After all, without them, it wouldn\u2019t be long before your company starts to face some real issues. Attracting new customers in exciting ways is a constant challenge businesses face; continually trying to work out how best to maintain a solid customer base.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What if you knew that one of the most effective methods, both in terms of keeping costs down and bringing in new customers, is by creating brand ambassadors?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Brand ambassadors have already built up relationships with those around them, gaining credibility, reliability, and trust. Although these qualities are possible for brands to build up to an extent, no amount of marketing campaigns will gain that level of intimacy with customers. Besides, why not tap into the already available resource that is your customers?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With a bit of care and attention, it\u2019s easy to encourage buyers to become brand ambassadors.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6276\" src=\"https:\/\/www.brightpearl.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Brand-Ambassador.png\" alt=\"Brand Ambassador\" width=\"807\" height=\"595\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.brightpearl.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Brand-Ambassador.png 807w, https:\/\/www.brightpearl.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Brand-Ambassador-300x221.png 300w, https:\/\/www.brightpearl.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Brand-Ambassador-768x566.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 807px) 100vw, 807px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CM5bYZBnBDT\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Image Source<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What Is a Brand Ambassador?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Creating brand ambassadors means your business essentially encourages customers to become marketers, targeting friends and family with similar needs, providing insightful recommendations and first-hand experience. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.hubspot.com\/blog\/tabid\/6307\/bid\/30239\/71-More-Likely-to-Purchase-Based-on-Social-Media-Referrals-Infographic.aspx\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">90%<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of people trust recommendations from their friends, so tapping into this style of marketing has huge implications for your business.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yes, they do sound pretty similar to influencers, but with one key difference: brand ambassadors are customers who freely choose to do commerce with your business. Influencers tend to be individuals you have picked out and asked to engage with your business, either by giving them a free trial, a sample of your product in return for a review, or in exchange for a monetary fee.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This makes brand ambassadors an even more authentic perspective, with no motive to exaggerate.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It does take a bit of input from you though &#8211; brand ambassadors have their reputation of honesty for good reason. The <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.brightpearl.com\/rise-of-the-review-culture\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">rise in review culture<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> means that they\u2019re not going to sugarcoat a shoddy product, questionable <a href=\"https:\/\/www.brightpearl.com\/blog\/10-top-tips-for-providing-world-class-customer-service\">customer service<\/a>, or confusing landing pages. So, you need to make sure you\u2019re giving potential ambassadors a great experience worth talking about.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">10 Ways to Transform Your Buyers Into Brand Ambassadors<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There isn\u2019t one fixed route for all businesses to put loyal customers in and arrive at the other end with shiny new brand ambassadors. Part of it is down to how your business already functions and part is due to the customer. If you treat your customers well across the board, at least some of them will likely become ambassadors for you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To put it simply, what turns customers into loyal ambassadors is consistently brilliant experiences with your brand in all areas of your services. Anything you do to benefit the customer experience is certainly going to help with creating brand ambassadors.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, that\u2019s a pretty broad scope to be working on, so we\u2019ve listed ten points that you can easily get started on, even if you\u2019re a newbie to marketing, unsure of the answer to even the simplest of questions, like \u201c<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/affise.com\/blog\/performance-marketing-definition\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">what is performance marketing<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.brightpearl.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Performance-Marketing.png\" alt=\"Performance Marketing\" width=\"803\" height=\"589\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.brightpearl.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Performance-Marketing.png 803w, https:\/\/www.brightpearl.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Performance-Marketing-300x220.png 300w, https:\/\/www.brightpearl.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Performance-Marketing-768x563.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 803px) 100vw, 803px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CUNB0kUIQcT\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Image Source<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1. Focus Your Target on Specific Customers\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not everyone is prime brand ambassador material so, in some cases, it\u2019s worth focusing on a select few customers. Of course, good customer service is non-negotiable whether or not the buyer has ambassador potential but, in some areas, you can save energy and resources by focusing your target group a little.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Identify your target group by using customer satisfaction scores, picking out regular buyers using a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.automationanywhere.com\/rpa\/sales-automation\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">sales automation system<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and looking at recommendation scores. You can spend hours looking into different metrics and analytics to select those most likely to become ambassadors, but as long as you\u2019re aware of these previous three methods, added metrics are bonuses.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Besides, no amount of stats and figures can guarantee a customer will eventually become an ambassador.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2. Go Above and Beyond With Customer Service<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s not news that customer service impacts how your customers view your brand. