The higher your retention rates are, the longer you will retain customers for and the greater the recurring revenues generated from those customers.
Sounds so simple. Why then is there so much muddled thinking in the area of retention marketing, around pricing, segmentation, messaging, timing, customer behaviour and analytics?

Use this guide to replace retention confusion with retention clarity and watch your recurring revenues grow.

For those wanting to research the subject further, footnotes and sources are clearly annotated.
