What defines a loyal customer to you in your business?

[Fidelia]

Businesses always value loyal customers and always give them some preferential treatment. Not to keep it vague. What is the scope of the attributes that makes a customer to be classified as a "loyal customer"?

Is it number of patronage, timeframe of patronage or any other factor that makes a customer to be regarded as loyal?

 

[Kross]

Any client that has worked with me for more than five times and is still regularly working with me is very loyal.

 

[Augusta]

It is evident in their repeated business, positive word of mouth, and choosing your business over others

For me, a loyal customer is one who can easily refer me to others, respects my rules and regulations and sees my business as their first option not the last.
