THE TRUE VALUE OF CUSTOMER RETENTION

to drive customer loyalty, build repeat business and ultimately profit

It's a great feeling knowing people are visiting your site and shopping. A wonderful feeling. What about when that customer comes back? Again and again? That's when you know you're building something special. There's a connection. Your product and your marketing, in unison, just works.

It's my job to help you not simply win new customers, but to keep those customers loyal, talking about you and ultimately, shopping again.

Customer Retention is the ecommerce growth strategy. Most online retailers pile money and all attention into paid ads to drive acquisition. It makes sense. And then you realise the value of keeping customers beyond just acquiring customers. Most brands miss the immense opportunity that a clear customer retention strategy can bring. Both before and after the first purchase.

I partner directly with ecommerce clients to help review, build and optimise their customer retention strategy and evolve their business model. From the moment a new visitor arrives at your store onwards we will personalise each and every customer touchpoint to build loyalty, learn from your customers and earn the right to motivate your customers to shop again.

We'll dig deep into customer data to help you fully understand your customer lifetime value and build a route to greater profitability for your ecommerce brand.

You'll learn the value of retention-focused conversational copy. Shifting away from the 'rush to sell' to the 'help to buy' mentality. It's a powerful conversion skill.

You'll also learn how to use customer insights to improve your customer acquisition process. To build a better shopping experience and deliver a truly customer-centric model to your marketing strategy.

Make the shift and evolve from a pure focus on acquisition to where the real money is made in ecommerce - customer retention growth.

motivate your customers to stay with you

Customer retention and loyalty should be central to your growth strategy. Most ecommerce brands ignore the opportunity to drive significant profitable growth through their existing customer base.

Inspire your customers to share their experience with your brand and significantly impact the opportunity word-of-mouth marketing will provide your ecommerce brand.

Do what your competition won't. Start building your brand less ordinary through a fresh focus on how you retain your existing customers (without the need to trash your prices). Start making what you make matter.
