It's important for businesses to measure and understand customer sentiment, that's a given. Although there are many metrics from which to measure business success, customer satisfaction is a big one that cannot be ignored. 

Keeping your loyal customers coming through your doors is the lifeblood of your business. However, no matter what kind of business you manage or own, some of those loyal customers will choose not to return. This is known as customer attrition, or customer churn, and it should be kept under close watch.

It’s common knowledge among business owners and marketers that keeping your current customers coming back through the door is much more efficient and less costly than acquiring new customers. In today’s competitive environment, consumers have more options than they can choose from. This is why restaurateurs and retail store owners should be concerned with not only attracting new customers, but keeping the ones that they already have.

Customer attrition is a natural occurrence in any business. No matter what you do, some customers will simply not return to your place of business. Whether this is a fault of your own or not, it is important to establish and execute an ongoing, measurable strategy to reduce customer attrition.

There's nothing more gratifying for business owners than seeing a first-time visitor come through the door. Yet, how do you know if he or she is truly a first-time customer? Can you really know whether a person who walks into your restaurant has previously visited one of your stores?

Here, we take a look at how WiFi analytics technology can help you better understand your first-time visitors and how to observe and shape their behavior over time with data-driven WiFi marketing.

It’s no secret that your loyal customers are the lifeblood of your business. So when a customer changes their habit of visiting your establishment, do you have a way of knowing?  Can you entice them to come back?

There is an enormous amount of competition in the restaurant industry, and it doesn't take much to shift a customer’s routine. That change in routine can result in a customer who is at-risk of churning shifting into a fully-churned customer. When it comes down to brass tacks, if your customer isn't dining at your establishment, they are dining somewhere else.

Fortunately, there are solutions to help restaurateurs know when a customer is at-risk for churning. With these solutions, you can reconnect with your customer before their loyalty shifts to your competition. Perhaps the best way to understand customer behavior is by utilizing a WiFi marketing and analytics platform.
