Focus on retaining existing customers to reduce your costs! 

Acquiring new customers is expensive. Which is why it makes sense to retain existing ones. Focusing on customer satisfaction and building loyalty is key to cutting costs. But how? Firstly, listen to your customers! Put in place a continual improvement process, collect feedback and deliver the best possible customer experience.

 

After all, an optimal experience builds loyalty! 91% of dissatisfied customers don’t buy again from brands who haven’t met their needs and expectations (Source: Lee Ressources). So, dissatisfaction has a direct impact on your brand image and revenue. 

  • What are "customer costs"?

    “Customer costs” refer mainly to the cost of acquiring a customer. In other words, the average amount spent to convert a lead into a customer.

     

    The customer acquisition cost is an indicator used to measure the effectiveness and efficiency of marketing acquisition levers. Of course, there are several ways to reduce the cost of acquiring new customers, including a retention strategy by measuring satisfaction.

     

    Indeed, customer costs are closely linked to satisfaction. For example, if a dissatisfied customer posts a negative review, you will have to spend more to convince and convert your leads. Whereas, if your customers are satisfied, they will post positive reviews and acquiring new customers will require less investment.

  • How can you build brand loyalty?

    Building loyalty is key to reducing both acquisition and customer service costs. But this is easier said than done!

     

    How do you build loyalty? By improving your customer journey and therefore overall satisfaction with your brand’s buying experience.

     

    Customer journeys have become more complex with companies’ digital transformation and the creation of phygital journeys. Consumers expect more authenticity and interaction with brands.

     

    They want personalized journeys and communications. Your brand needs to meet these new demands to satisfy and enchant them.
