?️ In a world where brand loyalty can seem fleeting, Ken Schmidt, former Director of Communications for Harley-Davidson, offers a unique perspective on cultivating a passionate and loyal customer base.

How can businesses build a passionate and loyal customer base? Let’s look at those who tattoo Harley-Davidson’s logo, for example. As Ken Schmidt, former Director of Communications for the company, states: those tattoos symbolize a deep emotional connection to the brand’s community and culture, not just its products. This profound loyalty underscores the importance of creating a culture that resonates personally with customers.

In our conversation, Schmidt debunks the myth that customer loyalty is solely tied to the product itself, emphasizing that true loyalty is directed toward the people and culture behind the brand. He asserts that the key to fostering loyalty is delight—creating experiences that make customers feel valued and happy.

To build loyalty, businesses should focus their efforts on elevating and celebrating their brand’s culture and people.

By being visibly passionate and engaging to create memorable experiences, it shifts the brand’s focus from mere product promotion to building lasting emotional connections with customers.
