Most brands over-invest at the top of the funnel, pouring 90% of budgets into acquisition, even as 70% of new customers never return. Shifting just 10–20% to retention doesn’t just boost profit by 25–95%; it closes the gap between average and top 10% performers and makes every acquisition dollar work harder. Retention-first isn’t an expense, it’s the engine of compounding growth.
What’s your next compounding move?
Game-changing strategy. Retention-powered growth. At Retention-First Growth, we drive bigger thinking, stronger loyalty, and exponential value, beyond the funnel.
What's broken, and why it matters
CAC ↑ 222% since 2013
70% of buyers purchase once
Churn drains $4.8T annually
Churn is a cost centre.
Retention is a profit lever.
It costs 5–7× more to acquire than retain. A 5% lift in retention can increase profit 25–95%. Retention compounds cash flow, LTV, and payback periods.
Funnels fade fast. Don’t chase the leak. Build the flywheel.
