The whole customer ecosystem Making emotive connections with people Beyond your customers LOYALTY Rooted in the existing customer base & retention of that base is around calculative or value based drivers SATISFACTION Measurement & understanding is based around quality perceptions and focuses on specific experiences & transactions

This is where the customer experience is not driven by experience or emotion but on a needs based push or pull premise. SATISFIED Influencing customers to engage with your products is important but given many options would it be enough to get them to stay? Customers driven by basic level determiners. This is where the customer experience and repeat purchase is driven by basic factors such as price, convenience and proximity CALCULATIVE Would people hesitate to switch to another cut-price airline offering a cheaper price? Or a new convenience store closer to home? Customers are encouraged to remain loyal through a focus on repeat purchase behaviour Driving loyalty is increasingly difficult to achieve based on brand alone. If your customer has enrolled in similar loyalty programs with 3 of your competitors is it really driving loyalty? LOYAL Customers have an emotive connection with these brands that goes beyond the product based experience. The experience is NOT just linked to the product. This is where customers love their interactions with a company and eagerly refer others If Starbucks no longer offered the 11 th coffee for free would customers really leave them? EMOTIONALLY CONNECTED

14. Page 14 © 2008 There are dangers in treating customers as fonts of all wisdom, especially where the future is concerned Why?: Customers ideas can be incremental Customer contexts mean their feedback is rooted in what they know rather than what is happening in the world Because they focus on what they think is doable Asking people to tell us what they want tends to screw up what they think they want Because they often get it wrong!
