Session Details
This session will explore where print and signage businesses should be focusing their sales and marketing efforts: winning new customers or getting more from the customers they already have. With competition for new business remaining fierce, are existing customers the biggest opportunity for growth – or does long-term success depend on continually expanding the customer base?
Industry experts will discuss the benefits and challenges of both approaches, from building stronger customer relationships and increasing repeat business to identifying new markets and attracting fresh opportunities. The session will also consider how businesses can strike the right balance between customer retention and acquisition, and where investment is likely to deliver the greatest return.
