#1 Personalize

91% of consumers are more likely to interact with brands that provide relevant content to them. Take into account a customer’s preferences and interests to show you regard them as a person and have put thought into which of your solutions can help.

#2 Show emotion

A study by Motista found that customers with an emotional bond to a brand have a 306% better lifetime value. Use emotion in your content marketing and storytelling to build more of an attachment between a customer and your brand.

#3 Use customer data wisely

75% of companies see increased engagement when they use data-driven marketing. Create relevant campaigns by letting customer data guide you toward messaging that strikes the right chord with customers by offering help with their pain points.

#4 Craft a customer-centric marketing strategy

73% of consumers say a good experience influences their brand loyalty. Look at your data to craft marketing personas that reflect what questions customers ask and what answers you can provide to give them a more satisfying and valuable experience.

#5 Keep in touch

The average office worker receives over 120 emails a day. So, keep in touch and show the customer they’re on your mind, but don’t overwhelm them with emails. Determine the right email frequency by knowing when too much is too much.
