The allocation between focusing on lead acquisition versus client retention in nurturing programs truly depends on the company's stage and objectives. For startups or businesses with few customers, the emphasis should be on creating bottom-of-funnel (BoFu) content to drive acquisitions. Once this is established, the top-of-funnel (ToFu) content can be designed to add value for existing and potential customers, supporting a more balanced approach between acquisition and retention.

There is no fixed percentage that applies universally. It's essential to assess your specific situation, set clear objectives, and adapt your nurturing program's focus based on your goals and the factors mentioned above. Flexibility and the ability to pivot your strategy as needed are key to achieving a balance between lead acquisition and client retention.
