Customer loyalty is one of the fundamental pillars for the success and sustainable growth of any business. At Ibercenter, we have seen it first-hand: a satisfied customer not only comes back, but also becomes an ambassador for your brand. In a market as competitive as today’s, retaining a customer is equally or even more important than attracting new ones.
Why? Because loyal customers generate more revenue over time, lower operating costs, and they also recommend your business to others, which boosts word of mouth, one of the most effective ways to attract new customers. In fact, studies show that it is five to seven times more expensive to attract a new customer than to keep an existing one. What’s more, a loyal customer tends to spend more because they trust your company and will not hesitate to turn to it for their future needs.
However, customer loyalty is not an automatic process. It requires careful strategies, quality service and an impeccable customer experience. At Ibercenter, we know that this is a job that is built day by day, providing not only what the customer needs, but exceeding their expectations, making the relationship long-lasting and solid.
At the end of the day, a good loyalty strategy not only improves your bottom line, but also strengthens the image of your business, consolidating your position in the market and allowing your brand to grow organically and sustainably.
Know your customer
To build customer loyalty, the first and most important thing is to know them well. This goes far beyond knowing their names or the type of products or services they buy. It is about thoroughly understanding their needs, expectations and behaviours. Only through this in-depth knowledge can you offer them a service that really adds value and makes them feel unique.
The first step in this process is segmentation. Not all customers are the same, so you should not treat them as if they were. Each customer has his or her own motivations, interests and preferences. For example, in a business centre like Ibercenter, some of our clients may be looking for flexibility and adaptable spaces, while others may value additional services such as personalised attention or networking options.
Analysing these different profiles will allow you to group customers into segments with common characteristics, thus facilitating a much more targeted approach to your strategies.
Once you have these profiles clear, it is essential to customise the service you offer. At Ibercenter, we are aware that it is not just about renting an office or a meeting room. Each client has different expectations, and success lies in being able to adapt to them. For example, if we know that a client is looking to project a more exclusive corporate image, we can recommend an office in an emblematic location such as our Velázquez centre. On the other hand, if what they need is a flexible space for one-off meetings, the coworking option may be the perfect solution.
Personalisation is not only about offering the right space, but also about adjusting the services and the way they are treated. A customer who values fast and uncomplicated service will appreciate a fast and uncomplicated service, while a customer who values close contact will appreciate a more dedicated and personal service. This tailor-made approach not only increases customer satisfaction, but also strengthens their loyalty to your company, making them see your business as a partner that truly understands and responds to their needs.
In short, knowing your customers, segmenting them appropriately and offering them a personalised service is key to establishing a lasting and trusting relationship. It is the best way to ensure that they not only come back, but that they speak well of you and recommend you.
The importance of experience
Offering an exceptional experience is the key to differentiation in today’s competitive market. At Ibercenter, we have learned that it is not enough to have top-quality facilities or well-structured services; what really makes the difference is customer service and the ability to positively surprise in every interaction.
Customer service is much more than resolving queries or handling requests. It is, in essence, the foundation on which customer trust and loyalty is built. If a customer feels valued, listened to and understood, they are much more likely to return and recommend your business to others. From the moment a customer comes into contact with us, we strive to make them feel supported at all times. Being able to anticipate their needs and provide solutions before they become problems is a fundamental part of exceptional customer service.
But it’s not just about direct contact; every point of contact with the customer should be an opportunity to enhance their experience. Whether it is the first contact over the phone, when making a reservation or during their stay in our spaces, the experience must be smooth, pleasant and memorable. At Ibercenter, we take care of every detail, from the quality of our meeting rooms to the efficiency of the services we offer, such as call forwarding or correspondence management. It is these details that make a positive impact, allowing the client to concentrate on their business without worrying about the logistics.
Improving the user experience means constantly analysing every interaction. It is not just about providing a good initial service, but about reviewing all customer touch points, whether digital or face-to-face, and making sure they are as efficient and pleasant as possible. In an environment such as business centres, this can mean anything from optimising the process of accessing the premises, making sure the customer can get in and out easily 24 hours a day, to offering additional services that make their day-to-day life easier.
An exceptional experience also includes the ability to react quickly and efficiently when something does not go as expected. Not everything is always perfect, but what distinguishes a good service from an excellent one is the ability to resolve any issues quickly and satisfactorily. At Ibercenter, our team is always available to deal with any problems that arise, offering personalised solutions that demonstrate that we care about the well-being of our customers.
