In this episode…Retention marketing is an overlooked component of the sales cycle. While many brands claim to create robust retention models through email and SMS marketing, these strategies are merely channels within the consumer lifecycle. How can you foster lifelong relationships with your customers?
According to passionate retention marketer Jess Chan, an effective retention marketing model has two main aspects. These include various channels like email and SMS and the lifecycle journey, where brands retain customers by building subscription programs and generating repeat purchases. Rather than measuring ROI during the retention phase, you should analyze repeat purchase rates by assessing engagement and purchase percentages at various stages of the customer journey. This allows you to identify high-performing loyalty and retention strategies.
