Build a Win-Back Campaign
A modest incentive to lapsed customers often costs less than acquiring new ones.
Win-back costs less than new customer acquisition. Target your at-risk segment with a modest incentive, follow up once, then stop; two attempts is enough.
Why It Matters
Winning back a past customer is usually cheaper than finding a new one.
What to Do
- Filter for no purchase in 90 days (custom segment).
- Send a “we miss you” email or text with a modest incentive.
- Follow up once if no response; stop after two attempts.
