Emotional connection and affinity are the key to turning customers into brand advocates, but with consumers constantly bombarded with information, creating that genuine, emotional connection with consumers has become increasingly difficult.

This book provides marketers with practical strategies that transcend traditional transactional interactions and instead cultivate memorable experiences that resonate on a personal level with their customers. Author Christina Garnett enables marketers to build genuine loyalty which in turn creates communities and forges an enduring bond between a brand and its users.

Taking a multidisciplinary look at the issue, Transforming Customer-Brand Relationships explores topics including the power of the customer voice, social listening as a tool and customer service transformation. By moving away from traditional metrics such as customer lifetime value and acquisition costs and instead focussing on emotional engagement metrics like Net Promoter Score and customer sentiment analysis, it helps marketers and business leaders understand and implement strategies that foster lasting relationships with customers, ensuring long-lasting patronage in this competitive digital age.
