Brands Must Deliver At Every Customer Touchpoint

People no longer just buy products. They buy brands.

Increasingly they also buy experiences.

Brands must deliver at every customer touchpoint – not just through advertising campaigns, public relations or look good in social media.

Think about how you feel when all the components of an experience are in harmony. Like the experience at a superb restaurant, the music, lighting, service and – of course – the food.

At Equal Strategy, we have a natural enthusiasm for helping clients create a fully integrated brand experience that aligns with your brand strategy.

Neglecting certain components of the brand experience is detrimental to the potential and overall power of the brand.

At Equal Strategy, we provide sensory mechanisms to redress the balance and make a difference at your most human touch-points throughout your customer journey…… on both telephone and business premises.

Client Testimonials

Fragrance

80% of our decisions are influenced by what we smell.

Equal Strategy’s bespoke fragrancing services help clients build deeper emotional bonds between their customers and their brands.

Fragrance concepts are designed to reflect the brand’s personality and positioning and create the desired mood of a space. They bring it to life in new ways enhancing other ambient approaches as well as more traditional expressions of the brand. They make new connections between brands and their customers.

Equal Strategy uses the services of Drom, one of the world’s top three fine fragrance houses that provide fragrances for some of the world’s top brands.

Fragrances are a powerful brand-building tool because our sense of smell is the only sense directly linked to our brain centre for memory and emotion.  

In this way, fragrances have the ability to generate positive emotions, creating changes in mood and behaviour which in turn lead to a more positive and enjoyable brand experience for customers.

Sensory Marketing: Telephone Music & Messaging

The Forgotten Touchpoint

The telephone is one of the most frequently used and most important brand touchpoints. However, callers are often disappointed or frustrated when they try to reach a company by telephone. Their experience simply doesn’t match the glossy print ads and TV commercials.

For even great brands, this can be a point of vulnerability. It’s a major reason why customers switch brands and one of the most effective ways of eroding hard-won brand equity. 

Well-designed telephone on-hold experiences retain more callers and well constructed Call Automation systems allow callers to get the response they want quickly and efficiently, enhancing customer satisfaction.

Enhancer - Telephone on Hold Messaging

Enhancer provides callers with brand-aligned music and interlaced messages. 

Your customers will hear messages voiced by International and Asian, professional radio and television presenters. The result is a positive and enjoyable on-hold telephone experience. 

Content can be scheduled to suit specific requirements for time and day of the week, and updated to meet tactical messaging requirements for particular food and beverage outlets or spa programmes.

Call Automation (IVR - Interactive Voice Response)

A properly functioning IVR system allows you to enhance customer satisfaction, improve customer loyalty, up-sell and cross-sell services and improve the overall efficiency and effectiveness of your contact centre. 

Your IVR should enable your customers to do business with you in a way that reflects your brand and your values. 

For most businesses, IVR is the most important touchpoint with their customers, and most people hate using it – but not for long!
