Why I like repeat customers

I realize that repeat customers are a lucrative part of any business. I want to be clear here—I’m not telling you to abandon new customer acquisition efforts. Every business should have both Customer Acquisition and Customer Retention marketing programs.

But if you are like many businesses, you focus the bulk of your time and marketing budget on acquiring new customers. In comparison, you fail to devote much time and effort to existing clients and repeat business opportunities.

By focusing more on new business, you leave a LOT of easy-to-get money on the table. 

When your business needs to increase revenue, where’s the first place you look? 

I bet at efforts to bring in new customers.

But, what if you spent more of your time focusing on your most valuable resource…

Your existing customers.

Concentrating on customer retention and encouraging repeat customers creates long-lasting, profitable relationships.

There are 5 reasons why you should focus your efforts on repeat business. 

Repeat Customers Spend More
Repeat Customers Are Easier To Sell To
New Customers Cost You More
Repeat Customers Refer More
Customer Retention Is What Businesses Are Built On

Go Beyond the Numbers to Unveil the Stories Data Tells

Numbers, by themselves, are inert. They are mere digits, devoid of context or meaning. To truly understand the story they hold, we must go beyond the raw data and enter into the narrative it reveals. This requires a nuanced approach, one that goes beyond simply presenting the figures and instead seeks to illuminate the insights they offer. The first step in interpreting data is to identify the surprises it presents. What findings defy expectations? What appears counter-intuitive? These unexpected insights often hold the key to understanding the deeper implications of the data. For instance, if a study reveals a surprising correlation between two seemingly unrelated factors, it prompts us to question our assumptions and explore the underlying mechanisms at play. When comparing multiple datasets, it is crucial to highlight both similarities and disparities. By drawing attention to the points of convergence and divergence, we gain a richer understanding of the overall picture. For example...

The Quest for Impact in Consumer Decisions Goes Beyond Price

It’s a common misconception that price is the sole driver of purchasing decisions. While cost certainly plays a role, a more in-depth understanding of consumer psychology reveals a more nuanced reality. Google’s Head of Research, Justin De Graaf, sheds light on this complexity by identifying six distinct attitudes that online searchers exhibit: Help me: This attitude reflects a need for practical assistance and problem-solving. Reassure me: This attitude signifies a desire for confidence and validation in a purchase. Educate me: This attitude indicates a thirst for knowledge and understanding about a product or service. Surprise me: This attitude represents a yearning for novelty and unexpected experiences. Impress me: This attitude signifies a desire for status and recognition associated with a purchase. Thrill me: This attitude reflects a craving for excitement and emotional engagement. It’s the last three attitudes, Surprise me, Impress me, and Thrill me, that hold the key to unders...

Turning Delay into Productivity

We all know the feeling: that looming deadline, the unfinished task, the nagging voice in our head telling us to “just do it.” Procrastination, the act of delaying, is a universal human experience. While often considered a negative trait, procrastination can actually be harnessed as a powerful tool for productivity and self-care. Instead of viewing procrastination as a weakness, consider it a gift. It allows us to pause, reflect, and make conscious choices about how we spend our time and energy. The act of delaying can prevent us from overcommitting and taking on tasks we don’t truly want or have the capacity to handle. When faced with a request or an opportunity, take a moment to consider. Say you need to check your schedule and give yourself a day or two to think it over before committing. This delay can help you avoid saying yes to things you might later regret. The irony of procrastination is that it can actually lead to increased productivity. When faced with a large, daunting tas...
