Bridging the Gap
Continued from page 8
7. Feedback and Listening
A marketing strategy that prioritizes customer experience will prioritize cus- tomer feedback. Surveys, reviews, social media monitoring, and customer support interactions provide valuable insights into customer experiences. Acting on feedback shows customers that their opinions mat- ter to you.
8. Consistent Brand Experience
Consistency across all aspects of your countertop business, including marketing messaging, visual identity, customer support, and product/service delivery, is crucial for a positive customer experience. Effective marketing strategies ensure that the brand experience aligns with customers’ expectations at every touchpoint to build trust.
9. Relationship Building
Excellent marketing strategies focus on relationship building and can lead to improved customer experiences. By nur- turing ongoing communication, providing exclusive offers, loyalty programs, person- alized follow-ups, or post-installation sup- port, you can deepen the relationship with customers and create a sense of loyalty and advocacy.
