Passive customers are less valuable than active customers 💎

As mentioned, I covered Target Customers in Episode 1 of Engage And Thrive as a starting point to understand how to create or understand your target customers. This week’s episode delves deeper into understanding active and passive customers. Contrary to mainstream belief and misconceptions, passive customers typically have a lower cost to acquire and represent untapped potential. There is value in pursuing passive customers. 

Understanding the difference between active and passive customers is crucial for creating effective engagement strategies. Active customers are those who are already engaged with your brand, regularly interacting with your content, purchasing your products, or using your services. They are highly valuable because they provide consistent revenue and can be easier to retain through targeted marketing efforts.

On the other hand, passive customers are those who may have shown initial interest or engagement but have not yet fully committed to your brand. These customers often require more effort to convert but can be cost-effective to acquire. They represent a significant growth opportunity, as engaging them can lead to increased market share and brand loyalty.

To effectively engage both active and passive customers, you must develop tailored strategies that align with your business goals.
