IDENTIFY YOUR BRAND’S VALUES
Figure out what you value. Then go share them in a way your customer can
identify with.
A CUSTOMER THAT SHARES VALUES WITH YOU IS A
FULLY ENGAGED CUSTOMER
THE POWER OF ENGAGED CUSTOMERS
“Our data reveal that a customer who is FULLY ENGAGED represents
an average 23% premium in terms of SHARE OF WALLET,
PROFITABILITY, REVENUE, and RELATIONSHIP GROWTH compared
with the AVERAGE customer. In stark contrast, an ACTIVELY
DISENGAGED customer represents a 13% discount in those same
measures.” – Gallup
EMOTIONAL IDENTIFICATION
“Fully engaged customers have a strong EMOTIONAL ATTACHMENT
to a company. They act as BRAND AMBASSADORS for this company,
rallying on its behalf to friends, family, and coworkers, and GOING
OUT OF THEIR WAY to purchase its products or services. Some might
even say that they LOVE that company.” – Gallup
MANAGE YOUR TIME
1. Have a strategy
2. Create a social media calendar
3. Schedule your posts if needed
4. Set up your accounts right (smo)
5. Check once or twice a day to respond
MANAGE YOUR REPUTATION

possible.
