Measure customer loyalty for complete picture of ROI
Article Abstract:
There are several ways to assess a marketing program's success or failure. One way is to use customer loyalty to measure return on investment. In order to do this, marketers should determine what encourages customers to be loyal. Some of the parameters to be used in measuring loyalty include frequency of purchase, recency of purchase and total amount of purchases. However, the most important indicator of loyalty is buyer or account penetration, wherein a satisfied customer is willing to recommend the product or service to other buyers.
