CUSTOMER RETENTION SERVICES

5% RETENTION CAN EQUAL 25%-95% IN PROFIT GROWTH

It Is True. 5% Retention Can Equal 25%-95% in Profit Growth

Did you know? Even a small increase in customer retention rates can substantially boost your profits. According to a Harvard Business School study, increasing customer retention rates by just 5% can grow your profits by an impressive 25-95%! Do you want to know more about how a customer retention program or campaign can help your business?

Studies from the U.S. Small Business Administration and U.S. Chamber of Commerce found new customer acquisition can cost a company as much as 5 to 7 times more than simply retaining existing customers. 

With numbers like these, developing sound customer retention strategies is one of the most important things your business can do. However, many companies focus more on acquiring customers, even though it requires a much greater investment. Why wouldn’t your company do both – work to retain current customers while putting forth a strong effort to acquire new customers? Keeping customers should be part of any company’s business strategy and marketing strategy! 

One of the greatest components to the incredible achievements of companies like Amazon and Zappos is their ability to instill customer loyalty within their existing customers. Customer acquisition is important to them, but loyal customers are their “bread and butter”. Because customer loyalty and eliminating churn are priorities to smart companies like Amazon and Zappos, customer experience, customer satisfaction, and user experience are factors they plan for, in both their business strategy and marketing strategy. 

B2B companies can follow this model of successful B2C companies who make happy customers, keeping customers, customers experience, customer support, and customer satisfaction a central focus to the way they do business. 

Intelemark Helps Companies Optimize
Past Efforts and Current Customers

Once you invest the time and energy to bring in new customers, you want to keep them loyal to your brand. Intelemark’s Customer Retention will help you do just that. Our experienced team will work with you to develop customer retention strategies that strike the right balance between “before” and “after.” In other words, you don’t want to focus the majority of your effort on always soliciting new business. Although we help you acquire new customers, we’ll also work with you on customer and client retention to keep the ones you already have. It is absolutely a strategy your company should have in its toolbox. Repeat customers are far more cost-effective than always searching to increase your customer base only through new prospects who don’t already have knowledge about or a relationship with your company. Take the opportunity to capitalize on your past efforts and the hard work already done.

To get started with Intelemark, we encourage you to examine your customer retention strategies, retention marketing plan, and messaging.
