Reducing Churn in D2C — Predictive Retention That Actually Works

D2C brands burn 3-7x more on acquisition than retention. The ones that flip that ratio compound. The rest spend the next five years chasing CAC.

Why most win-back campaigns fail

Win-back campaigns triggered on day 90 of inactivity convert at <10%. The customer has already moved on emotionally and behaviourally. The brands that win retention trigger interventions on day 30 of declining behaviour — not on day 90 of full inactivity.

The Fundle retention agent

  • Daily churn risk score for every member (0-100)
  • Behavioural signals: declining visit frequency, shrinking basket, narrowing category breadth
  • Triggered intervention library: WhatsApp message, personalised coupon, premium tier offer
  • Automated A/B testing of interventions per segment
  • Real-time outcome tracking (did the win-back stick at 30 / 60 / 90 days?)
