Episode 220 - Retention Marketing: Your Key to Strength and Profitability

eCommerce Evolution

Retention marketing is crucial for any business.

When the economy is thriving, you need retention marketing to cut through the clutter and help you stand out.

When times are tough, as they may be in the near future, retention marketing is essential. During a recession, it’s critical to get the most out of your marketing efforts.

The most effective way to accomplish this is to maximize your Lifetime Value (LTV) through retention and loyalty marketing.

That’s why, at OMG, we launched email and SMS marketing as a service last year. (email [email protected] to find out more).

In this episode, I had the pleasure of hosting Daniel Budai, a retention marketing expert and the founder of Budai Media.

Here’s a look at what we cover:

• The mindset shift needed to impact how you approach retention marketing and loyalty.
• Why you are likely not emailing your list enough and how emailing LESS has the opposite effect.
• How to maximize your results by combining SMS and email marketing.
• How to create a user-friendly loyalty program that incentivizes desired actions, such as referrals.
• How to use postcards as part of your retention and loyalty efforts.
