Should your business focus on acquiring new clients or maximizing the value from their existing ones? Oops.. does that question remind you of the critical challenge your business is facing?

Well, the challenge is definitely piling up a huge pressure on delivering your business results.

Acquiring new clients is definitely a promising path for your company’s long-term growth. Yet, it is significantly more costly than extracting more value from current customers, which directly boosts profitability.

McKinsey found that personalization marketing offers substantial benefits for companies, including reducing customer acquisition costs by up to 50%, boosting revenues by 5 to 15%, and increasing marketing ROI by 10 to 30%.

Now that points towards the crucial need for adopting smart, personalized strategies in today’s competitive market. But how can you implement such personalized marketing tactics to your clients/ customers?

The answer lies in this blog.
