They want brands they can trust.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Authenticity and trust are the stepping stones to nurturing your most valuable marketing assets: your <strong>brand ambassadors<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After all, what\u2019s more credible than hearing from <em>real<\/em> people who genuinely love a brand?\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But brand ambassadors are made, not born, and it\u2019s important to remember that the transformation from website visitor to brand advocate isn\u2019t an instantaneous occurrence. It takes time, effort, and strategy.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That strategy comes down to 8 steps:\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Advocate across the board\u00a0<\/strong><\/li><li><strong>Provide first-rate customer service<\/strong><\/li><li><strong>Encourage customer feedback\u00a0<\/strong><\/li><li><strong>Integrate sharing with product purchasing<\/strong><\/li><li><strong>Support user-generated content<\/strong><\/li><li><strong>Incentivize\u00a0<\/strong><\/li><li><strong>Reward your customers\u00a0<\/strong><\/li><li><strong>Encourage creative partnerships<\/strong><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>But before we get into those, let\u2019s clarify what a brand ambassador is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What is a brand ambassador?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A brand ambassador, also known as a brand advocate, is someone who actively uses your products and services and promotes them simply because they want to.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Brand advocates genuinely love what your business has to offer and believe others will, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What a brand ambassador is not: an <a href=\"https:\/\/zenmedia.com\/blog\/the-same-but-different-influencer-marketing-in-the-b2b-environment\/\">influencer<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Brand ambassadors vs. influencers<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are key differences between ambassadors and influencers.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Influencers tend to have millions of followers, and may not have necessarily used a brand\u2019s product before promoting it on their channels.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ambassadors, however, are already familiar with your products and services. They don\u2019t require compensation to talk about your brand\u2014instead, they are genuinely passionate about your brand and what you stand for.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Companies often reach out to influencers to promote their product. That request could be the first time they ever make contact.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Brand ambassadors, however, may already be spreading the word about your company long before you officially recruit them.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The main difference is brand ambassadors are likely already familiar with your brand, whereas an influencer may be a newcomer.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What does a brand ambassador do?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Typically, brand ambassadors:\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Grow brand awareness through word of mouth\u00a0<\/li><li>Share testimonials on social media<\/li><li>Refer friends and family<\/li><li>Drive traffic to your website<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that you know what a brand ambassador is and what they do, let\u2019s explore how you can turn website visitors into brand ambassadors.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Advocate across the board.\u00a0<\/strong><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want consumers to advocate for your brand, you have to prove it\u2019s worth advocating for.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Is your brand advocating for itself? The way your team talks about your brand is incredibly influential.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All of your communication and messaging should be indicative of your team\u2019s authentic passion for your brand. Genuine enthusiasm is contagious and speaks volumes.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You could even create a \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/monzo.com\/tone-of-voice\/\">tone of voice<\/a>\u201d guide for your team, like Monzo did:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/zenmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/image.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"465\" height=\"355\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" start=\"2\"><li><strong>Provide first-rate customer service<\/strong><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Having superb customer service is a sure-fire way to get customers advocating for your brand.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Customer service leaves a lasting impression. When you have a great experience troubleshooting with a brand, you\u2019re more likely to come back and spread the word.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you have a less than stellar experience, however, you will likely not return <em>and<\/em> let others know about the substandard treatment.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We can\u2019t stress the importance of having amazing customer service enough.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First-rate customer service starts with being accessible. Make sure it\u2019s easy to get in touch with your brand at every stage of the customer journey.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are a few suggestions on how to boost your customer service:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Include a live chat feature on your website<\/li><li>Post frequently asked questions (FAQs) to your website<\/li><li>Create a click to call button on your website so customers can get in touch with a real human\u00a0<\/li><li>Integrate customer service into your social media channels<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" start=\"3\"><li><strong>Encourage customer feedback\u00a0<\/strong><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Consumers like to feel involved and that their opinion matters. Brands that are receptive to feedback help build trust with their customers.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can show website visitors their experience is important to you by highlighting your customer reviews.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Showcasing customer reviews will also help your sales. Spiegel Research found that a product with 5 reviews \u201ccauses purchase likelihood to increase to a factor of nearly 4x.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/zenmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Screen-Shot-2020-10-02-at-10.35.30-AM.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"679\" height=\"620\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Brands that highlight customer reviews show they genuinely care about their users, which goes a long way in cultivating brand loyalty.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" start=\"4\"><li><strong>Integrate sharing with product purchasing<\/strong><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Today\u2019s consumer is highly inclined to post about their purchases, even before the product arrives.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sharing purchases helps raise engagement and brand awareness. It\u2019s also a perfect introduction to becoming a brand ambassador.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Encourage both your first-time customers and returning fans to post about their purchases on social media.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can add social sharing buttons to your order confirmation pages, like Amazon does:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/zenmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/image.jpeg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercegurus.com\/share-your-purchase-with-social-checkout-plugin\/\">Commerce Gurus<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" start=\"5\"><li><strong>Support user-generated content<\/strong><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Sharing <a href=\"https:\/\/zenmedia.com\/blog\/take-user-generated-content-good-great\/\">user-generated content<\/a> (UGC) is also an effective way to get brand advocates.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When consumers share content, they become actively involved in your brand\u2019s story.
