The Value of a Customer Partnership

Jul 25, 2024

Businesses often describe the relationship they have with their customers as a partnership. A partnership implies mutually beneficial cooperation between the parties in the relationship. A partnership also implies a relationship that’s more than simply transactional. You usually don’t hear people use the term partnership to describe eCommerce, for example.

What makes a partnership work? The foundation of any successful partnership is trust, and as the saying goes, trust must be earned, and trust is earned by delivering on commitments. Successful partnerships can withstand an occasional failure to deliver on a commitment when unforeseen events or circumstances render the business unable to deliver on the commitment. The global supply chain crisis triggered by the COVID pandemic is a memorable case in point.

On the other hand, if a business routinely fails to deliver on its commitments to its customers, these partnerships will eventually crumble and the business will lose a customer. In view of how much time and effort goes into creating and sustaining a customer partnership, this outcome can be catastrophic for a business.

Let’s frame this discussion in more tangible terms. Labels play a strategic role in delivering safety messaging to all stakeholders along a product’s value chain, or to say it another way, a product’s “critical path”.  A safety label is a very visible form of communication that happens to be the closest and readily available safety messaging to anyone who directly or indirectly handles or uses the product throughout the product lifecycle. Your safety labels must deliver on the purpose they are intended for – failure is not an option with so much at risk when it comes to employee, customer and community safety.
