Customer retention

Customer retention is how many customers come back: repeat bookings, renewals and long-term contracts.

Why it matters

Keeping a customer often costs less than winning a new one, and loyal customers bring referrals.

In practice

  • Make the next booking easy at the end of each visit.
  • Remind before renewals, not after.
  • Ask why people leave and fix the top reason.
