Marketing Smarter: Start With Past Buyers

Seminole County, FL – September 11, 2025 -  Reaching new customers can be costly and time-consuming — but your previous customers already know, like, and trust you.
 
That means they’re far more likely to buy again, and to spend more when they do.
 
Studies show it costs 5–7 times more to acquire a new customer than to keep an existing one.
 
Plus, repeat buyers often become your best advocates, referring friends and family at no cost to you.
 
Here's a real-life example from Ken Countess. He said:  “I live in an area where driveways and sidewalks need to be pressure-cleaned at least twice a year due to algae formation and tree leaves staining our driveway.”
 
Ken continued:  “I've hired at least 4 different companies over the years to do the cleaning (once I got tired of doing it myself).  None of these companies ever remarket their services to me, so I often go with a company I've seen recently at a Chamber meeting.  That's the one that's top of mind.  Or I go with a new one.  All it would take is a periodic email from one of these companies that I've used in the past to win my business again.  Instead, they have to spend more and more money on their marketing to continually find new customers.  That's profit money gone to waste.  It would be far more profitable for them to market to their existing customers!”
 
So what's the punchline?
 
By nurturing your past customers with consistent communication, exclusive offers, and helpful insights, you’ll build loyalty that drives long-term growth.
 
Smart marketing isn’t about always finding new people — it’s about deepening relationships with the ones who already chose you.
 
Email marketing is easy way to deepen those relationships and stay top of mind.  Try it.
