Digital Silk, a global digital agency, shares the key branding and digital strategies that can help brands build trust to increase customer retention rates.

The top five branding and digital marketing strategies are:

1. Reward Programs

Reward programs are a marketing tool that incentivizes customers to complete repeat purchases. Companies can reward customers for many desired actions, including: 

    --  -Making branded social posts using appropriate tags or hashtags
    --  -Attending branded events
    --  -Leaving positive reviews
    --  -Making specific or frequent purchases

Reward programs work because they improve retention rates and motivate consumers to stay committed to brands.

2. User-Generated Content

User-generated content (UGC) is any type of content that consumers create and post on social media featuring brands/branded hashtags and exposing their products or services to their followers.

Brands should share these posts on their profiles and include them on their websites to boost credibility, build trust and drive more sales.

3. Storytelling

Storytelling is an effective way to build authenticity and credibility. It helps brands humanize their approach and make customers more receptive to their message. A compelling story will touch audiences' feelings and help in building emotional relationships.

To successfully connect with their customers, businesses should create a unique brand voice, share their values, talk about their experiences and highlight their people.

4. Feedback Incentives

Asking customers for feedback is a chance to build trust and reengage them.

Encouraging feedback helps brands increase customer satisfaction, create better experiences and increase customer retention.

5. Influencer Partnerships

Influencer marketing helps brands expand their reach, as well as cultivate trust.

Influencer recommendations affect their followers' purchasing decisions and brand perception. This increases brand retention, credibility and engagement.

Customer loyalty drives business value, increasing the average basket value per user and providing a sustainable stream of income through repeat purchases.
