Course outline

1. Tools you'll need

   5 min · Lesson notes, example, action task · 2-question quiz

   Loyalty work needs a customer list, a way to ask for feedback and a simple way to track repeat business. Most small businesses can use tools they already have.
2. What Loyalty Really Means

   9 min · Lesson notes, example, action task · 2-question quiz

   Loyalty is not the same as repeat purchases driven by discounts. Genuine loyalty means customers choose you again because the experience is consistently good and they trust you.
3. Drivers of Repeat Business

   9 min · Lesson notes, example, action task · 2-question quiz

   Repeat business is driven by reliability, ease, value and feeling recognised. Understanding which of these matters most to your customers helps you focus your effort where it counts.
4. Designing Consistent Touchpoints

   9 min · Lesson notes, example, action task · 2-question quiz

   Touchpoints are every moment a customer interacts with you. Consistency across them, from the first website visit to the follow-up after purchase, makes the experience feel reliable and personal.
5. Using Customer Feedback

   9 min · Lesson notes, example, action task · 2-question quiz

   Feedback is useful only when it is collected, understood and acted on. Ask at the right moments, keep surveys short and close the loop with customers who take the time to respond.
6. Measuring Loyalty

   9 min · Lesson notes, example, action task · 2-question quiz

   Loyalty can be measured with a few simple indicators, such as repeat purchase rate, customer retention and a likelihood-to-recommend question. Track them consistently so you can see whether changes are working.
7. Careers & next steps

   5 min · Lesson notes, example, action task · 2-question quiz
