Businesses spend a lot of time and money acquiring each customer. While acquisition is undoubtedly important, it costs up to seven times more to gain a new customer than to keep a current one!

To retain customers in today’s hyper-competitive, digitally-focused business environment that moves at speed, you’ll need preparation and effort – plus a few tricks and tools up your sleeve. And if you need any further convincing “Just a 5% increase in customer retention can boost profits by as much as 125%!”

If you’re looking to better retain your customers (and this should always be a goal) — begin with these five powerful concepts, listed hereafter. Understanding and applying them will mean greater returns and equally lower costs for your company, no matter your industry.

Yes, customization is being key as customers don't mind switching brands or companies anymore. They don't even blink an eye :(

It's so much harder and time consuming getting new customers vs. retaining what you have.

Thanks for great info Sam!!

#Truth ... Retention is more important than EVER.

Still, a large portion of businesses need to invest serious time + cash into this area! =)

Hi Erik,

Sam has mentioned some great points. People should think about such concepts to please their customers. Personalization is one of the biggest things I would consider.

Thanks Ravi! #Agreed.

When people feel special, they feel wanted.

And when they feel wanted, they are loyal.

Awesome strategy!

My pleasure, Sam!

Those are super interesting techniques to apply.

I definitely like #1: gamification.

I see how these gaming mechanics are easily applicable to a blog or a community.
