What is customer retention?

Customer retention describes strategies and measures for the long-term retention of existing customers. The aim is to encourage repeat purchases, interactions and loyalty – through service quality, personalised offers or after-sales communication. High retention reduces acquisition costs, increases customer lifetime value and strengthens the brand sustainably.
