it\u2019s very beneficial for your reputation and brand awareness to make sure at least 9 in 10 buyers are satisfied and consider coming back.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, Geneva;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But if you want numbers, it will cost you <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">5 times more<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to acquire a new customer than to retain an existing one. According to the same source, sales success is 60-70% if you\u2019re trying to encourage a retained client to buy.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: Verdana, Geneva;\">If we\u2019re talking about a new buyer, the success rate is only 5-20%.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: Verdana, Geneva;\">And there\u2019s even more! A tiny 5% increase in retention rate can make your revenue grow by 25-95%, depending on the case.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: Verdana, Geneva;\">So, we can agree that building relationships with people who buy from you is quite important.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-size: 18pt;\"><strong><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, Geneva;\">How Technologies Improve Customer Trust and Loyalty<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: Verdana, Geneva;\">Customer loyalty goes beyond regular buyer retention. In the latter, you have to do something to make a person want to come back.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: Verdana, Geneva;\">When it comes to loyalty, you create an environment. Everything is already done, and a person consciously decides to buy from you again, subscribe to a newsletter, write a review, recommend your brand to a friend, etc.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: Verdana, Geneva;\">To build a relationship, the company needs to express empathy to its customers. But that\u2019s not all.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: Verdana, Geneva;\">Technology has been a driving force in recent years. Its main goals are:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: Verdana, Geneva;\">Touching on and easing pain points<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: Verdana, Geneva;\">Providing a high quality of support<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: Verdana, Geneva;\">Reducing the effort needed to use your website, get help, buy from you, etc.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: Verdana, Geneva;\">Some of the most common problems consumers have are:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: Verdana, Geneva;\">Long wait times &#8211; when it takes an eternity to hear from the support team, load a website, etc.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: Verdana, Geneva;\">Poorly trained operators &#8211; one thing worse than waiting for a long time to get a basic reply is to get a senseless, unhelpful one quickly.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: Verdana, Geneva;\">Cold communication &#8211; that\u2019s where empathy plays a deciding role in whether the person will come back and become your advocate.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: Verdana, Geneva;\">The key is to combine both warm and efficient experiences to ease all the pain points of your target audience.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: Verdana, Geneva;\">A basic yet great example of a company using tech to its benefit is Starbucks. It seems they have no shortage of customers, but the company still cares about garnering loyalty and rewarding their buyers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-4691\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hostnamaste.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/unamed.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"757\" height=\"426\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hostnamaste.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/unamed.png 512w, https:\/\/www.hostnamaste.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/unamed-300x169.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 757px) 100vw, 757px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: Verdana, Geneva;\">By joining the Rewards program, you can order easily in advance to save time, receive free coffee and food, etc. Each purchase gives you a certain number of points you can accumulate to get free stuff.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: Verdana, Geneva;\">Plus, the app sends push notifications to encourage people to get more points.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, Geneva;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And for everyone using the app for the first time, there\u2019s a free drink.
