Auto Dealership Customer Acquisition Drivers

Knowing your customer acquisition drivers (why they chose you and not your competition) gives you strategic insight when designing and deploying marketing communication content and what you see in the image are researched customer acquisition drivers for a the Auto Dealership industry in Nigeria by Neetch Company . Customer acquisition drivers impact customer retention because after conversion, if the experience your customers have post buying, using or sharing your product or service does not align with the expectations leading to conversion (reasons for choosing you), it is highly likely that your customers will churn.
