Loyalty is earned not in good times when everything works, but when customers can run into issues. Hence, the loyalty of customers is dependent on your operational efficiency.
Do you run your services always without errors? If the answer is no, you should be thinking about retention processes and saving the customer in a time when they might be thinking about leaving to the competition.
The cost of acquiring a new customer can be higher than that of retaining a customer by as much as 700%.
An effective churn management process is a good tool to increase overall company profitability. To achieve this goal, however, you need to understand the value of your customer, their preferences and motivation as well as properly set-up the bottom line on how much costs an organization can spent to keep particular segments of customers on books. Effective set-up of retention campaigns requires deep analysis of historical data with a goal of:
- Identification of endangered customer segments with similar characteristics
- Understanding of preferences of each defined customer segment
- Calculation of customer lifetime value and bottom line for retention costs
- Definition of proper retention strategy and tools for each customer segment
Increasing customer retention rates by a mere 5% could increase profits by 25% to 95%.
