Thanks Duncan...for the appreciation, motivation and your views! Thought I should let people know why brand loyalty is becoming scarce...much a do about it in the first place and less focus on what you rightly say...failure in trying not to give anyone a reason Not to go back.

Very intelligent - and different - ideas, Mariam.

I agree. Judging by the multitude of articles that suggest it's possible for a brand to gain anything like the kind of loyalty people give their family & friends, I'd say it's about time, too.

I loved the part about consumers maybe just wanting to be adventurous & try something new - just for the heck of it.

I also think brand loyalty need not be anywhere near 100% at any given time - it's easily possible to be loyal to several competing brands in one niche if they all offer good products with different points of differentiation. I may buy from brand A this time intending to go back to them, but buy from brand B next, then C, then B, then back to A - but I plan on going back.

I think the real problem for brands is to Try not to give anyone a reason Not to go back - like you said, there's way too much competition.
