What is Customer Retention?
Customer Retention is the method to engage existing customers to continue purchasing products and services from you. This is different from a lead generation or customer acquisition as you have converted customers
Customer Retention is a method that measures customer loyalty or an organization’s ability to keep its customers. Besides identifying the loyal customers, it can predict or reflect customer satisfaction, customer engagement, repurchase behavior, and emotional ties to brands. Though customer relationships start with interaction, the metrics of customer retention are related to the initial purchase made by customers and this includes subsequent interactions. Organizations after measuring customer retention can use it for performing data analysis on customer success and customer experiences. For instance, if there is a reduction in customer retention, organizations can identify the main causes and adjust the product offerings.
