While cultivating consumer relationships is a priority, today many brandsare doing it in a way that leaves them vulnerable. The who, what, where, when, how and why of consumer relationships matters. If you're relying on a social networking site to house your consumer relationships, you are vulnerable. If you're qualifying a consumer relationship as merely part of your email database, you are vulnerable. If your consumers' incentive to be loyal is driven by transactional behavior, you are vulnerable.
