With most small businesses narrowly focused on attracting new customers into their business, one marketing consulting company reveals how you can find an immediate windfall of cash just by looking at your existing database of customers.

"People are often surprised to realize that the real reason why most of your customers stop doing business with you has almost nothing to do with you," says Managed Marketing's founder, Charles Gaudet. "In fact, our research indicates that most people stop doing business with you because life simply got in the way and they simply got distracted, forgot you exist or haven't made you a priority - seldom is it a result of a negative experience."

The term 'attrition' is commonly used any time a company has a reduction in the number of active customers or clients.

"Reducing your customer attrition begins with reaching out to your customer, either by mail, phone or email, and acknowledging the simple fact that you haven't seen them in a while," states Gaudet. "Then, through expressing your concern, you invite your customer back into your business."

Managed Marketing estimates that using this strategy can reduce customer attrition anywhere from 10%-50% depending on the nature of the business. Any reduction of attrition results in immediate growth by an equal measure.

Gaudet continues, "To make this strategy even more effective, when you invite your customer back into your business, provide them with a special, limited-time discount or offer just to let them know that they were missed," Gaudet says, "Just the simple fact of recognizing, acknowledging and welcoming back your customer makes them feel valued and appreciated in ways that could add thousands, even millions, of dollars to your bottom line."
