Businesses need to prepare for customers to come back, and it shouldn’t stop there.
Thought needs to be given on how to retain your customers.
By engaging with customers and understanding their likes and dislikes, this can make a significant difference to the success of a business. Statistics (Markinblog) clearly show the difference a retention initiative makes to any business:
The following details why Customer Retention should feature so highly for businesses.
60 to 70% is the possibility selling to an existing customer compared to a new customer of 5 to 20%
It can cost up to 700% to acquire a new customer
Typically 65% of your business will come from existing customers
67% of Loyal Customers spend more than new ones
By retaining just 5% of your customers you can increase your profits by 25% to as much as 95%
93% of your customers are likely to make repeat purchases who offer excellent customer service
On this last point, do not assume you are offering excellent service, confirm that you are by giving your customers an easy way to let you know.
