Retention is the New Acquisition: Marketing Wisdom with Dana Farber
This episode of Passionately Curious features Dana Farber, CEO and founder of Moonstone Marketing. With extensive experience as a CMO and brand strategist, Dana shares her marketing philosophy centered on holistic, mindful approaches. She discusses her journey from editorial writing to PR to franchising, emphasizing the importance of marketing calendars for strategic planning rather than reactionary holiday-based posting. Dana advocates for "retention as the new acquisition," urging businesses to deeply understand their first members before scaling. She explains her "New Moon, Half Moon, Full Moon" service model and highlights the psychology of consumer behavior in today's uncertain economy, noting it now takes 35-40 brand touchpoints to make a sale versus 7-10 in previous decades. The episode concludes with Dana encouraging businesses to nurture leads thoughtfully through emotional connections rather than discounts, and an Upswell marketing tip about using email lists to create Facebook lookalike audiences.
