A short YouTube talk describing a quantitative view of customer loyalty: the speaker claims that becoming a dedicated customer requires roughly seven hours of engagement across 11 touchpoints and four platforms, and argues most businesses are not structured to achieve this. The example contrasts passive website visits with deeper engagement activities like podcasts that accumulate time over weeks.

On average, in order to be, like a dedicated customer of your brand, somebody needs to spend seven hours with you across 11 touch points and on four different platforms. This is the problem is the majority of businesses like yours, there's no way you could do that. They're going to spend seven hours on your website looking at an About Us page that doesn't even have pictures of your team. Like, it's a preposterous thing to think about, but when you have a podcast, I could listen to your podcast for three months. I've now spent seven hours with you.
