This podcasts discusses the argument that fostering highly loyal advocates, or "raving fans," is a strategic financial imperative for consumer goods companies rather than a simple marketing goal.
They emphasise that retaining existing buyers is significantly more profitable than acquiring new ones because loyal customers are less price-sensitive and buy more frequently.
