Today Bumped — the tech company on a mission to create an ownership economy — released data from their two-year pilot study indicating that there is still incredible value to activating, engaging, and retaining existing consumers. As more brands incentivize their Marketing teams to acquire new customers, Bumped brings data from a number of industries exemplifying the power of retention and loyalty.
Telecomms (mobile phone carriers), Club Warehouses, and Restaurants are the focus of Bumped’s latest report, but a broad study looked at retention efforts across about 85 brands on the Bumped platform and found that the average revenue increase across all of them was 40%. As more and more companies are incentivizing their Marketing teams to increase customer acquisition, the Bumped team highlights the following retention results:
So if the data is there, why are so many Marketers focusing on consumer acquisition?
“This could be because we lack the mechanisms to create true loyalty. But if data shows that there is a solution that results in 53% top line revenue growth by leveraging your existing client base, or gives you the ability to steal 24% of market-share from a competitor (like we saw in the case of Lowe’s and Home Depot), it’s a true loss to focus only on acquisition,” says David Nelsen, Founder and CEO of Bumped. “The consumer ends up on a merry-go-round of incentives without ever building a true relationship, and the brands miss out.”
