Because of the hyper-connectedness of our modern world, particularly when it comes to how businesses use social media, how your customers perceive you can make or break your profit margin. The good news is that research shows businesses that take CSR seriously are more likely to garner interest from wider audiences, particularly the millennial and Gen Z markets. When it comes to social responsibility, you need consumers to trust you. So having a robust CSR policy can help boost your reputation among customers – both existing and potential. As a business regarded for its strong reputation on social issues, you will in turn generate trust and loyalty from buyers, which has the knock-on effect of greater cash flow and market traction.

Overall, the industry is navigating a delicate balance between staying relevant, respecting diverse viewpoints, and maintaining brand integrity in an increasingly politicized environment.

According to Edelman's new report, 71% of consumers believe that when under pressure, brands must take a position. With social polarisation increasing around the world, that certainly puts brands in a bind -- which position is the right one? The one we believe in, even if it will make consumers angry? The one that will make consumers satisfied here, but angry over there? The one that will make least consumers least angry? Trust is so hard to build, but it matters -- consumers who fully trust a brand are more likely to purchase that brand, stay loyal to it, and advocate for it. Loyalty not only earns brands their customers’ business, but it will also grant them forgiveness when it makes a mistake. https://lnkd.in/eDnbzbQ9 #trust #brands #consumers #polarisation #loyalty #geopolitics
