Retention
The second sale is cheaper than the first.
Most growth problems are quietly leak problems. Retention work turns one-time buyers into repeat revenue — without raising acquisition spend.
Sounds familiar?
Customers buy once and vanish.
We have a database we never use.
Growth stops the moment ads stop.
Nobody follows up after delivery.
What's usually actually wrong
No lifecycle after purchase
The relationship ends at the invoice, so does the revenue.
Data sitting idle
Past buyers are your warmest audience and your least-used one.
No reason to return
Nothing prompts the next purchase at the moment it makes sense.
How we work on it
Cohort read
Who repeats, who doesn't, and where the drop-off starts.
Lifecycle design
The moments worth a message, mapped to real buying rhythm.
Automation build
CRM, email and remarketing doing the remembering for you.
Value expansion
Upsell, cross-sell and referral built into the experience.
Tools we may reach for
Which of these we use depends entirely on the diagnosis. The tools are never the plan.
What should move
- Repeat purchase rate
- Customer lifetime value
- Churn
- Referral volume
