Specialised email and SMS systems that compound repeat purchase and LTV — built from your customer data.
5 minutes with the founder Jack Shaw — how Retention Engineering works.
Trusted by 75+ brands


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.
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.
