Customer Retention Strategy
Build a product line or Build an experience
Building a Product Line:
Requires Unique Selling Proposition at the product level Requires high volume of product reviews You need a large network of distributers Profit growth is typically slower than building an experience As profit grows, pricing enforcement becomes a bigger challenge
CUSTOMER RETENTION STRATEGY
Building an Experience
Requires Unique Selling Proposition as a Seller Requires high volume of seller reviews Doesn’t work with commodity products (your customers won’t
care) Requires up-front capital and frequent innovation Experience must be consistent across the entire conversion funnel
