The Big Leap: Bringing retention best practices across SEA

CleverTap

It’s been proven again and again: customer retention, not acquisition, is what drives growth. Moreover, it can be up to 25 times more expensive to acquire a new customer than it is to keep an old one. Customer retention is so important that it is the single growth metric that moves all three crucial touchpoints of acquisition, monetisation, and virality.

Given all these variables, it is necessary to integrate optimised customer growth and retention strategies on mobile touchpoints to be able to double down on retention and win in the markets in which our businesses operate.

In line with this goal, e27 and CleverTap — trusted by 10,000+ mobile brands and a pioneer in helping brands engage and retain their users — have joined forces to bring you ‘The Big Leap,’ a roadshow celebrating excellence in customer engagement, conversion, and retention. More than a learning opportunity for participants, the Big Leap will connect over 100 growth leaders in Southeast Asia to create a platform for sharing insights on how to create engaging experiences to grow customer retention, increase customer lifetime value, and ignite massive scalable growth with customers at the forefront.

Over the next six months, The Big Leap will provide exclusive interviews, content, roadshows, networking events, and informal meetups with Southeast Asia’s leading tech leaders in multiple countries: Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia, Vietnam, and the Philippines.

“As the world opens up, we are excited to be working on face to face roadshow events with partners like CleverTap,” said Mohan Belani, CEO and co-founder of e27. “The learnings and networking from a physical event are far more effective and intimate as compared to virtual events, and we are excited to meet industry partners and the tech ecosystem in physical environments.”

With CleverTap on board, participants not only will acquire new insights on customer retention practices, but they are also granted an opportunity to network, connect, and engage with the world’s leading provider of customer engagement and retention solutions.
