Creating lasting customer relationships is important for business success.
Recurring business generates consistent revenue, lowers acquisition costs, and increases customer lifetime value.
Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC) refers to how much it costs to acquire a new customer; Lifetime Value (LTV) measures how much revenue a customer generates over their entire relationship with the company.
Recurring revenue models create a steady stream of predictable income with better customer loyalty and retention.

David Chang Music runs recurring monthly classes for cohorts of students, generating sustainable monthly revenue.

Recurring business also helps with long-term planning and investment, as well as word-of-mouth marketing.
Businesses should consider introducing recurring services or products to build deeper connections with their customers and a loyal customer base.
Recurring is king when it comes to customer loyalty and business sustainability.
