New customer loyalty research from nVision

New research from nVision – the Future Foundation’s online database of commercial and social trends – shows that what we may view as customer loyalty in its traditional sense is actually repeat purchase driven by convenience, habit and risk-aversion. Even as far as pubs are concerned, only 10% of people return to the same watering hole because they feel an affinity to the company/brand itself.

There are of course other emotive factors which make people return to the same venue, such as a liking for the staff and the atmosphere. With these more transient attachments factored in 27% of bank customer return to the same branch for emotional reasons, but this still leaves a staggering 82% who are driven entirely by practical concerns. If you would like to know how to leverage customer loyalty in this sector and a wide range of others, this research and more like it is available via subscription to the nVision service.
