Customer Retention: a Tough Needle to Move?
Friday, February 13th, 2009Kevin Hillstrom has an excellent post today entitled Customer Retention: The Myth where he says improving customer retention might sound like a good idea but is actually quite difficult to do. I agree with his assertion that retention rate, average order value, and orders per buyer are difficult to improve in the short term, but I, perhaps unlike Kevin, I think that there can be real immediate gains to be had by trying.
