Churn, also known as customer attrition or turnover, measures how many customers a business loses over a given period. A company is doing something wrong if many customers defect to the competition each month. Calculating churn is an excellent preliminary way to determine your customers' loyalty. Still, no number of tables filled with customer attrition rates will tell you why customers are leaving or how you can encourage them to stay. Keeping customer attrition down is a top priority for any business, given that loyal customers are 5x more likely to buy again. Considering how much time, effort, and money goes into gaining customers, businesses need and deserve analytical tools beyond the quantitative what to allow them to identify the underlying issues driving away the clientele. Here are 3 top tips to help you fight churn and keep customer churn at bay.
Key Fact: It costs 5x to 25x more to acquire a new customer than to keep an existing one.

First Impression Is Everything
Key Fact: 48% of consumers surveyed said they left a site to purchase the same product elsewhere because of a poor experience.
Fortunately, Auryc is here to help. The Heatmaps feature provides a visual representation of user interactions on your website. They allow you to determine where visitors are clicking, how far they scroll, and how they interact with your content. This powerful tool helps you polish your customer experience by learning how customers interact with your website, reducing the likelihood of them leaving to competition. When paired with Auryc’s Session Replays, the results are spectacular. Instead of digging through session logs and needlessly watching hundreds of replays, Session Replays allow you to spot instances where a customer has displayed poor customer experience: rage clicks, frequent refreshing, and random scrolling. In addition, its easy-to-understand interface allows you to diagnose and reproduce CX issues that impact loyalty, conversions, and ROI quickly, then fix the issue soon.

Listening to these complaints allows you to create a customer-centric product, but more importantly, you can gather valuable feedback directly from the source.
Key Fact: 32% of customers said they’d stop doing business with a brand after just one negative experience.
