What Magazine Publishers Can Teach You

August 8th, 2009

Making a sale is a happy event. But magazine publisher have known for decades the true celebrating begins when you get the second order from your customer.

Here’s why:

Magazine publishers have known for decades that their renewal rate goes up dramatically after the first renewal. 65 out of 100 new subscribers will re-subscribe. And after that, 85 percent of subscribers will renew. Those numbers are similar for any business that has a customer, client or patient.

Magazine publishers also know regular and frequent communication will increase first time renewals to around 80 percent and other renewals to over 90 percent.

Imagine what this kind of client retention would do for YOUR business!

So enjoy that new sale of your product or service.  But the true reason to feast and make merry is not until your customer purchases for the second time. Only then do you have the beginning of a buying habit (i.e. clients for life).

That, my friend, is called customer retention.

And nothing works as effectively at generating more repeat business as a monthly customer newsletter.

So, start regular communication with your customer or patient… and get that second sale. It will not only be easier than the first, it will also be more profitable because you have the beginnings of a relationship.
