Components of a Customer-Based Strategy
• Customer Acquisition (i.e., getting new customers).
• Customer Retention (ie., keeping current customers satisfied via enhancing brand loyalty or through superior service).
• Customer Expansion, getting customers to either buy more of what they are currently buying (increasing usage) or “cross-selling”other products.
• Customer Deletion, dropping customers that are not profitable (both now and potentially in the future) in such a way as to not generate legal problems or public relationsdisasters.
