YOUR EXISTING CUSTOMERS ARE THE MOST PROFITABLE GROWTH CHANNEL YOU HAVE.

We run the channels that keep customers coming back — email and SMS, customer support and loyalty — as one connected system, so every message, reply and reward works from the same view of the customer.

The profit was never in the first sale. It's in the second, the third, and the habit.


Most brands spend the marketing budget winning a customer once and then hand them to three different tools that can't see each other. Email doesn't know what support just resolved. Loyalty doesn't know who's about to churn. The data each channel produces never becomes fuel for the others.
We run email, support and loyalty as one connected programme, joined by a single view of the customer. A refund handled well becomes a win-back flow. A VIP hitting their next tier gets an SMS, not a generic newsletter. Every interaction makes the next one smarter — and that's what compounds into repeat revenue.

THE MATHS OF GROWTH HAS SHIFTED.

Acquisition keeps getting more expensive while the first order keeps losing money. The profit is in the second order, the third, and the habit — which is exactly what retention compounds. The brands that act on that maths now pull away from the ones still buying growth.

01

Acquisition is underwater.

Ad costs keep climbing and the first order often loses money. The average brand now loses around $29 on a new customer's first purchase, while a returning customer spends roughly 67% more than a first-timer. The profit was never in the first sale.

02

Owned channels do the heavy lifting.

Automated email and SMS flows are a small slice of sends but a large slice of revenue — often around a third of all email revenue from a couple of percent of volume. Unlike paid, you own the audience and keep the margin.

03

Support and loyalty are quiet revenue levers.

Most brands run support as a cost centre and bolt loyalty on as an afterthought. Both are retention engines: a fast, on-brand support reply protects the next order, and a loyalty programme turns one purchase into a habit.

EMAIL, SUPPORT AND LOYALTY, RUN AS ONE SYSTEM.

Most agencies run these as three separate engagements on three separate tools. We run them as one programme, joined by a single view of the customer.

EVERYTHING THAT KEEPS A CUSTOMER.

Three connected disciplines, one programme. The tools sit underneath — the system on top is what compounds.

EMAIL & SMS

Klaviyo
  • Flows — welcome, abandonment, post-purchase, win-back, replenishment
  • Campaigns and seasonal calendar
  • Segmentation and predictive audiences
  • Deliverability and list hygiene
  • List growth, forms and consent
  • SMS and push
  • Migrations to Klaviyo

CUSTOMER SUPPORT

Gorgias
  • Helpdesk setup and migration
  • AI agent and automation, trained on your brand voice
  • Macros, workflows and routing
  • Ticket deflection and self-service
  • CSAT and response-time improvement

LOYALTY & REVIEWS

LoyaltyLion • Yotpo • Smile
  • Programme design (LoyaltyLion, Yotpo, Smile)
  • VIP tiers, points and referrals
  • Reviews and UGC
  • Loyalty data wired into Klaviyo flows

ONE TEAM ACROSS ALL 3. NOT 3 TEAMS.

You get one senior strategist who owns the whole retention programme, with the support and loyalty leads working off the same customer data — not three vendors with three roadmaps. The person who reads your support tickets briefs the person who writes your flows, in the same meeting.

Because the three channels share one plan, a shift in any of them — a new loyalty tier, a support trend, a deliverability dip — shows up everywhere it should.

Weekly
WIPs keeps the programme moving.
Fortnightly
Reporting keeps performance visible.
Monthly
Business reviews step back to the commercial picture.
Quarterly
Strategy & forecast refresh resets the targets.
