Customer retention is the name of the game this week. Vira and Alissa are back with special guest Robbie Fitzwater to give you the ins and outs of customer retention.
Acquisition is where most businesses and marketers focus their time. Building a vast customer base is inherently appealing. It’s addictive. But it’s not the most stable way to grow your business. Increasing the lifetime value of your customers will protect you in the long term and help give you stable growth, especially in volatile markets.
Attention is the most valuable currency for a marketer. Getting attention is hard, but keeping it is harder. We’ll share how you can start playing the retention long game from day one with your customers in this episode.
Let’s get started!
