PORTANT!!!
METRICS-DRIVEN BRANDS
BRANDING: Profitability imperatives All customers are not created equal Customers define brands based on their experience,
emotion & functionality Companies can no longer “position” brands
Brands are only tools to build customer equity Magnet to attract new customers Anchor to hold existing customers
Goal is profitability, not sales or market share Measurement is critical
Establishes accountability
RETENTION BRANDING
Retention pays! Satisfied customers tell 3-5 others about a pleasant
experience It can cost up to 10 times more to generate revenue
from a new customer than from an existing one A 5% retention rate increase can increase profits by 60-
100% Loyal customers who refer others generate business at
a very low or no cost
RETENTION BRANDINGUnhappiness costs! Dissatisfied customers tell 7-13 others Unhappy customers complain for up to 23 years! Negative word-of-mouth: 2X as much impact on
purchase intentions as positive word-of-mouth Make-goods/expediting are expensive Find “replacement” customers
RETENTION BRANDING
80/20 rule 20% of your customers account for 80% of your profits Knowing this is not as important as knowing WHICH
20% (as well as the bottom 15%) Conventional accounting only tells us profit from 100%
of the customers
Branding imperatives Identify & increase profitability of customers Make intelligent customer acquisition/retention
