THE PROBLEM

You're not struggling. You're under-optimised.

At $1M+/month, your retention problem doesn’t look like a problem. Email runs. Campaigns go out. Revenue comes in. But somewhere underneath, the numbers tell a different story.

Repeat purchase rate is flat. LTV isn’t moving. Cross-sell is reactive instead of designed. Every customer is being spoken to the same way — one campaign, one welcome flow, one strategy broadcast to the entire list.

That works at $200k/month. At your scale, it’s leaking serious money. Every customer not retained is a customer being re-acquired.

This is not a revenue problem. It’s a retention architecture problem. And no amount of email volume fixes it.

THE FIX

We don't just send emails. We engineer retention 
with data.

Retention Engineering starts at the data layer. We map which customers buy Product B after Product A. We learn who converts to a second order in 30 days versus 90 — and why. We identify which segments will reorder, which will lapse, which become VIPs, which need reactivating — and we build the entire system around that intelligence.

Every customer segment gets a distinct strategic approach 
every month.

01

A customer who places a second order within 30 days is significantly more likely to become a long-term repeat buyer. Compress that window and you compound LTV.

02

Customers brought back through behaviour-triggered reactivation flows spend meaningfully more over the following 12 months than those reactivated through generic campaigns.

03

LTV moves on small structural changes — a few percentage points of repeat purchase rate at $1M+/month is seven figures of additional revenue per year.
