Repeat order rate optimization, automated WhatsApp commerce, and subscription flows that maximize customer LTV.

Overview

Why this matters

Acquiring a customer once is an expense; retaining them across a compounding lifetime value is where Indian consumer brands achieve true enterprise value. We build automated WhatsApp, SMS, and email lifecycle flows that drive repeat purchase velocity.

Audience

Who this service is for

  • Consumable brands (food, skincare, supplements) with repeat purchase rates below 25%.
  • Brands struggling to communicate with Indian customers due to declining email open rates.
  • Merchants dealing with high COD Return-to-Origin rates on initial orders.
Challenges

Problems we eliminate

Low email engagement (open rates below 15%) among Indian consumer demographics.
High COD RTO losses from unverified impulse buyers.
Inability to trigger automated re-order reminders based on real consumption cycles.
Customer churn following first-time discount promotions.
