The Single-Best New Customer Is — ‘a Referred’ New Customer!!!

You can throw all the money you want at your marketing campaign — spend tens of thousands of dollars on branding, landing pages, funnels, Facebook, sales letters and postcards — but the single-best new customer is — a ‘referred new customer’.

(According to a study conducted by The New York Times, 65 percent of companies’ new business comes from referrals.)

– And a study done in 2011 by The American Marketing Association, involving over 10,000 customers at a well-known German bank, discovered that referred customers spend more on their first visit, stay customers longer, and have an overall 16 percent higher lifetime value than non-referred customers.

One of the best parts about getting a referral is that referred customers spend more than customers gained via cold media.

The question therefore is… how best to go about maximising the number of referrals?

Rely on a satisfied customer telling another person. Rely on a satisfied customer having a great memory about your business details. Rely on a satisfied customer having your business card with them ready to pass on.  Sounds like ‘a big dose of hope’ to me. Lots of uncertainty for sure.
