The song describes a performing pony that has learned only one trick, and he succeeds or fails with the audience based on how well he executes it. As Simon conveys in the lyrics: “He’s got one trick to last a lifetime. It’s the principal source of his revenue.” This song, and its message, are something of a metaphor for what challenges many companies endeavoring to create customer advocacy behavior and relationships, leading to more frequent purchase activity, through customer experience and loyalty programs. A key reason companies have a difficult time achieving optimum customer loyalty is that the fail to provide full value fundamentals. They focus on satisfying customers exclusively through basic rational and functional benefits, which is often too benign and passive an approach to create strategic perceived value. Mostly, they emphasize single element or minimal element tactical approaches with customers, such as pricing, merchandise, loyalty cards, or points-based programs, without determining (either before programs are launched or after they are up and running) whether this is sufficient motivation for building a long-term relationship. Smart marketers know that, for instance, being a low-cost provider can be a trap and that only overall perceived value will prevail.
