When deciding a purchase, different factors come into play, including emotions. For loyalty experts build connections between consumers and brands Through feelings or moods are some of the keys to success.
At Tenerity, an expert company in profitable loyalty, they recognize the relevance of these connections established between consumers and brands. In fact, personalized, real, contextualized, and convenient experiences have caught on. And this is demonstrated by numerous studies on the subject, including the latest report prepared by the Association for Customer Experience, “Reinventing the customer experience”, which highlights that the importance of attributes not related to the price, as is the emotional dimension.
“The mission of loyalty strategies is to build fans of the brand and, for this, one of the main objectives is to connect with emotions”, explains Eduardo Esparza, VP General Manager of Tenerity for Spain and Brazil. βIt must impact the mind of the consumer, generating a feeling of belonging and togetherness that connects them with the brand at a deeper level. In other words, we must generate that ‘spark’ necessary for there to be a real connection and commitment between the brand and the consumer β.
Hyper personalized experiences, amplified interactions, excellent customer service, agile technology, customization with adaptability or agnostic content are the six basic elements to generate that spark between consumers and brands, according to Tenerity.
1. Access to information
In order to offer hyper-personalized experiences, it is essential to know the users in depth, for which we must request a large amount of information from them. One option is gamify the experience making it immersive, being transparent and very clear about the purposes and without making an illegitimate use of the data obtained. When relevant information is offered at the right time, levels of engagement multiply.
2. Amplified interactions
In order for the necessary spark to appear in a connection, it is important to have aspects in common and, for this, it is vital to know the consumers. The greater the degree of personalization, the greater the feedback from consumers and the interactions with them can be amplified to reach higher levels of engagement.
3. Excellent customer service
It is one of the most relevant departments when we talk about the relationship with users, as it is the point of contact between the brand and consumers. The loyalty strategy must always include the customer service department whose mantra must start from excellence, speed and efficiency.

From Tenerity they identify the content as agnostic, being able to integrate any typology and from different sources with the aim of making it relevant to the user and being able to surprise them.
