Blue Jeans Talk

Satisfaction equals loyalty. Satisfying customers’ desire to be in control offers tremendous potential for a business to build lasting loyalty.

Remember the time when jeans came in one flavour, and they fitted like a sack? They were incredibly uncomfortable; however, if you wore them long enough and washed them enough times, they started to grow on you.

I went to replace my jeans recently. I said, “I want a pair of jeans. Here’s my size.”

And the shopkeeper said, “Do you want a relaxed fit, easy fit, slim fit? Do you want acid-washed or stonewashed? Do you want tapered or boot cut? Zipper fly or button fly? Do you want them distressed?

Spending some time trying on all these different jeans, I finally walked out with the best-fitting-great-looking jeans I had ever had. They were very comfortable, and they looked great. I was thrilled.

All this choice made it possible for me to be delighted.

And the time invested paid off, for now, I know what feels good and looks great. Instead of going back to the store to and go through the fitting regime – I buy them on-line three at a time.

I am a satisfied, loyal customer.

We live in an era of consumer empowerment, and in this era, the formula for success is relatively simple. When customers feel empowered and satisfied, they are likely to become loyal returning ones.

However, this doesn’t mean that having more choices is always a good thing. The sheer number of decisions available makes people overthink their choices, which leaves them with a lingering “what if?” question.

Consumer confusion and decision anxiety can be reduced by offering decision support systems—these systems should include personal ideals and allow customers to define their preferences before making a choice.

The key is to find the balance between offering enough choices to attract buyers and actively helping them navigate the options – providing proactive decision support.

Focus on reducing choice complexity by helping customers quickly understand the differences between options and the consequences associated with each choice.

The British grocery store Waitrose recently did just that by implementing a ‘Pick Your Own Offers’ program that allows customers to receive specials on the products of their choice, as an alternative to giving coupons that were regularly unwanted and therefore unused. It is not surprising that the program has brought in thousands of new customers. If you offer your customers options, you can also provide a more personalised experience.
