Customer Retention
Create automated messages to send on any time interval. Great for prompting reorders and reconnecting with your customers.
Why you should use it
Target customers who have bought consumables or products that have a limited shelf life. Fill up your sales funnel by creating messaging rules that reach customers at the perfect time.
Drive repeat business
Trigger emails that encourage customers to come back to your store and buy again. Customer retention workflows are perfect for subscription-based businesses or merchants who sell consumables. Create rules for any interval. We’ll then schedule the message to send in the future based upon the criteria you’ve set.
Create automated win-back emails – 30, 60, 90 days, etc.
If a customer purchases again, your workflow automatically restarts
Re-engage your best customers with incentives