Constant communication
Constant and personalised communication is one of the most powerful tools for keeping customer relationships alive. It’s not just about keeping them informed, it’s about making them feel that they are an important part of your business. At Ibercenter, we know that a customer who feels they are at the centre of communication is a customer who stays. That is why it is essential to use communication channels strategically, taking care of each message and adapting it to the needs and preferences of each person.
Using newsletters, emails and social media is a great way to keep in touch on a regular basis, but for these tools to be truly effective, they must go beyond simply passing on information. Newsletters can’t just be a generic newsletter; they have to offer content that is relevant to the customer, useful information and news that really piques the customer’s interest. If a client has rented an office or meeting room, they might be interested in finding out about upcoming networking activities we organise at Ibercenter or receiving tips on how to optimise the use of their space. Personalising the content of these communications is key to making the customer feel that the information is targeted specifically at them.
Social networks also play a fundamental role in this constant communication strategy. Not only do they allow us to interact more closely and directly with customers, but they also help to build a community around the brand. At Ibercenter, we use the networks to inform about events, share experiences of other customers, show new developments in our centres and, above all, to listen to our users. Social networks are not only for talking, but also for listening and learning what customers value and need at any given moment.
However, not all customers have the same interests and do not respond in the same way to the same messages. This is where segmentation in communications becomes crucial. We cannot send the same message to a start-up in search of growth as to a consolidated company looking for stability and comfort in its day-to-day business. For this reason, at Ibercenter we work to identify what type of information is of interest to each client and we segment our communications so that they are as relevant and effective as possible. An entrepreneur may be more interested in networking opportunities or flexible services, while a large company is more likely to value the logistical facilities or the exclusive services we offer at our flagship centres.
Personalisation does not only mean using the customer’s name in the mail or in a direct message but tailoring the content to what really matters to them, offering solutions to their current needs or anticipating future interests. In this way, you not only maintain contact with the customer, but you also reinforce customer loyalty by showing that you understand their needs and are willing to continually provide value.
Ask for feedback
Seeking and listening to customer feedback is a fundamental practice for any business that aspires to continually improve. At Ibercenter, we understand that feedback from our customers is one of the most valuable tools we have to identify what we are doing well and what we can optimise. No matter how well you think you are doing things, there is always room for improvement, and often, the best way to detect this is by listening to those who experience your services on a daily basis.
One of the most effective methods of collecting this information is through surveys. At Ibercenter we use satisfaction surveys to measure our customers’ experience on a regular basis. These surveys allow us to get a direct and honest view on aspects as varied as the quality of our facilities, customer service or the additional services we offer. It is important that these surveys are clear, easy to answer and, above all, ask the right questions. Asking about specific aspects, such as the availability of staff, the comfort of the spaces or the agility in the management of services, gives us useful and concrete information about areas in which we can continue to improve.
Beyond formal surveys, it is also essential to maintain an open attitude to receiving spontaneous feedback. At Ibercenter, we value the opinions that come directly to us, whether in informal conversations, through social media or any other interaction with our customers. It is crucial to always be willing to listen and, most importantly, to demonstrate that this feedback does not fall on deaf ears. When a customer feels that their opinion is listened to and taken into account, their bond with the company is strengthened, and they become active partners in improving services.
Feedback will not always be positive, and this is where the ability to take advantage of constructive criticism comes into play. Critical feedback should not be seen as an attack, but as an opportunity to identify problems and, above all, to improve. At Ibercenter, when we receive criticism, whether it is about a specific aspect or something more general, the first thing we do is to analyse it objectively. What is behind the criticism? Is it a problem that only affects that client or more people? Can we solve it immediately or does it require a more in-depth review?
Once the cause has been identified, the important thing is to act. If a customer mentions that the process of booking a room is complicated, we review the system to simplify it. If someone points out that they need more flexibility in the access times to the facilities, we analyse whether it is feasible to implement an improvement in this regard. The bottom line is that every constructive criticism must be accompanied by an effort to adapt and improve, thus demonstrating to customers that their opinions are not only listened to but transformed into concrete actions.
Communicating those changes is just as important. When customers see that their feedback has been the catalyst for service improvements, not only do they feel heard, but they also feel that they are an active part of business development. At Ibercenter, we keep our customers informed of the adjustments and improvements we implement, either through emails or in our follow-up meetings, and we thank them for helping us to be better every day.
In short, seeking and listening to feedback is essential to continue growing as a company. Customer surveys and opinions give us a real insight into their needs and expectations, and constructive criticism, far from being a problem, is an invaluable opportunity to adapt and improve. The key is to know how to listen, analyse objectively and, above all, act in order to continue offering a service that meets our customers’ expectations.
