Why does this churn problem matter?

E-commerce brands lose 60-70% of first-time buyers. Most never attempt to win them back with personalized offers.

How do we solve it?

Create a 3-email win-back sequence triggered 30/60/90 days after last purchase. Use browsing data, cart abandonment, and purchase history to personalize offers.

How do you implement it step by step?

  1. 1

    Segment churned customers by purchase history (1x buyer, repeat buyer, high-value)

  2. 2

    Create email sequence with increasing discounts: 30 days (10% off + product recommendations), 60 days (20% off + free shipping), 90 days (25% off + limited time)

  3. 3

    Personalize with "We miss you" copy and items they viewed or abandoned

  4. 4

    Set up SMS for high-value churned customers

  5. 5

    Track win-back rate and LTV of reactivated customers

Founder of ChurnTools. I spend my time studying how SaaS companies lose customers and building tools to help them stop. I've documented 80+ retention experiments and run the Churn Health Check diagnostic.

Retention Diagnostic

Knowing the number is not the same as knowing the cause

A calculator tells you how much is leaving. It cannot tell you which part is failed payments, which part is people who never activated, and which of the two is cheaper to fix. I work that out on your actual data and send back three fixes ranked by what each one is worth, within 10 working days.

  • Voluntary and involuntary churn, split and costed
  • What the leavers did in their first month
  • Three fixes, ranked by dollars recovered
  • Fixed price, written, no call required
See what it covers $2,500, fixed.
