There are two key ways to grow your business. The first is to continuously acquire new customers. The second is to focus on retaining existing clients and increasing their lifetime value (CLTV). Although the first way can work for a while, it’s not sustainable and too expensive.

Loyalty programs are still one of the most powerful and effective ways to increase your customer lifetime value.

The reason is because it’s a virtuous cycle – when you reward your customers for choosing you instead of our competitors, they will be more likely to pick you over your competitor next time around.

In this episode of Email Einstein, our hosts Vira and Alissa are joined by Tim Peckover, Senior Manager of Marketing & Community at Smile.io.
