<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Every business knows that the best customer is a happy customer. They return again and again, bring their friends and family, and deliver tons of free advertising via word of mouth and social media. But in order to grow that loyal base, you must be keenly aware of your customers' needs and preferences. Drawing on the latest research in the exploding field of positive psychology, Columbia Business School professor Bernd Schmitt offers three unique approaches any business can use to turning a casual customer into a committed fan: <p/><b>- The Feel-Good Method: </b> Use the experience of pleasure and positive emotion to hook new customers, and watch those feel-good moments transform an impulsive buyer into a committed loyalist. <p/><b>- The Values-and-Meaning Method: </b> Attract passionate customers by appealing to their core values, like being socially responsible, protecting the environment, or living a simple life <p/><b>- The Engagement Method: </b> Get customers to notice a unique or limited offer, immerse them in the experience, and have them share it with friends and family. <p/>Schmitt shows marketers, brand managers, and entrepreneurs how to design an authentic and successful campaign that will reach, grow, and sustain a devoted base of customers.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"An established expert on customer experience and global marketing strategy, Schmitt is also a prolific author, and in <i>Happy Customers </i><i>Everywher</i>e he offers insights on customer satisfaction in the context of the growing field of positive psychology." --<i>Choice</i> <p/>"Explores the psychology behind making customers happy, sharing key insights from the burgeoning field of positive psychology...Rendered in digestible and practical sections, Schmitt makes a compelling case for the applications of positive psychology." --<i>Publishers Weekly</i> <p/>"Schmitt has done it again.

He complements his practical advice, with extensive case studies and examples of what well-known (and not so well-known) organizations are already doing. In doing so, he provides a roadmap that businesses can use to create happy customers willing to share their positive views with the world." --<i>Jonathan Copulsky, author of Brand Resilience and National Managing Director, Eminence, Deloitte</i></p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><b>Bernd Schmitt</b> is the Robert D.
