Retention

What is an Inactive Customer? ⭐

An inactive customer is one who did not return to purchase within the repurchase limit period set by the eCommerce.

There are several types of customers who have stopped buying from our eCommerce site

Some of them may have purchased once 6 months ago, another may have purchased for several months but has not purchased for 1 month. In both cases, if the re-purchase time period set was 30 days, both are considered inactive customers.

There are inactive customers who have a high LTV.

There are strategies that we can implement to REACTIVATE those customers that we know have a high probability of buying again.

  • Create audiences with different characteristics shared by your inactive customers
  • Select one or more media where you consider your customers are located.
  • Develop offers, discounts, coupons or other attractive strategies
  • Generate attention-grabbing content
  • Analyze results

Story mode:

Paula shopped once a week at TaTa supermarket.

For a while, Paula stopped shopping, as she tried another store in her area that had attractive discounts. During that period, she became an inactive customer for the supermarket.

TaTa developed a communication strategy via WhatsApp with its inactive customers with a high LTV, in which it sent discount coupons in order to win them back.

Paula used the discount coupon, so she went back to the supermarket.

Paula became an active client for TaTa.

TaTa must now take action to retain Paula as a customer.
