Question

How much cheaper is retention compared to acquisition?

Answer

Keeping a customer is dramatically cheaper than winning a new one. Retention vs. acquisition studies put the cost of acquiring a new customer at 5 to 25 times the cost of keeping an existing one.

  • The gap: new-customer acquisition can cost 5x to 25x more than retention.
  • High ROI: that spread makes retention one of the best returns available to any business.
  • How to invest it: loyalty programs, direct mail, and a better customer experience all pay off.
  • Physical reminders help: a thank-you postcard or reorder mailer keeps you top of mind between purchases.
