The need to belong is among the human needs established by Maslow in his famous pyramid showing the hierarchy of human needs.
It is therefore a fundamental motivation within human behavior. In the context of sales, we can take advantage of this need by creating a sense of belonging that is implicit in our offer.
This can imply different things depending on the case and characteristics or nature of our offer, but in general it consists of highlighting how our product or service is part of an exclusive community or how it puts you in communion with a group of people with similar interests.
By creating a sense of belonging, we can increase customer identification with our brand and foster a sense of loyalty and commitment. This is mainly achieved by offering exclusive benefits or privileges to our customers. With them, we can reinforce this sense of belonging and differentiate ourselves from the competition.
In conclusion, by creating a sense of belonging in our offer, we can increase the emotional connection with our customers and improve our retention and loyalty rates, because our customer community is super wonderful, and we are sure that everyone would want to belong to it.
This, of course, does not have to be a fantasy, but should really be a truly grounded sense of belonging. Hence the importance of taking care of our customer community and really offering them certain exclusive advantages.
