Did you know it costs 5x as much to obtain a new customer as it does to keep an existing one! A good rule in business is to retain customers and build a relationship with them in return for loyalty. You can do this multiple ways – I will explain, but first let me talk to you about Customer Retention in your business. 

Do you think with your heart or your mind? In other words do you consider how you feel or how much it costs when purchasing a product or service?

Me? I would say a bit of both but when I purchase something with emotion I will stick with that brand regardless of other factors.

Emotional Loyalty is what businesses strive for. Consumers will look to one particular brand regardless of price, convenience or other factors because they have a personal, ’emotional’ connection to the brand

4 Tips to help increase customer retention in your business

Be consistent

Communicate
