The funnel now extends to include expansion and advocacy. The expansion phase is when your customer purchase habits expand to include more of your product offerings.<\/p>\n<p>This can mean they buy newly released products or begin purchasing complementary offerings.<\/p>\n<p>The advocacy phase is when your customers become your marketers. A highly engaged customer will recommend your brand and products to others, helping to grow your loyal customer base and business.<\/p>\n<p>A strong customer engagement strategy can allow you to increase traffic and sales. Not only that, you can achieve it with less effort and investment than finding new leads. It will lower your marketing costs and improve your return on investment.<\/p>\n<p>Seven in ten Americans (70%) are willing to spend an average of 13% more with companies they believe provide excellent customer service, according to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marketingcharts.com\/uncategorized-17292\">American Express Global Customer Service Barometer<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Here are eight ways to quickly improve your customer engagement.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>1.

In other words, you need to think outside of the box in order to create a memorable impression.<\/p>\n<p>The good news is that it is still possible to personalize an online experience.<\/p>\n<p>How?<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The look and feel of your website should be engaging and approachable.

They can create strong, emotional reactions that will stay with your customers for a long time.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>You also can create a memorable experience by offering something new.<\/p>\n<p>Keeping ahead of the technological curve can be challenging. However, it&#8217;s worthwhile if you can offer engaging experiences your competitors can&#8217;t compete with.

Another option is to base it on that individual\u2019s average order frequency if you have the data.<\/p>\n<p>An alternative is to offer your customers automated reordering.<\/p>\n<p>This allows them to choose to have additional products automatically purchased and shipped.<\/p>\n<p>You can even provide the option for your customers to choose the refill frequency they prefer.<\/p>\n<p>If you use Shopify, there are apps you can choose to include this feature on your site.
