The idea behind customer retention emphasis is simple: there are only finite number of customers any given business can serve. But returning and loyal customers is what makes it possible for the business to perpetually make sales and stay profitable. If we may borrow Pareto’s principle, 80% of your sales come from only 20% of your customers.
According to Invesp, just an increase of 5% in customer loyalty can lead to a 25%-100% increase in profit per customer, and on average, loyal customers are 10x more valuable than first-time customers. Therefore, it is clear nothing beats customer loyalty and retention when it comes to guaranteeing business continuity. So how do you increase customer loyalty?
Customer loyalty programmes are very effective when it comes to retaining customers. In a competitive market where customers can make snap decisions to switch their service providers or suppliers, customer retention programs can make all the difference. For instance, Starbucks has a reward program called My Starbucks Rewards which has significantly contributed to the coffee giant’s growth and profitability – by using our Roam for business platform, you too can start your own loyalty club for your business.
According to an infographic released by Invesp on how loyalty programmes are influencing buying influencers, 69% of customers say that loyalty programs influence their choice of retailer. Customers join loyalty programmes because: they want to save money (57%) and receive rewards (37.5%). 50% of customers say they would change their behaviour to reach higher tier of customer loyalty programme.
Accordingly, 76% of customers believe that loyalty program deepens their relationship with brands. This view is shared by 64% of retailers who view customer retention programs as the best way to connect with customers.
Customer retention isn’t always easy – However at Roam, we make it simple!
With Roam you get a business profile that shows up on our app, which effectively becomes your own app when subscribed – you simply get your customers to follow your venue, from here you can then send your customers loyalty rewards, deals, and discounts, news, offers, events and a whole lot more, directly to the customers phones (like a text message) customised with images!
Sustained customer loyalty programs can see the average customer spend 67% more. This means that loyalty programmes aren’t short-term customer retention strategies. The longer the customer enjoys your loyalty program the more likely that person will remain loyal to your brand.
However, many brands say customer retention is their biggest obstacle. Customers are becoming more and more enlightened and choosy; they won’t settle for second-rate products even if that means switching companies. 66% of customers say they consider poor customer service as the main determinant when changing companies. So it is important to ensure you have excellent customer service as well as a great product.
Brand recognition is also another important factor that increase customer loyalty. In other words, customer retention doesn’t just happen. You have to work hard for it, but as mentioned, at our Roam for business dashboard and management system streamlines the process and provides you the perfect tools to get started!