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/clouddamcdnprodep.azureedge.net\/gdc\/gdcPiLLQw\/original?ocid=mkto_eml_EM582302A1LA1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">58%<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of consumers from the USA say they would sever a connection with a company if the customer service is not up to scratch. If you not only want to retain your customer base but also convert some of it into brand ambassadors, you\u2019re going to have to consistently go above and beyond for your customers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Listen carefully to your customers and show each one the respect they deserve. Tune into their needs and challenges they face, providing insightful and useful information on your products and services. Rather than putting the onus on your customer support team, customer service should be at the core of your company, so ensure high-quality experiences for every customer through <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.globalapptesting.com\/blog\/everything-there-is-to-know-about-automated-testing\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">test automation<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, efficient response times, and comprehensive knowledge bases.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6278\" src=\"https:\/\/www.brightpearl.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Customer-Service.png\" alt=\"Customer Service\" width=\"327\" height=\"513\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.brightpearl.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Customer-Service.png 327w, https:\/\/www.brightpearl.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Customer-Service-191x300.png 191w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 327px) 100vw, 327px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.virginmedia.com\/broadband\/broadband-only?buspart=uk_ps_acq_cable_BING_Cable_Acq_Brand_Core_Only_Exact_Brand_Core_Only_Exact_virgin&amp;CMP=DFA&amp;medium=PPC&amp;msclkid=200a91687ef110d1a80df03c0e6a5ec1&amp;utm_source=bing&amp;utm_medium=cpc&amp;utm_campaign=Cable_Acq_Brand_Core_Only_Exact&amp;utm_term=virgin&amp;utm_content=Brand_Core_Only_Exact&amp;gclid=200a91687ef110d1a80df03c0e6a5ec1&amp;gclsrc=3p.ds\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Image Source<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3. Keep Customers in the Know<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whether you&#8217;re delivering a product to a buyer or developing a new service, customers like to know what\u2019s going on. It also helps them to have the information needed to be the best brand ambassador possible &#8211; being able to answer questions and fill others in on what your brand is all about.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It doesn\u2019t demand much of you, except that on occasion you pull the curtain back and show customers what\u2019s going on behind the scenes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As part of your services, send regular updates about products, new designs being trialed, or even information about deliveries. Getting customers to vote on new features and interact with the creation process can encourage rapport between you and your customers. Similarly, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.liveagent.com\/blog\/why-customer-support-automation-is-here-to-stay\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">customer support automation<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> can help inform buyers about your products and services and the process behind them.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4. Be Honest With Your Buyers<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Honesty is always the best policy, whether managing the fallout of a company mistake, making claims about your company standards, or setting targets based on the values you hold. Customers are surprisingly good at seeing past a facade, and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.edelman.com\/earned-brand\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">64%<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> are willing to boycott brands. But avoiding this fate isn\u2019t tricky &#8211; being realistic in your goals and honest about the progress you are making is all customers are asking for.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Be ready to take responsibility for your shortcomings by being open with customers about how you intend to address issues. It\u2019s a great way of showing integrity and building up a sense of trust with your buyers. Also, when using <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pureclarity.com\/a-guide-to-online-visual-merchandising-for-ecommerce\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">visual merchandising online<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, include specifications to create a rounded image of the product. If customers can respect your honesty, they\u2019re far more likely to recommend you to others and become that brand ambassador you need.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6280\" src=\"https:\/\/www.brightpearl.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Honesty-with-Buyers.png\" alt=\"Honesty with Buyers\" width=\"1020\" height=\"531\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.brightpearl.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Honesty-with-Buyers.png 1020w, https:\/\/www.brightpearl.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Honesty-with-Buyers-300x156.png 300w, https:\/\/www.brightpearl.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Honesty-with-Buyers-768x400.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1020px) 100vw, 1020px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.glossier.com\/products\/hand-cream\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Image Source<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">5. Personalization Makes All the Difference\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Everyone likes to be noticed now and again and personalization is the perfect way to do this. It shows you care about them individually and can have an enormous influence on their buying and estimations of your brand. Again, it makes your customer feel like they are a part of your valued community, making them more likely to want to rave about it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are so many opportunities for personalization &#8211; picking out recommendations of products or features that would be ideal for their scenario, offering discounts just for them, even something as simple as using their name on a call or in an email shows that you\u2019re looking out for them specifically. It builds the relationship you have and treats them as an individual, not lumping them into slightly relevant mass emails.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">6. Gather Customer Feedback<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We know, feedback isn\u2019t always the nicest word to hear, but it\u2019s an essential part of your <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/affise.com\/blog\/prm-marketing\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">prm marketing<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> with customers. It gives buyers input into how you run your business, brings up any issues that need to be addressed, as well as celebrates your successes. Feedback isn\u2019t a one-way street though &#8211; once you\u2019ve collected it, you need to act on the feedback you\u2019ve been given by making improvements and ensuring the best experience with your brand possible.