Marketing Productivity Series: Customer Marketing

Reducing costs is one way to get ROI from a Marketing and / or Service system; it’s also probably the simplest way.  But the more profitable, highest ROI way to get payout on these systems is to increase the value of customers by keeping them as active, engaged customers for a longer time.  Longer time?
