Expanding currency exchange business

With the ever expanding horizons of the internet era we’re entering a new age in marketing. The age of the customer. The world of smart phones, tablets, re-targeting and tracking pixels means our customers are never that far away from us. The flip-side of that particular coin though is that our customers are never that far away from our competition either. Ads follow us around as we make our way through the world of WWW and customers have more options right there at their fingertips than ever before.

Retention has become the new buzz word, not only in the world of currency exchange online trading, but in pretty much any market which relies on continuity. More than most industries though, your brokerage operations will rely on the life time value of your clients. Trader acquisition is expensive so the life time value of your traders on your platform could make the difference between a run of the mill brokerage or the next world beater.

At the heart of your retention strategy lies your CRM or Customer Relationship Management software.

Forrester defines customer relationship management as the business processes and supporting technologies that support the key activities of targeting, acquiring, retaining, understanding and collaborating with customers. Your CRM will define to a great extent how you interact with your customers, how you approach your potential customers and how you maximise the trader life time value.
