Formula

When marketing team aims to measure the rate at which the organization loses the customers over time, the Customer Attrition becomes a helpful metric. 

No matter how effective the marketing campaigns, the products, or the services are, there is no guarantee that customers will remain loyal to the brand throughout the lifetime of the business. In the future, there is a big chance that customers will drop off, so it is necessary for the marketing team to track the rate at which the customers are doing so.
