usually cost less to service than new customers. furthermore, they tend to be less price14, and may provide free word-of-mouth advertising. retaining customers also makes it15for competitors to enter a market or increase their share of a market. 1. a. in particularb. in realityc. at leastd. first of all2. a. emphasizeb. doubtc. overlookd. believe3. a. denyingb. ensuringc. arguingd. proving4. a.
