To leverage warranties to grow your customer retention rates, it’s important to understand the basics of customer retention. Let’s take a look at what customer retention is, why it’s important, and how a warranty program can help you in your customer retention goals.
What Is Customer Retention?
Customer retention is the measure of the number of returning customers who have multiple transactions over some time.
Customer retention strategies focus on ways to build a loyal base of repeat customers. Loyal customers maintain a long-term relationship with your brand that keeps them coming back.
You can calculate your customer retention rate by first determining a set period over which to measure your customers. Then look at the number of customers at the beginning and end of that period and count how many of them are new.
If you calculate your customer retention rate over a year, the equation would look like this:
Total customers by end of the year − new customers within the year
_____________________________________________________
Total # of customers at the start of the year
Retention rates will vary depending on the industry and product type. Try measuring the retention rate over several periods and see whether you have a general trend of an increase or decrease in repeat customers.
