The importance of customer retention
Digital marketing tends to be acquisition focused. Growing your audience and making more sales by finding new customers. What about plans for your existing customers? In our experience the drop-off rate after the first purchase is as high as 90%. That’s a huge missed opportunity.
According to Harvard Business School, “increase your retention rates by 5%, you’ll increase profit by 25% -95%. So a focus on customer retention should play a big part in your future marketing plans.
That’s where Websand comes in.
Managing your customer data based upon when they last bought, how many times they have bought, and how much they are worth.
The segments update based on your customer behaviour so your audience is always managed, and the saving you valuable time and giving you valuable accurate information.
Use segmentation to manage the key touch points of your customer behaviour, e.g. who bought 95 days ago, who bought product X, who has bought twice.
Design your message, with our drag and drop editor, and then connect your marketing to your customer behaviour using automation.
Automation gives you a customer retention engine. Sending marketing at the key time relevant to the behaviour of each customer.
It’s powerful and it works. Automation results are 3x higher than normal sends, and the ROI is off the charts.
