Yes indeed, because:
1_ Loyal customers are your advocates – you don’t just sell them a product/service, you provide them with a great product and a great service to boot. Such that they are pretty enthusiastic when it comes to talking about you to their colleagues, friends and anyone else that will listen!

Loyal customers appreciate a business that, regardless of being superior in most aspects, still has that willingness to make an effort. The dual benefit being, loyal customers stay, and new customers are easy to capture.
