Reducing churn is the most cost-effective way to drive long-term growth for a subscription business.

Churn is a leak in the customer acquisition funnel, continually working against a merchant’s sales and marketing efforts. Combine that with the fact that 95% of unhappy customers cancel without ever complaining, *it becomes even more* critical to have automated tools in place to address and prevent churn.

We’ve created a way to help you save a subscriber and understand why they may have churned with the new ReCharge Retention Strategies.

How it works

STEP 1

It’s as simple as flipping a switch.

On the ReCharge Settings page, choose between Basic and Retention Strategy cancellation options.

STEP 2

Add your first retention strategy.

Start by creating a reason for cancellation and a related incentive. You can offer a discount to persuade customers not to cancel – or the option to skip the next delivery or delay it by a specific amount of days.

STEP 3

Build out a full list of cancellation reasons.

Once you’ve created a few reasons and related offers, you can view and edit them as needed.

STEP 4

What the customer sees.

Customers are presented with a customized list of cancellation reasons.

STEP 5

Download cancellation reports.

Evaluate all your cancellation data by downloading a report within ReCharge for inactive customers, which will include cancelled subscribers and their reasons for cancellation.
