French term

Client ambassadeur

French to English Marketing Marketing
Hello,

Client ambassadeur is market research jargon to describe customers that would recommend a brand to people.
Is there a similar term in English ?
I also need the opposite term, see other post.

Thanks !

vera-tech, thanks but "client displaying positive brand awareness" is too vague and not catchy enough.
Alain, thanks for the link, I like Customer Evangelist. I also saw "Ambassador", what do you think of it ?
DjoulZ (X) (asker) Sep 26, 2007:
Hi Nina and thanks for asking.

The customer does not get any money for recommending the brand and there's nothing official like a contract between him and the brand. It's a spontaneous process like when someone asks you "do you know a good dentist?" and you give him the name of your dentist. You will earn nothing from the dentist. Hope this clarifies my question
Nina Iordache Sep 26, 2007:
If the customer applies for affiliation and receives money for the recommendations, then he is an affiliate customer. Hope this helps!

Customer Evangelist

Customer evangelists are vocal consumers who come from all walks of life. What they share in common is that they gush with enthusiasm online about their favorite products and services -- perhaps even yours. Ben McConnell and Jackie Huba coined the phrase in their 2002 breakthrough marketing book, "Creating Customer Evangelists: How Loyal Customers Become a Volunteer Sales Force," a must-read for today's marketers.
