Customers are always right and any business is based on the needs of customers. So it's very important to do what customer need, not we prefer because overall customers will choose what they need anyway. Also, don't ever think that the customer is very clever. You have to treat him as a baby especially in any topics about technology because not all of us know. Remember, no customers means no work.

Once someone has bought from you once, they are more likely to buy from you again.

In other words, it's easier to sell to an existing customer than someone who has never done business from you.

The real purpose of business is to attract and retain a customer in a cost-effective manner.
A business successfully managing to do both will be the one able to survive in this competitive market. The major cause of any business failure is its lack of sales which is due to it's inability to attract and retain customers.

Industrial studies reveal :
1. A 5% increase in customer retention can translate to a 125% increase in profits.

2. The cost of acquiring a new customer is five times more than retaining an existing one .

3. A 2% increase in customer retention and cutting costs by 10% effect the profits in the same way.

4. In a direct retail business business,on an average , a regular and loyal customer is believed to spend three times more than an irregular customer.

Moreover, to give your business a competitive advantage ,you need to attract and retain customers. Your business is what your customers think of you , what they tell other people in your absence. And for customers, 'the older the better' is what fits in. The more loyal they are to you, the more highly they'll talk about you, which in turn will increase your credibility.
