Strengthen relationships to keep customers coming back
Keeping customers coming back really comes down to building strong relationships. Mail works so well because it feels personal, people trust it, and it cuts through all the digital
"Reviving a relationship is something that mail can be extraordinarily potent at"
Rory Sutherland Ogilvy UK Vice Chairman
Why focus on keeping your customers loyal?
Loyal customers trust the brand, spread the word to others, and are less likely to be swayed by competitors' marketing.
Customers who stay loyal tend to make repeat purchases and are more likely to try new products or services, which creates a steady stream of revenue and increases profitability.
Happy, loyal customers become advocates for your brand, sharing their good experiences and boosting trust with new potential customers. Word of mouth is one of the best ways to grow your business.
Customers who've been loyal can be more open to cross-selling and upselling. With trust and a positive relationship place, it's easier to introduce new products, boosting sales and meeting their evolving needs.
High churn usually means customers aren’t happy, which can hurt growth. Focusing on retention helps fix issues and keeps customers from switching to competitors.

71% of people completely trust the mail they receive. In fact, it's the most trusted channel of 18-34 year olds.
Personalise, at scale
Use customer data to create targeted campaigns for specific groups based on demographics, behaviours, or preferences.
Show an audience your brand values them
People are aware that it takes more time and money to send direct mail, unlike email alone. The more effort a brand puts into their message the more trustworthy it seems.
Win-back lapsed customers
Noticed some of your customers are about to leave? Or they've left already? Mail is the perfect channel to re-engage them due to its tactile nature and limited competiton.
Upsell and cross-sell
Customers trust your brand more after their first purchase, so they’re more likely to pay attention to new offers.
Retarget customers
The average cost of abandoned carts on UK business is £304,000. Programmatic mail, retargeting people based on website behaviour or actions can help to recover this cost.
