Engaging Holiday Marketing Tips for Small Businesses with Michelle Calloway

It is the season of giving, caring, and showing appreciation to those that have a positive impact on one’s life and business.

Small businesses should consider taking advantage of this season to show new customers, existing customers, and even past customers how much they are appreciated and valued. A little extra goes a very long way.

Here are some statistics (from markinblog.com) that demonstrate the value of a small business retaining their existing customers by making them feel connected and valued throughout the year, and especially during the holiday season:

  • The probability of selling to an existing customer is 60-70%, while the probability of selling to a new prospect is only 5% to 20%.
  • It costs up to 7x more to acquire a new customer than to retain an old one.
  • Increasing customer retention by 5% increases profits by 25-95%.
  • 65% of a company’s business comes from existing customers.
  • For most industries, the average customer retention rate is below 20%.
  • Loyal customers spend 67% more than new ones.
  • Only 40% of companies and 30% of agencies have an equal focus on acquisition and retention.
  • 89% see customer experience as a key factor in driving customer loyalty and retention.
  • Existing customers are 50% more likely to try new products and spend 31% more than new customers.
  • 82% of companies agree that customer retention is cheaper than acquisition

Making a warm, and positive impression and increasing sales during the holiday season doesn’t have to break a small business’s marketing budget, but it does require some strategizing.
