Maximizing Customer Value Over Cost
Acquiring new customers can often be framed as more costly than retaining existing ones, but this perspective may neglect the potential for greater value found in new customers. Marketers should shift their focus from merely minimizing acquisition costs to maximizing the value each customer brings. It’s possible that a more expensive acquisition could lead to customers who are significantly more valuable, thus justifying the increased expense. Achieving a balance between the cost of acquisition and the lifetime value of customers can lead to a healthier customer base overall.
