Understanding Customer Engagement: The Opportunities & Challenges Marketers Face Today.
By Loyalty 360
Wednesday, 23rd January 2013
 
It's a phrase echoed by brands in their quest to attract and retain customers, yet, in talking with marketers across myriad industries, we realized that it's a concept that is often very misunderstood.

However, it is the key to building and maintaining strong, sustainable, and profitable customer relationships.

Building this relationship begins the first time a customer is introduced to your brand and continues as you initiate the dialogue, get to know each other, and develop a rapport. This is the engagement journey.

Marketers have come to realize that creating customers who are emotionally engaged with their brand is a distinct competitive advantage.
