Personalized Business Greeting Cards: Best Way to Show Clients You Care

The importance of a client retention program in a business cannot be stressed enough by experts. Show clients you care! As every business owner knows, it is much easier to sell your product or service to an existing client than to a new one. Additionally, a study made by Bain and Co. showed that a 5% gain in customer retention can increase a business’ profit by as much as 75%.

Do not be satisfied when you hear the word, “fine” because 65-85% of satisfied customers actually switch to the competition.
