, Difficulty of attracting new customers
The difficulty to attract new customers is that you have to convince them to choose for
your business and buy your products. Trust is a big factor of attracting new customers,
the potential customers have to trust your company if they want to visit your store to buy
products. It is a lot easier to keep the already existing customers than to attract new
ones. To attract these new customers businesses can do an acquisition process. This
process is meant to attract potential clients, if the process is executed well enough you
will see that people are convinced enough and trust your business to buy products. This
acquisition process can be performed in different ways or multiple ways; one is to attend
a trade fair where potential clients can visit your stent and ask for information, another
way is to advertise on the TV, on the radio or pass out flyers on the streets.

so this does not cost any money. The bad thing of losing a customer means they have
to attract new ones and have to make the advertisements, commercials and the emails.
Lifetime value of customers
A company has to estimate how long the lifetime of a customer should be for them to
actually make some profit. For small businesses it can be crucial if the customers do not
keep buying their products. This has everything to do with the question; how do we as a
business make sure the customers will keep coming back to our stores and buy our
products. Businesses can do promotions such as a 10 percent discount at the second
purchase or that you can save certain points at every purchase and eventually get a
discount on your purchase once you have saved a certain amount of points. This is how
businesses can increase the lifetime of customer at their company. The businesses also
