Don’t Give Deals For New Customers!

Every business seems to put an extreme focus on attracting NEW customers. New customer acquisition programs are ‘sexy’; give-aways to get people to leave their current suppliers and join another team are prolifically offered despite the added costs involved in providing the tokens offered as bait.

They get NO new deal. They get NO respect.In this episode, I share the marketing Moves I made to grow customer loyalty by offering special deals to EXISTING customers FIRST, and why offering special deals to attract new customers makes little economic sense.
