How to Improve Retention

  • - Proactively ask clients to book their next appointment before leaving
  • - Set up a membership program with returning-client perks
  • - Send regular check-in messages and promotions
  • - Record client preferences and deliver personalized service
  • - Use a booking system to auto-send return-visit reminders

What is Retention Rate? Why Does It Matter?

Retention Rate is the percentage of clients who return. For appointment-based services it is a key quality indicator. Acquiring a new client costs 5–7× more than retaining one — improving retention is the key to profitability.

Returning Rate vs. Retention Rate

  • Returning client ratio: Percentage of this month's services that were repeat visits (simple).
  • Client retention rate: Percentage of new clients who return within a period (more precise).

Customer Lifetime Value (LTV)

LTV = Avg. ticket × Annual visits × Avg. relationship years. Example: NT$1,200 × 6 × 3 = NT$21,600.
