Brands that align strategy and culture outperform their competitors

Interesting, of the top-100 brands and product categories in a new ranking of customer loyalty leaders, forty-five percent (45%) are tech companies engaged in digital, mobile, and social networks.

The real question is, what are you doing to improve customer engagement which will, in turn, increase loyalty?

Loyal customers always come back to buy more, they are more willing to stay despite price increases and they become strong advocates for the brand in their own social circles and online.

Amazon, Apple, and YouTube ranked higher than Dunkin’ Donuts, Samsung, and Facebook among top 100 brands. The 2014 Brand Keys Customer Loyalty Engagement Index is based on a survey conducted by New York-based customer loyalty research firm Brand Keys, of 65 product categories and 721 brands.
