Leveraging Retention to Optimize Customer Acquisition
It is 5x more cost-effective to retain an existing customer than to acquire a new one, yet only 16% of companies place their primary focus on retention. Join Adam Schwartz, COO/Co-Founder of BustedTees and TeePublic, and Cassie Lancellotti-Young, Sailthru’s VP of Analytics and Optimization, as they explore frameworks for calculating the true long-term costs of customer acquisition and how those vary by channel, delineating between short-term optimization and long-term business value as well as tools for determining the appropriate trade-offs between quantity and quality in the marketing funnel so as to both drive incremental business revenue and protect long-term customer value.