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Use chatbot pop-ups to get feedback at key points in the customer journey or send out a link to a survey after a purchase is made. It provides a channel away from public ears for those who want to vent and is a great way of collecting customer testimonials of a brilliant service or product. However, be aware of how long you make your surveys &#8211; the more questions you ask, the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.surveymonkey.com\/curiosity\/survey_completion_times\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">less time<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> participants tend to spend on them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6277\" src=\"https:\/\/www.brightpearl.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Customer-Feedback.png\" alt=\"Customer Feedback\" width=\"814\" height=\"570\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.brightpearl.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Customer-Feedback.png 814w, https:\/\/www.brightpearl.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Customer-Feedback-300x210.png 300w, https:\/\/www.brightpearl.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Customer-Feedback-768x538.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 814px) 100vw, 814px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nandos.co.uk\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Image Source<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">7. Create a Loyalty Program<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Loyalty programs are named so for a reason &#8211; they drive customer loyalty to your brand and boost <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.brightpearl.com\/blog\/five-ecommerce-customer-retention-strategies-you-need-to-know-to-protect-your-bottom-line\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">customer retention<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> by keeping customers engaged with your products and services. There isn\u2019t one set design of how a loyalty program works, so it\u2019s up to you to find something that works with your business setup.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Coffee shops worldwide have hopped onto the stamp cards, while some brands give customers points with every purchase they make. Ultimately, points mean prizes. The important thing is to make your program accessible and active. Give customers a head-start with a sign-up reward or a couple of stamps to get you going and convince them they are already halfway there, making them far more likely to participate in your program.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">8. Make Use of Customer-generated Content<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The more people that are using a product or service, the more people then want to &#8211; so tap into this on your social media and through your <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bigcommerce.com\/ecommerce-answers\/what-are-marketing-campaigns\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">marketing campaigns<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Anything that comes from a customer counts as customer-generated content. Get your hands on those customer testimonials. Be it artsy pictures of your product and packaging or even promoting your brand on TikTok &#8211; these are all superb examples of customer-generated content.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Repost customer social media updates, set online challenges for customers to take part in, and share testimonials across your website, newsletter, and other advertising platforms. This makes it easy for customers to be ambassadors for your brand, as well as allowing them to be featured in your company communications with the outside world.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6279\" src=\"https:\/\/www.brightpearl.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Customer-Generated-Content.png\" alt=\"Customer-Generated Content\" width=\"1341\" height=\"616\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.brightpearl.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Customer-Generated-Content.png 1341w, https:\/\/www.brightpearl.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Customer-Generated-Content-300x138.png 300w, https:\/\/www.brightpearl.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Customer-Generated-Content-1024x470.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.brightpearl.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Customer-Generated-Content-768x353.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1341px) 100vw, 1341px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/get.ohne.com\/membership\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Image Source<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">9. Highlight Your Referral Scheme<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re still asking <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/affise.com\/blog\/what-is-an-affiliate-program\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">what is an affiliate program<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, it\u2019s time to study up on it. Referral schemes and affiliate programs reward both newcomers and ambassadors, through exclusive discounts, bonus loyalty points, and access to additional features. In the age of influencers, this gives your ambassadors a taste of the influencer benefits all whilst promoting your brand and attracting potential new customers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/growsurf.com\/blog\/promote-your-referral-program\">Promote your referral scheme<\/a> particularly with those who have already made a purchase and are familiar with your processes. This makes them more likely to have success in referring. Every time a referral is made, thank the referrer as well as the new customer, building the brand-customer relationships and fostering future referrals.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">10. Thank Your Customers for Their Business<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It seems a bit like the instruction a mother might give to a child but something as simple as saying thank you can really help. It shows you care about your customers and appreciate their involvement with your business. It\u2019s also another chance to personalize and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.brightpearl.com\/retail-brands\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">spread your branding<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> a little further.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can do this as a follow-up email or send it via physical mail which brings its own unique benefits. Where an email expressing gratitude might be read and subsequently deleted, a note is physical and more likely to stand out in your customers\u2019 memory. It\u2019s a great talking point for your potential ambassador and gives them something to hand around to interested peers.
