Please clarify the industry area for a better understanding of your customer behavior.
Customer habit can be managed. The business is factorized with the business environment so human element should ostentatiously be considered to keep customer tagged with the organizational culture and value.
A firm should track the changing behavior of the defined customer segment on a regular basis. Through this, the business will retain or even boost the current product offerings which will satisfy or even delight the established market. Always look at the customers in the perspective of 360 degrees to establish loyalty from them and develop a positive customer habit that is favorable to your business.
In my perspective, "a good way to treat customers is not just to be a MANAGER sitting in a chair for the entire hour of his / her duty waiting for his / her employees' report, but to be a manager who can walk about with customers and make a smart observation".
Conducting research (ethnographic and data analytics) on customer experience and developing ways to improve that experience. Communicating well with customers and maintaining relationships.
Definitely keeping up to date with the industry trends as well as companies must use social listening tools to monitor the behavior online.

Para mantener la clientela ante los cambios por la pandemias y otros motivos que el marketing debe ir de la mano con la clientela ofreciendo productos a tiempo, de calidad y de precios asequibles,...
How to improve customer loyalty:
Strengthen the relationship to create a bond of trust.
Offer a service of impeccable quality.
Set up a loyalty program.
Give the customer a voice.
Sell more to those who buy.
Make your offer evolve.
Perhaps it is wrong question. From my professional point of view, it looks like that. Why we have to combat customers habits? Customers are customers and they have certain habits and with enough power and good marketing it is possible to change them. But better is to ask: “How we change our habits to fit that one’s of customers and how we can improve our work to be able make better and reliable predictions?”
Cada cliente tem seu perfil e como bom vendedor, tenho a obrigação de me adaptar aos hábitos do meu cliente e conduzi-lo de forma a mudar a sua necessidade em desejo. Por isso, que cada um é cada um. Mudanças contantes é a palavra de ordem. De acordo com cada perfil, se objetiva o fechamento do negócio.
Well, anticipating and addressing the customers needs is an ongoing challenge for all companies. I would say collecting feedback regularly is one way to be adaptable to the changing habits of the customers.
Il faut focaliser ici sur les désirs des clients et non pas sur leurs besoins. Alors, après de bien comprendre ces diserts, l'entreprise doit essayer de créer un nouveau produit/s ou de modifier les anciens en adéquation avec l'évolution des désirs de ses clients.
How to find out the exact habit of customer surplus, including function, cost, service, etc. you will be the winner.
"If it isn’t broke, don’t fix it."
The time-tested adage appears to be the lesson from Coca-Cola’s disastrous introduction of “New Coke." Except in 1985, Coca-Cola indeed thought its signature brand was broken.
The whole this issue has two sides, as usually anything has. We need to count with external and internal factors at the same time. In this case internal factors of this business are customers’ requirements and expectations. External factors are multinational interests etc. Orientation on one side only is disastrous.
If your customers' habits are changing, your offerings ought to change/evolve also to satisfy the customers. That is, unless you know what Ford knew when he, supposedly said that left with his customers they would be asking for better horses (rather than for the automobile)!
Dear Sol.
Ford you mentioned was in reality fucker and thief. If he says something that made a true, for sure it wasn’t originally his idea. Why present history is full of fucker´s statues and decent people vanish in nowhere? Why opposite of claimed and generally seeing is true? Isn’t this distortion of our history and our lives pity for the whole humankind?
Peter,
I am suggesting a more open-minded, more balanced, analysis of Abu Bashar's question, or the issue. The view that the customer is always right or always the king is, of course, predominant, but the view attributed to Henry Ford, that I referred to, has also been validated given that the automobile ultimately displaced horse-drawn transportation on a large scale. The focus is on the viewpoint of Ford vis-a-vis the customer, not on Ford’s life. Another successful, even if still controversial entrepreneur, Steve Jobs, seems to have echoed Henry Ford in the following: “This is what customers pay us for--to sweat all these details so it's easy and pleasant for them to use our computers. We're supposed to be really good at this. That doesn't mean we don't listen to customers, but it's hard for them to tell you what they want when they've never seen anything remotely like it. Take desktop video editing. I never got one request from someone who wanted to edit movies on his computer. Yet now that people see it, they say, ‘Oh my God, that's great!’” See: https://archive.fortune.com/magazines/fortune/fortune_archive/2000/01/24/272277/index.htm (accessed 07/12/2020). Entrepreneurs who can command the necessary resources and strategy can direct customers to novelty; if this were not so, there would hardly be automation disseminated to buyers/customers given that automation has often displaced human labor sometimes leading to resistance. Finally, read “Don’t Let Your Strategy Be Hijacked” (by your customers) by Carsten Lund Pedersen and Thomas Ritter at https://sloanreview.mit.edu/article/dont-let-your-strategy-be-hijacked/ (accessed 07/12/2020).
It depends upon the nature of product or service marketed and the targeted customer's change in income, spending, life style, consumption patterns
Because of the online store's return to buy zero cost, which buying habit also caused many buyers to add goods to the shopping cart after leaving the service, but in this group of hesitant buyers, but up to 75% of people will eventually give up the checkout. AI to analyze the dynamic changing behavior of consumers while shopping online stores, through the number of mouse clicks, stay time and other variables to tap potential hesitant customers, and create purchase incentives to order, the trajectory into business opportunities.
