How Much Is A Customer Worth?

It typically cost more to attract a customer than it is to keep them.

How do you put a dollar figure on a potential customer? That's a challenge but you could easily put a dollar figure on marketing efforts to appeal to potential customers. Marketing decision are often based on research you conduct on your customer base, the population you are gearing your efforts to. Asking important questions such as "What are people looking for?" and "What do people want?"

A smart move that more companies are making is concentrating their efforts on direct mail. Of course there is no guarantee that your investment will come back more than you put in. However, that is where researching your customer base becomes important. Researching the economic status, gender, age, and cultural of the market you are interested in will help you figure out where to focus your direct mail budget.

Direct mail marketing tools are a great way to ensure you are appealing to your customer base.
