Have you ever had an experience as a customer that stands out in your mind, for better or worse?
Of course, people tend to remember the worst interactions they’ve ever had, but the times that someone went above and beyond to make our day can carry even more weight.
If customer satisfaction means meeting customers’ expectations, customer delight is about exceeding them. Customer delight means that satisfaction is not enough—you want to ensure the customer has the best possible experience with your organization. This means going beyond the basics to provide something more.
While customer satisfaction might mean that your customers are content with your product or service, it might not be enough to keep them from leaving for a competitor. Customer delight, on the other hand, inspires loyalty. These customers will not only become repeat buyers but are more likely to refer you to others in their network.
Creating customer delight requires collaboration, as a customer’s experience with your company doesn’t start and end with just one department. Here are a few ways to strive for customer delight in your business.
Many of these options can be implemented with minimal work upfront. However, you’ll need to maintain them consistently to be a regular source of delight for your customers. When you are loyal to them, they will be devoted to you in return.
