Business Education SeriesAre You Dating Your Customer? The Art of Wooing Your Customer

Ever heard that ole’ saying, ‘It’s cheaper to keep her?” Well, it’s true. It cost five

to your audience, you must be able to see a direct correlation between how the
rules of dating and relationship maintenance apply to understanding your audience.

1) How marketing is core and foundational to a retention strategy.
2) Walk the customer life cycle in order to compare it to the various stages of
developing relationships.
3) Look to have marketing supports relationship development and management.
