CUSTOMER RETENTION

Customer retention agency for brands with a data problem.

Most retention problems are diagnosed as messaging problems. They almost never are. We start with a data audit that shows exactly where customers become anonymous, then close those gaps and build the programs that keep them.

You'll recognise this

  • Second-order rate is low and the first order barely breaks even.
  • You know your acquisition cost precisely and your retention numbers not at all.
  • Different tools report different customer counts.
  • In-store and online customers are two separate populations in your data.

Start with the diagnostic, not the program

Improving customer retention starts by knowing which cohort leaks and when. We run repeat purchase curves by acquisition channel and first product, plus an identity coverage map showing what share of revenue comes from customers you can actually reach. Brands routinely discover the churn is concentrated in one channel or one entry product — which changes the whole customer retention plan.

Loyalty as a retention mechanism, not a discount

A customer loyalty program earns its place when it captures data you cannot get another way and reinforces the brand at the same time. Points-for-discounts does neither: it pays existing buyers to do what they already would. We design the mechanic around the data the retention programs need, then build it inside your stack.

What we build

  1. 01

    Retention diagnostic

    Cohort analysis, repeat purchase rate by acquisition channel and product, and an identity coverage map showing what share of revenue comes from customers you can actually reach.

  2. 02

    Close the capture gaps

    The specific mechanisms that turn anonymous transactions into identified customers, built into checkout, POS, packaging, support and the venue.

  3. 03

    Programs that hold customers

    Onboarding, replenishment, winback, VIP and referral, prioritised by what the cohort data says is leaking, not by what's fashionable.

  4. 04

    Reporting your team trusts

    One definition of a customer, one definition of repeat, and a dashboard the whole team reads the same way.

Frequently asked

How do agencies improve customer retention?
By fixing identity capture first, then building the programs the cohort data prioritises: onboarding, replenishment, winback, VIP and referral. An agency that only writes campaigns can improve a message; it cannot improve the share of customers you can reach.
How much does a customer retention agency cost?
Engagements start with a fixed-price retention diagnostic, then move to a monthly build-and-run scope sized to the roadmap it produces. We scope after the diagnostic because pricing a retention program before seeing the cohort data is guesswork.
What does a retention diagnostic include?
Cohort repeat purchase curves, retention by acquisition channel and first product, identity coverage across channels, and a prioritised list of the gaps costing you the most revenue.
How long before we see results?
The first engine is typically live within 30 days. Retention compounds, so the meaningful cohort movement shows up over the following two to three months.
Do you replace our in-house team?
No. We build the system and operate it with your team until they can run it. You own everything we build.
