Retention Campaign

A retention campaign is a targeted marketing effort designed to keep existing customers engaged and prevent them from leaving. It's typically more cost-effective than acquisition campaigns, since retaining a customer costs 5-25x less than acquiring a new one.

Types of Retention Campaigns

  • Win-Back: Re-engage customers who haven't visited recently
  • Milestone: Celebrate anniversaries, visit counts, or achievements
  • Loyalty Rewards: Offer exclusive perks to long-term customers
  • Check-In: Personal outreach to at-risk customers
  • Renewal: Proactive messaging before memberships or subscriptions expire
