? News flash: Trying to make a sale from new customers is at least 5x more expensive than trying to make sales from your old customers.
Meanwhile your old customers are many times more valuable and profitable to do business with than your new customers. So says Bain and Co from one of their studies.
Not many business owners know that trying to get new customers is more expensive than keeping the ones you have, even though your old customers are more profitable. You need little or no marketing before your old customers buy from you- they probably ❤ you already.
“So you mean I should not try to get new customers for my business? ”
Absolutely not.
Let’s think about this for a moment.
If I can make $200 from my old customers and my new customers would only care to spend $80, I definitely want to give my old customers some special treatment, since they bring in most of the cash.
The best and least expensive way to get new customers is by word of mouth (WoM), but for that to happen, you have to keep your old, loyal customers happy and consistently deliver a WoW experience to them so they can recommend you to their friends and family members with all of their hearts.
This is why every business, small and big, must cherish their loyal customers, they are the lifeblood of your business and your ultimate competitive advantage is not losing them.
