Retention & lifecycle marketing

Acquisition gets harder every quarter. Retention is the margin you already paid for.

You spent the money to acquire them once. Whether they come back is a system, not luck. We design and run that system — segmentation, lifecycle journeys, win-back and loyalty — and report on what it actually returns.

What we build

The system that brings people back.

Lifecycle strategy

The full map from first purchase to loyal repeat — every stage, the message it needs, and the trigger that fires it.

Segmentation & RFM

Recency, frequency and value tiers that let you speak differently to a first-timer, a regular and someone slipping away.

Post-purchase journeys

The window right after a purchase is the highest-intent moment you'll ever get. Most brands send a receipt and go quiet.

Win-back & reactivation

Lapsed buyers are cheaper to recover than strangers are to acquire — if you reach them, and if the offer respects why they left.

Replenishment & subscription

Consumables and repeat categories: timed reorder prompts based on real consumption cycles, not arbitrary delays.

Retention reporting

Repeat rate, time-to-second-purchase, cohort revenue curves. The numbers that tell you whether retention is genuinely improving.

Where retention quietly fails

Your win-back campaign can't work if it never arrives.

Lapsed-customer sends are the single most likely email to hit spam — you're mailing people who haven't engaged in months, which is exactly the signal providers use to filter. It's why retention work and deliverability work belong in the same team. We sequence reactivation so it rebuilds engagement instead of burning your domain reputation.

Straight answers
How long before retention shows in revenue?

Flow-driven wins appear within weeks. Genuine cohort improvement takes a quarter or more — you're changing behaviour, not flipping a switch. We report both so you can see early signal and real movement.

Do you need our historical data?

Yes, and the more the better. Purchase history is what makes segmentation worth anything. We work with what your platform already stores.

Is this separate from email marketing?

It overlaps but it isn't the same. Email is a channel; retention is the strategy that decides what the channel says and when. Most clients run both together.
