			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>An interesting article by <a href="http://www.brandweek.com/bw/content_display/news-and-features/packaged-goods/e3i8a272e828df3eab128eba39058527f12?imw=Y">Brandweek.com</a>, discussed current consumer shopping trends. Sourcing a BrandIndex poll in 2008, there is a strong consumer trend to stick with tried and true brands.</p>
<p>The poll reveals more insight into the customer&#8217;s mind then just what are the top brands.  It proves the theory of customers buying with loyalty to long-standing brands.</p>
<p>For instance, a twenty-something may purchase Clorox because she or he grew up in a household that was brand loyal. Building loyalty with consumer&#8217;s is something all brands and retailers seek out.  It also requires understanding of what your customer is looking for.</p>
<p>Customer&#8217;s tend to build loyalty to a brand and retailer when experiences are positive.  Not just one experience, but consistent satisfaction with the product or retailer.  Measuring your customer experience with survey&#8217;s, demos, and product promotion can help in understanding where your brand is lacking in image, value, and experience.</p>
<p>Brands and retailers that have successfully built a loyal customer base understand the importance of research.  It&#8217;s the indicators of where your being successful with your customer&#8217;s experience and where there is room for improvement.</p>
