Creating loyal customers isn’t just about great products—it’s about delivering experiences so remarkable that customers can’t help but come back for more. Brittany Hodak, a CX keynote speaker and author of Creating Superfans, breaks down exactly how businesses can transform everyday customers into passionate advocates.
Here are Brittany’s 7 proven strategies for creating superfans:
- Your Story: The Starting Point for Building Superfans
Share what makes your brand unique to build emotional connections with customers. People connect with stories, not just products. - Combat the Real Threat to Customer Loyalty: Apathy
Personalize experiences and show genuine care to prevent customer indifference. Thoughtful, tailored interactions make all the difference. - Engage Employees First
Passionate employees create passionate customers. Build a culture where your team feels valued and empowered to deliver outstanding service. - Measure What Matters
Focus on understanding where your customers come from and whether they return. Rather than starting with complex metrics like Earned Growth Rate (EGR), categorize your customers into earned (referrals, repeat business) and paid segments, and analyze their lifetime value. - Balance Technology and Humanity
Leverage automation for efficiency but empower your team to build meaningful, human connections that resonate with customers. - Compete with Care
Especially in uncertain times, showing empathy and going the extra mile to add value earns trust and loyalty. - Follow the S.U.P.E.R. Framework
Brittany’s S.U.P.E.R. framework simplifies exceptional customer experiences into five actionable steps:- S: Start with your story
- U: Understand your customers
- P: Personalize experiences
- E: Exceed expectations
- R: Repeat for consistency
