The Value of Keeping the Right Customers

Depending on which study you believe, and what industry you’re in, acquiring a new customer is anywhere from five to 25 times more expensive than retaining an existing one. It makes sense: you don’t have to spend time and resources going out and finding a new client — you just have to keep the one you have happy. If you’re not convinced that retaining customers is so valuable, consider research done by Frederick Reichheld of Bain & Company (the inventor of the net promoter score) that shows increasing customer retention rates by 5% increases profits by 25% to 95%.

“Customer churn rate is a metric that measures the percentage of customers who end their relationship with a company in a particular period,” says Avery. Typically the churn rate is measured by month, quarter, or year, depending on the industry and the product you’re selling. An annual rate is the default for most companies but any company that prices product on a monthly basis — think mobile phone service providers, gyms, and software as a service companies — looks at customer churn rate by month. Some other firms — those who have a faster churn rate or for whom losing customers is a big issue ­— will also look at it monthly.

This is for people who want to message me directly. I find it very useful when people message to point out errors (even typos - no mistake is too small to correct). Often I find your questions very interesting, too. I can't promise to reply to them all, but I will try to reply to as many as I can, either in the comments below the line; privately (if you leave an email address and that seems more appropriate); or in the main blog, if I think it is a topic of wide interest.

Seahawks beat Giants on MNF, defense steals the show
Eye-popping NFL Next Gen stat: Seahawks tight end Fant\'s 19.8 expected yards after catch. That was what Fant was expected to get after being 15.34 yards from the nearest defender on his 51-yard catch late in the second quarter. But Fant got so much more, thanks to missed tackles along the sideline by inside linebacker Bobby Okereke and cornerback Adoree\' Jackson. Fant racked up 46 yards after the catch on the play, and eventually was ruled down at the 1-yard line. Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker III scored on the very next play. The Giants\' poor tackling came back to bite them again. -- Jordan Raanan
