Reward Paths Releases New Loyalty Guide: Ten Steps to Business-to-Business Loyalty
Cincinnati, OH (PRWEB) June 16, 2016 -- Customer loyalty is arguably more important in business-to-business (B2B) industries than it is in consumer industries. To help B2B marketers understand the steps to building enduring loyalty, Reward Paths, a leading loyalty marketing services firm now expanding its U.S. presence, has released a new Loyalty Tip Sheet especially for the B2B industry. Titled “The Consumer Inside: Ten Steps to Business-to-Business Loyalty.” The Tip Sheet is available for download on the relaunched Reward Paths web site at http://www.rewardpaths.com.
In B2B firms, the 80-20 rule is sometimes the 90-10 rule: the top 10 percent of a business's customers can account for 90 percent of its profits. The good news: by identifying the key purchasers and influencers in a business's client organizations and then building relationships with them that mimic relationships in the consumer world, B2B marketers can increase the retention, yield, and lifetime value of their best customers. Here are the ten steps to finding the consumers inside B2B clients—and building loyalty that lasts:
1. Define the selling environment
2. Assess available customer data
3. Define and identify best customers
4. Define the program objectives
5. Choose the program structure
6. Develop a recognition and reward strategy
7. Segment the customer base
8. Mine data for actionable insight
9. Close the dialog loop
10. Measure success
The new Reward Paths web site at http://www.rewardpaths.com includes insights, case studies, and best practices for both B2B and consumer marketers. It also includes a complete overview of Reward Paths loyalty solution suites, including:
