Customer loyalty has a direct impact on financial results, as well as prestige and brand image. The influence of a satisfied customer can be more decisive than any marketing strategy, since:

A loyal customer consumes more. A study on American companies found that 40% of online shopping revenue comes from regular customers, who represent only 8% of ecommerce visitors (Adobe).
The satisfied customer shares their positive experience in networks and through word of mouth. It is one of the most effective forms of marketing that exists.
All your clients can become great clients. After purchasing the first product, a customer has a 27% chance of buying back at the same place. If you get that customer back and make a second purchase, the chances of returning increase up to 45% and, in the case of a third purchase, that percentage rises to 54% chance of making another purchase.
