🤔 What Is Client Loyalty?
Simply put, client loyalty is the trust and relationship built between a business and its clients, everyone knows that but it's something often ignored... Investing in creating loyal clients can create a powerful core to any business model.
🕊 How to Use Client Loyalty to Drive Success
Client loyalty should be looked upon as if it's an individual marketing channel, something that the Saint Global Team are developing within construction businesses across the UK time and time again to win recurring work and drive a range of benefits. (further discussed below)
Acquiring a new client can actually cost five times as much compared to simply retaining an existing client.
The success rate of selling to a brand new client is 5-20% while selling to existing clients skyrockets to 60-70%. Increasing client retention by as little as 5% can increase profits anywhere from 25-95%!
And if that's not enough, here are some additional points of why developing Client Loyalty is so incredibly important:
- Increase revenue.
- Decrease marketing costs.
- Strong client-business relationships.
- Repeat clientele
- Generate further brand awareness.
- Create brand advocates and referrals (word of mouth).
- Local Awareness
- CSR Benefits.
- Positive Cashflow Savings
So it's worth the thought!
📈 But My Clients Are Only One-Off?
Building a dedicated base of loyal clients should be a focal point of any business, even if you offer one-off services, it is still possible to introduce a powerful client loyalty plan catered to your needs.
In addition, it is possible to implement new divisions in the business model that become a recurring payment every month such as maintenance and care plans. (Speak to our Business Development Team to learn more)
