Customer appreciation emails — are they a necessity? Considering the fierce competition in today’s marketplace and the fact that as much as 80% of a company’s future revenue will come from 20% of their existing customers – according to the Gartner Group – building long-term relationships with customers and nurturing customer loyalty has never been more critical for businesses. Sending customer appreciation emails as part of your customer appreciation strategy can help you do just that. Well-crafted thank you emails sent at the right time can increase customer satisfaction, drive more engagement, improve loyalty, and word-of-mouth.
The Rockefeller Corporation study revealed that 68% of customers leave a business relationship because of a perceived attitude of indifference from the company that’s serving them. Another survey by ClickFox reported that 62% of consumers don’t believe that the brands they’re most loyal to are doing enough to reward them. Appreciation emails give customers a sense of reassurance, show the human face of your brand, and reassure that you actually appreciate your customer’s business. These emails can help you build healthier relationships with customers and increase your customers’ lifetime value.
