5 Thoughts On Guest Loyalty

1. Loyalty is all about building relationships and the emotional experiences that build and solidify them.

2. Experiences are built on increasing trust and adding value at each guest touchpoint while at the same time increasing the emotional appeal of that touchpoint and consequently the guest relationship.

3. You can’t buy loyalty through frequency schemes or discounts - period!

4. When you embark on a guest loyalty initiative(s) your only competition becomes yourself. This is innovative and differentiating.

5. Focus on increasing the emotional appeal of your existing touchpoints and then look for ways to add more to more touchpoints by mapping your processes and touchpoints.

Re: The Best Websites to Publish Your Articles Re: The Best Websites to Publish Your Articles - I think we should not forget to say about Guest Posting here. Guest posting in popular blogs are always the best place to publish your articles. Though article submission sites are there at one side, doing a guest post in a popular blog gives you the immediate results. That definitely redirects you new readers from that guest blog to yours, if you have a related blog then it works great. Of course, guest posting builds good relationship with other marketers and experts. This helps you to achieve a growth for the long term. Thanks.
