RETENTION

Retention marketing agency that builds the engine.

Retention isn't a channel, it's an infrastructure problem. If you don't capture the data that identifies a customer across every touchpoint, no amount of email will hold them. We build the capture layer first, then the programs that use it.

You'll recognise this

  • Repeat purchase rate is flat and nobody can explain why.
  • Half your revenue comes from customers you can't identify across channels.
  • Discounting is the only retention lever you have left.
  • Your loyalty program exists but nobody uses it and it captures no useful data.

Retention marketing is an infrastructure problem

Customer retention marketing fails for the same reason in almost every brand we audit: a large share of revenue comes from people the business cannot identify. Retention marketing services that start at the message never fix that. We start at capture — checkout, POS, packaging, support, venue — and only then build the programs. Once identity coverage rises, every downstream lever (loyalty, lifecycle, winback) gets more effective without spending more on acquisition.

What we measure instead of open rates

Cohort repeat purchase rate, time between orders, revenue per identified customer and the share of revenue from known customers. Those four numbers tell you whether a customer retention strategy is working. Open rates and click rates tell you whether an inbox rendered an image. A retention agency that reports the second set is optimising a proxy.

What we build

  1. 01

    Data audit & capture strategy

    We map every touchpoint where a customer identity could be captured — store, site, POS, support, packaging — and score what's missing. The output is a prioritised roadmap, not a slide deck.

  2. 02

    Capture buildout

    Forms, gates, quizzes, QR mechanics, POS capture and identity resolution wired into the warehouse and the activation tools. Zero-party data you can actually query.

  3. 03

    Loyalty & membership mechanics

    Loyalty makes sense when it's a capture mechanism and a brand asset at the same time. We design the mechanic around the data you need, then build it.

  4. 04

    Lifecycle & growth operations

    Onboarding, replenishment, winback and VIP programs across email, SMS and WhatsApp, run as a continuous test loop measured against cohort revenue.

Frequently asked

What is retention marketing?
Retention marketing is everything that increases how much an existing customer buys over their lifetime: identity capture, loyalty mechanics, lifecycle messaging and the product-side levers behind them. It's measured in cohort repeat rate and revenue per identified customer, not in campaign performance.
How do you choose a retention marketing agency?
Check whether they can change your data, not just your messages; whether they report on cohorts; and whether the engagement is continuous rather than a fixed sprint ending in a handover deck. Ask to see the metrics they'd hold themselves to in month three.
What's the difference between retention marketing and lifecycle marketing?
Lifecycle marketing is the messaging layer: the flows and campaigns triggered by customer behaviour. Retention marketing is the broader outcome, and it includes the data capture, loyalty mechanics and product-side levers that make those messages possible.
Do we need a loyalty program?
Only if it earns its place. A loyalty program is worth building when it captures data you can't get any other way and reinforces the brand. Points-for-discounts programs usually do neither.
How do you measure retention work?
Cohort repeat purchase rate, time between orders, revenue per identified customer and share of revenue from known customers. Not open rates.
Do you work with retail and hospitality, or only DTC?
All three. The capture mechanics differ — POS and reservations instead of checkout — but the system is the same.
