Focusing solely on attracting more customers isn't enough.

Marketing Strategies for My Business

There are two marketing strategies to grow a business: customer loyalty and attracting more customers. Both strategies are important and should be applied equally. So, what happens if you focus on just one? The answer is simple: your business won’t be sustainable in the long run. 👀

It’s crucial to find a balance between attracting more customers and fostering loyalty. As you attract buyers, you must find ways to make them fall in love with your brand. Why is this important?

• If you don’t have a retention strategy, the customers you worked so hard (and spent so much money) to acquire will eventually lose interest, especially with increasing competition. Did you know that approximately 60% of new customers don’t come back?
• With a customer loyalty strategy, you’ll make your customers feel heard by your brand and understand their satisfaction levels with your business. Did you know that 96% of dissatisfied customers don’t complain? Most simply choose not to return.
• On the other hand, a satisfied customer will make repeat purchases approximately 60% of the time and is very likely to try and buy most of your products or services.
• The value of a loyal customer over time is much higher when you consider all their purchases across the years—not to mention the value they bring to your brand’s reputation.
• Satisfied customers share their positive experiences with 4 to 6 people, according to the White House Office of Consumer Affairs. Building customer loyalty ensures they’ll refer new buyers to you, helping you grow your customer base organically.
• For any business’s growth, creating new experiences and diversifying your product or service portfolio is essential. A customer loyalty strategy will give you a clearer path to achieving this.
• According to the Harvard Business Review, increasing your customer retention rate by just 5% can boost profits by up to 95%, thanks to more frequent visits and higher average spending per customer.

This information not only highlights the need to retain customers to maintain steady income and support your business’s survival but also shows the potential to increase profits more easily and sustainably through loyalty efforts.

It is five to seven times more expensive to attract a new customer than to retain an existing one. This fact alone shows that focusing solely on acquiring new customers is not profitable. However, using both strategies together will enable you to innovate, differentiate from competitors, diversify your products, improve your service, and strengthen your brand—all while increasing revenue.
