Accelerating eComm Brands with Cross-Channel Retention | Email, SMS & Lifecycle Marketing

Customer Loyalty vs. Customer Retention: Which gives best results in ecom email marketing? Let's break it down using a chocolate store example: 🍫 Customer Retention: - Focus: Encouraging repeat purchases - Tactics: Restock reminders, discounts for returning customers - Metrics: Repeat purchase rate, churn rate, customer lifetime value - Approach: Short-term, tactical moves to keep customers buying 🍫 Customer Loyalty: - Focus: Building emotional connection to your brand - Tactics: Loyalty programs, VIP offers, brand storytelling - Metrics: Customer satisfaction, referral rate, brand sentiment - Approach: Long-term strategy to create brand advocates The truth? Both matter, but loyalty often edges out retention for best results. Here's why: 1. Higher lifetime value - Loyal customers spend more over time 2. Lower acquisition costs - They refer new customers 3. Brand resilience - Stick with you through tough times 4. Feedback gold mine - Provide valuable insights to improve But don't ignore retention! It's the foundation for building loyalty. The winning formula: 1. Use retention tactics to keep customers coming back 2. Gradually build emotional connection and loyalty 3. Turn satisfied repeat buyers into brand advocates Remember: Retention is about the next sale. Loyalty is about the next 1000 sales. Want to sweeten your ecommerce results? Focus on both, but lean into loyalty for the biggest long-term payoff. What loyalty-building tactics have worked best for your business?
