“There is only one boss. The customer. And he can fire everybody in the company from the chairman on down, simply by spending his money somewhere else.” – Sam Walton
A brand flourishes when it has its share of satisfied customers. And to keep the customers happy and satisfied, keeping Brand protection and Damage control strategies in place are very crucial.
Even after following rigorous quality checks and maintaining standard processes, having a few dissatisfied customers is inevitable for any brand. Usually, unhappy customers are always much more active than happy ones. So quickly responding to customer complains is the best way to control the damages and cope with the setbacks for any brand.
In today’s social media era, when everybody is connected with lots of people through social media platforms, even one unhappy customer can cause a lot of damage to a brand’s image. Each bad review about a brand negatively hampers its perception in the market.
This is why, manufacturers should put in a lot of efforts towards brand protection, social reputation management, and damage control.
Brand Protection
To convert a one-time customer into a repeat one, your customer needs to have a good experience with the first purchase of your product and the support experience post-purchase. Repeat customers bring profit to your company as they do good publicity of your products through word of mouth and many of their friends also become your customer.
If people unknowingly happen to buy counterfeits of your products, they tend to lose faith in the brand. Because the product may stop working in a few days, or it may be of poor quality or may pose health hazards. And they associate this terrible experience with your brand so they will want to avoid your brand the next time they make a purchase.
A repeat customer loses trust in the brand if encounters counterfeit
Many times counterfeits work fine, and buyers don’t even realize that they own a fake product. Even then manufacturers are at a loss, as someone else is exploiting their brand and revenue.
So the brands need to assure their customers that they have bought a genuine product.