Dear Sol. I am sorry. Give a better look on the reality as it was and as it is. What you described had many problems and collisions with a true. It is glorification of Ford as it was and as it is presented but it hasn’t connection with a true. It is mastered and fabricated lie. On the other hand, there is marketing point of view. And if marketer has to be objective there is necessary to take to account the parameters and factors influencing selected issue. What you describe as customers satisfaction is one side view only but what the other angles? It is official statement that don’t apply even in the USA and Ford sed about it: “Fuck them!”
I would recommend to try the concept of value co-creation, and support them involve and participate in the co-creation. Marketers need to interact with customers and provide them with different choices. Additionally, we need to create brand engagement with customers.
All business is to, for and by CUSTOMER only.
Understand the customer well, so that we can serve the customer.
it can be done through proper marketing research and infer with data and impose on population. This will be right way to take right decisions
Marketers need to do an extensive analysis of the market situation and understand the customers changing needs and wants. Moreover the cms have lots of options at a single touch and it is very difficult to retain them.. Ensure qualitative products at all times at an affordable price. Keep ur cms satisfied they become your ambassadors.... Try to keep the quality mgmt concept and cm relationship enhancement techniques which will definitely help to retain ur cms.
Continuously deepen the relationship with consumers in a variety of ways to maintain loyalty loops, such as in-depth membership management and optimization of the consumer experience. It's not so much that online consumer loyalty is no longer, it's that the threshold for building loyalty is now cost higher for both platforms and brands.
Con posicionamiento de la marca, segmentación, diferenciación, garantía pos venta, si en realidad soluciona los problemas de las necesidades de la clientela, muchas veces la clientela es mucho más exigente por lo tanto hay que ir de la mano con el cliente, conversar con ellos, conocer sus percepciones, algunas ofertas, sus problemas, la razón de ser son la clientela, y algunas veces crear la demanda.
If enterprises might use e-commerce to sell goods across the domain, cut into low-cost access to the market, SEO and SEM to search for customer preferences and commodity categories, play dynamically adjust goods and price speed, to achieve service, technology, and people, STP (CNN, 2019) competitive advantage.
Yes, it is about "knowing their needs and requirements constantly", and then the research and development division creates the services and products under value-added and customer's surplus.
Dear Abu Basar,
Any marketer who aims to combat with the changing consumer habits must be fired immediately from her/his job in marketing. Marketeers must anticipate constantly changing consumer habits and to offer to operations the ways to satisfy those new habits with superior quality at affordable prices.
Now the customers expect substitutes, complements and supplements at lower cost
The quick fix for companies to retain consumers is to lead them, in case enterprises could not lead them, must follow consumer trends to change the enterprise's own business model. Enterprises only are changed by innovation and adaptation can be activated in the future.
L attest survey says it will be decided by the income of the customers after and during pandemic
Gentlemen. We all know that it is a mix of both principles. Powerful ones can change customers behavior, as present corona virus crises is one from examples, or creation process of European rules is, on the other hand, customers behavior is good to respect, as is given example of past Coca-Cola or France revolution was.
Now we marketers should decide push or pull strategy based on the current change in demand of their product.
Oliver. I have to apology for my present answer. We are marketers and educated analytics. We are able to count exact numbers what to do.
Customer loyalty doesn't sound like a customer, but it costs less and ultimately determines whether an organization can survive. Because the cost of getting a customer is several times higher than retaining a customer. If you keep 30% of your customers each year, you can keep at least the underlying profit.
Abu Bashar
If you are asking the question that what marketers should do to combat the changing customer habit in the context of C0VID-19, I would suggest that marketers first identify the change in customer habit.
In the last six months or so, I have seen that there is gigantic change in customer habits. Today advertising, distribution, sales promotion, branding are no more familiar words in the world of marketing. Due to lock down and lack of cash in the hands of the customers these are not reaping much effective results. Customers today are dependent on their product perceptions only. So a marketer must study customer perceptions about her/ his product and act accordingly. I will give you a simple example. Suppose, you are selling canned juice. A customer has a perception that the quality of your canned juice is not good, then as a marketer you should not try to change the customer's perceptions. Under the circumstances, you should bring out a new vertical of your product and offer the customer. May be that does not sound economical to you. Sometimes a change in packaging may also make the old product look like a new product. You have to thus, depend on presentations to combat customer perceptions.
Respecting and not making any effort to change customer perceptions is the only way for marketers to retain customers during a severe pandemic like the COVID-19.
Last but not the least, Abu, you have raised a great question. Please consider writing a paper on this. That paper will not just help you, but many marketers around the world.
Thank you.
All the best.
Anamitra.
Thank Anamitra Roy for your comperhensive and detailed answer. Let's write paper together.
According to the study, 40% to 50% of our daily activities are caused by habit, not by decision. So what can change a customer's habit is to make progress on a daily day, but that's the hallmark of any compounding process: strong results are always late. The ability to retain customers lies in their acceptance of the enterprise gradually change to the interests of customers, small, slow in the payment, price, service, giveaways facing the positive feedback gradually.
