Retention Reimagined: Driving Loyalty with AI-Powered Renewal Reminders
Picture this: A loyal customer of many years misses a
critical renewal date. Without timely engagement, they may explore
alternatives, costing your business both revenue and trust.
Now imagine if your business could anticipate such moments
and deliver personalized reminders that not only secure renewals but also
deepen customer loyalty.
Welcome to the future of retention with Pega Customer
Decision Hub (CDH), where AI meets strategic customer engagement.
The Stakes Are High: Why Renewal Strategies Matter
Retention isn’t just a metric—it’s a lifeline for business
growth. Here’s why it matters:
- 65% of
revenue comes from existing customers.
- Acquiring
a new customer costs 5–10 times more than retaining one.
- A 5%
increase in retention can boost profits by 25–95%.
Despite these facts, many businesses struggle to strike the
right balance between renewal nudges and value-driven messaging. This is where
Pega CDH steps in, enabling intelligent, context-aware customer journeys.
