Ripple CX

Customer appreciation and recognition

Our approach to customer appreciation and recognition creates a ripple effect for both you and your customers, winning them over now and setting them up to spread the word and keep coming back. ​

Whether experiencing new touchpoints or enhancements to existing ones, customers remember such standout moments and respond with repeat business — generating a high, significant, ​return on investment for you.

These moments lead to desired behavior ​ completion and optimized purchase ​behaviors in the short term, as well as ​improved retention, NPS, and ​lifetime value in the long term.

The behavioral economics of customer appreciation and recognition

High efficacy rewards and experiences

There are many ways to express appreciation, but the most effective leverage the power of repeatable,  promotable, and sociable rewards and experiences. High impact rewards and experiences create ripples. Not only are customers motivated to bring you repeat business, but they are more likely to offer positive reviews and encourage word-of-mouth referrals. Loyalty management nurtures ​ the customers you have and attracts new ones.

The endowment effect

When you give someone a physical gift, it often becomes more than just an object — it can hold emotional value that goes far beyond its cost. ​ If the gift is rare or hard to find, its limited availability makes it feel even more special and desirable. This idea doesn’t just apply to items — it works for memorable experiences, too!

Reciprocity

Giving a gift triggers a desire to return the favor.
