IBM 2012 Smarter Consumer Study: Results released

Building loyalty through service
What really builds customer loyalty to a retail brand? Its promises? Its branding? Its content? Or is it the services it offers which actually improves its customers' lives?
Relevant Content is King
Brand managers are constantly on a quest to connect to their consumers through lifestyle content - if a brand is seen to understand the lifestyle of the consumer then it is thought that increased consumer engagement will follow. Yes, to a point. But where some brands fail to achieve this is when there is limited or no relevance between what the brand’s product is and the lifestyle content.
