From the Back Cover
A one-percent increase in customer share is equal to a five-percent increase in market share.
Hitting the market share wall
Increasing market share can be a very expensive proposition. Instead, leading-edge marketers are turning to customer share growth as a powerful, effective, and inexpensive way to increase sales as well as profits.
Unlock the power of customer loyalty
Your best customers may be exceedingly loyal, but loyalty alone won't make them better customers. One-to-one, permission-granted marketing can help you cross that bridge.
Retain customers and grow customer share
Properly deployed, a customer share marketing strategy creates a mutually rewarding relationship between you and your customers. Discover the best ways to deepen your relationship with customers you've already invested to acquire.
Marketing in the next economy
With market share reservoirs largely drained, a customer share marketing focus is the next logical step in the evolution of marketing. Through real-world examples, apply the experiences of the world's great marketers to your company, large or small.
More sales, greater loyalty from your best customers!
Over the last half-century, the leading marketers, advertisers, and business schools in the United States and around the world have focused on the art of growing market share as the primary means of growth for a business. Today, attempts to expand market share are often prohibitively expensive and only marginally effective at best. Author Tom Osenton, the world's leading authority on customer share marketing, offers a compelling alternative for today's marketers who are compelled to generate growth.
