Loyalty360’s Mark Johnson on ‘Powerful Ways to Build Brand Loyalty’
Mark Johnson, CEO Of Loyalty360, was featured in a recent article, “21 Powerful Ways To Build Brand Loyalty,” about ways that companies can better engage with customers.
Johnson runs Loyalty360, an association for customer loyalty, which through content, resources, and a robust network of marketers, brings together the best voices that customer loyalty has to offer.
In regard to building brand loyalty, Johnson spoke with Shoppinggives.com about what brands can do to ensure proper customer engagement that is long lasting and fruitful to both the consumer and the brand.
“The most important things brands can do, and although it is trite, is to create simplicity in their engagement, focus on those who are already advocates and listen to them in a proactive manner, and when listening make sure you are proactively responding to them,” Johnson says. “If you cannot action what they are asking for, make sure you let the know that you cannot and why you cannot, never waste an opportunity to create reciprocity, and in this time enhance the personal and empathetic connections.”

“We understand that Amazon is reportedly looking for grocery deals in the Boston market, and grocery offerings at A-rated malls, similar to Europe and Asia, would provide essential retail use and boost shopper traffic, in our opinion,” says Floris van Dijkum, a Compass Point real estate analyst in a note to clients.

“The combined effects of a challenging retail environment coupled with the impact of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic have caused significant financial distress on our business,” says Hunt Hawkins, chief executive officer of Stein Mart, “The company has determined that the best strategy to maximize value will be a liquidation of its assets pursuant to an organized going out of business sale. The company lacks sufficient liquidity to continue operating in the ordinary course of business. I would like to thank all of our employees for their dedication and support.”
