Services / Lifecycle & Retention
Lifecycle

Keep buyers coming back.

Email, SMS, and on-site personalization. The cheapest customer is the one you already have — but only if you know what to send, when, and to whom.

What's included

What we build into your retention engine.

Email + SMS strategy

Channel mix, cadence, and compliance. Which messages go where, to whom, at what time.

Lifecycle flows

Welcome, browse/cart/purchase, post-purchase, win-back. Fully mapped, fully measured.

Transactional design

Receipts, shipping, password resets. The emails your customer opens 100% of the time.

Segmentation

RFM, predictive LTV, churn risk. Right message to right cohort — not blast-and-pray.

Loyalty programs

Tiers, points, perks — designed to drive frequency, not just accumulate points nobody redeems.

Win-back campaigns

Target lapsed buyers with incentives that make sense for LTV, not across-the-board discounts.

Sound familiar?

If CAC is climbing and LTV isn't, it's usually retention.

Four patterns we see when acquisition is working but the back end isn't. Fixing these changes the unit economics.

  • 01

    High CAC, no retention

    You pay to acquire a customer once, they never come back. Growth is a treadmill.

  • 02

    One-time buyers only

    Second-purchase rate below 20%. Either the product needs work — or the post-purchase experience does.

  • 03

    Generic blasts

    One newsletter to everybody, every week. Opens are falling, spam complaints are rising.

  • 04

    Low list engagement

    Most of your list hasn't opened an email in 90+ days. Deliverability is about to get worse.

How we build retention engines.

Retention starts with segmentation. We build RFM and behavioural segments inside your ESP — Klaviyo, Customer.io, Braze, Iterable — so every message lands on the right customer at the right moment, instead of the same weekly blast your buyers have learned to ignore. Then we design the flows: welcome, browse-abandon, cart-abandon, post-purchase, replenishment, win-back, and VIP. Each has an owner, a KPI, and a re-test window.

Email and SMS work together, not in parallel lanes. Deliverability is monitored weekly — warm-up, spam complaints, sender reputation, list hygiene — because the best copy in the world can't rescue a domain quietly landing in Promotions. Every quarter we run a flow-by-flow revenue audit and reinvest in the ones paying off the most, retire the ones underperforming, and test the next set of hypotheses.

Who this is for

DTC and subscription brands doing 3,000+ orders/month whose email revenue is under 25% of total — the single biggest untapped lever we see. Also SaaS teams whose onboarding, activation, and upgrade flows haven't been touched since the MVP launched.

What success looks like

Email + SMS revenue as a share of total growing quarter on quarter without more sends. Repeat-purchase rate and LTV trending up together. And a flow library documented so thoroughly your next growth hire can extend it in week one.
