  2. Why it’s important • Retaining existing customers costs five times less than attracting new ones. • Source: Lee Resource Inc.

  3. Cognitive Dissonance • Two (or more) opposing thoughts, e.g. I like smoking but I know it’s bad for me • We are ‘wired’ to reduce this conflict (quit smoking or decide you’re not really at risk)

  4. Cognitive Dissonance • Dissonance occurs when things go wrong after a purchase decision: • Unexpected price hikes at checkout • Poor after-sales service • Poor quality product / service • Perceived indifference

  5. What could happen • The customer’s attitude could change • They could research competitors • They may engage in trivialization – what didn’t matter before becomes a top priority • They are likely to shop around and find a good deal elsewhere

  6. It doesn’t stop there… • The majority of dissatisfied consumers will tell between 9 and 15 people. About 13% tell more than 20 people.Source: White House Office of Consumer Affairs, Washington, DC
