CLEVELAND - Sept. 5, 2020 - OR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: September 4, 2020

(Cleveland, Ohio) ColemanWick (https://www.colemanwick.com/), a customer analytics firm, has released findings from a recent study that explored how marketers are prioritizing their time given the current business environment caused by COVID-19. In this study conducted in August 2020, ColemanWick surveyed 258 executives who worked at small and mid-sized companies in the U.S. and who had budgetary oversight over their marketing budget.

The respondents were surveyed about whether they were currently prioritizing winning new customers, retaining customers or trying to win back lost customers. The findings of this study can help marketers understand if they should be prioritizing customer acquisition or customer retention, as well as what steps they need to take to successfully achieve both.

"Many senior-level executives are uncertain if they should be primarily focused on customer acquisition, customer retention or winning back customers who have defected since the pandemic hit," explained Odell Coleman, Jr., Principal of ColemanWick. "That was the focus of our study, and the findings were very valuable. They revealed that companies which are customer-centric, regardless of whether they are focused on acquisition, retention or re-attracting lost customers, have the necessary tools and data to successfully acquire or retain customers."

Businesses who could successfully achieve both customer acquisition and customer retention simultaneously had a few features in common. The majority utilized a voice of customer (VOC) program (78% of respondents), tracked Net Promoter Score (68% of respondents) and developed customer personas (64% of respondents). The full ColemanWick report explains these features in detail and highlights how other executives and marketers can create a customer-centric business themselves.
