Dormant Customers

In different enterprises dormant or lapsed customers mean different things. If one of your customers has made purchases in the past but now he hasn’t visited your site for 1 month, he can be termed as lapsed customer. You can offer them a personalized ”welcome-back experience on their return or use re-targeting campaign.

High-valued or Loyal Customers

Like ”dormant’ customers, a high-value customer can be used in different contexts. It can mean any of your customers who have spent twice as much as your average customer in the last year. You can change these customers to your brand ambassadors. Once they are done with their transaction, your thank-page can invite them to share their experience with their friends through social sites or send an invitation to visit your site.
