How To Create Brand Advocacy

By Diana MacHiavelli


Brand advocacy is all about building influential and long lasting relationships with your customers. To figure out what you need to say to motivate your social audience to advocate for your brand, you need to think about which brands you tell your friends about and why. Why do you advocate for them? What sets them apart? Most likely it's the fact that they have a great product or great customer service.

The majority of brands are getting this all wrong. They view their audience as individual clicks and as dollar symbols, instead of relationships. It's not about investing on advertising and making elaborate Facebook and Twitter templates. Personal interaction is what makes this advocacy happen. Creating that connection begins online now.

It's self evident that people want to buy and support brands they like. Without the engagement and human interaction from your users, their value is diminished. Building advocacy is all about nurturing these relationships and experiences. You need to build an emotional connection. When users seek you out through social media, that's what they are looking for.

Now, how to build that connection. Do this by reaching out to specific individuals and acknowledge their comments. You should also thank the users that share your content. The most imperative thing is to not take these people for granted. True advocacy is the effect of giving reliable consistent service, and fulfilling what your brand promises to do. Your current and future customers need to have an experience that stands out. It's important to not be routine and keep it unique and interesting!

When you have established your brand advocates, make sure that they are heard, you can help with this. These advocates want to be heard, so it's important to make sure to re-tweet them and post their input and insight on your website. Share their ideas give them credit for them. Treat these advocates like important members of your team and make them feel a part of your brand. Give them special offers and promotions to make them feel this way. Their opinions and insights can give you valuable information and can even influence the direction of your brand. Simply, honor and invest in these relationships because that is where it all starts.
