Ehsan's Insight
Win-back campaigns target churned customers, and most are terrible: a generic "we miss you" email with a 10% discount. Win-back conversion rates average 5-10%, but segmented win-back campaigns hit 15-25%. The segmentation that matters: why they churned. Customers who churned due to price respond to discounts. Customers who churned due to missing features respond to product update announcements. Customers who churned due to poor support respond to a personal outreach from a senior team member. One SaaS company segmented their churned customers into 4 groups by exit survey reason and created tailored win-back sequences. Their win-back rate went from 6% to 22%. The cost of segmentation: one afternoon of data analysis and four email templates.
