Client Overview
A leading fashion retailer with a strong omnichannel presence, serving millions of customers globally. Despite a successful loyalty program and consistent acquisition campaigns, the brand struggled to retain customers beyond their first few purchases, resulting in rising churn and declining customer lifetime value.
Problem Statement
The fashion retailer was experiencing high churn, with nearly 40% of new customers leaving within 90 days. Despite strong acquisition efforts, lack of churn visibility and broad, untargeted campaigns led to rising costs and declining customer lifetime value.

churned within the first 90 days.

Marketing teams lacked visibility
into which customers were most at risk and when to intervene.

leading to high marketing costs with low ROI.

Seasonal buyers disengaged after peak sales periods,
creating volatile revenue patterns.
