Recurring VS Reoccurring Revenue

Summary

• Every good business should have recurring or reoccurring revenue. Recurring revenue means customers pay regularly through memberships or subscriptions. Reoccurring revenue is when customers, like with Coca-Cola, keep buying without a subscription.
• The quality of your product or service is shown by how many customers come back for more. Aim for a high percentage of repeat buyers to ensure product value.
• The goal is to acquire a customer once and have them continue to pay you throughout their lifetime.

How To Take Action

I would suggest implementing a strategy to increase either recurring or reoccurring revenue in your business. Start by analyzing your current offerings. Can you create a membership or subscription model? Think about services or products that your customers would benefit from having regularly, like newsletters, exclusive content, or monthly deliveries.

A good way of doing this is to first focus on the value of your product or service. Are people satisfied enough to return? Gather feedback from your current customers to understand what they love and what could improve. Repeat purchases mean you’re doing something right. Use that insight to enhance the product, maximizing quality and satisfaction.

If you're interested in personal growth or running a small business, creating this sense of loyalty and habit can be crucial. Encourage repeat business by thanking loyal customers with small incentives or personalized messages.

For entrepreneurs, think about acquiring customers and keeping them engaged over the long haul. It’s like planting a tree; nurture it so that over time it grows into something strong. Concentrate on making it easy for customers to come back. Automate and streamline purchasing processes to save them time and offer excellent service so it becomes a no-brainer decision for them to choose your business again and again.

Focus on these simple but impactful strategies to help your business grow sustainably, with happy, returning customers who support you for a lifetime.
