Customer Winback
Acquiring a new customer costs 5-7x more than reactivating one who already bought from you. Most brands ignore their lapsed buyers entirely.
You spent money to acquire them. They bought. They liked the product (no return, no complaint). Then they disappeared. Six months later, they are buying from a competitor because nobody reminded them you exist.
This is a solved problem. Winback flows trigger when a customer has not purchased within a defined timeframe — typically 60, 90, or 120 days depending on your purchase cycle. The flow re-engages them with a sequence of emails: a gentle reminder, a product recommendation based on their purchase history, a time-limited offer, and a final "we miss you" with a stronger incentive.
The problem is most winback flows are set up once and never optimized. Generic timing that does not match the actual repurchase cycle. Same offer for a customer who spent $20 and a customer who spent $500. No segmentation by product category, purchase frequency, or engagement level. One-size-fits-none.
We build Klaviyo winback programs that use your actual data. Winback timing calibrated to your purchase cycle. Offers scaled by customer value. Segmentation by product category and engagement. As a Klaviyo Gold Partner, we have reactivated lapsed buyers for 150+ brands.

Klaviyo Partner
Your lapsed customers are buying from someone else. Here is why.
- Winback flow triggers at an arbitrary timeframe — 90 days — regardless of your actual repurchase cycle
- Same winback email for a $500 VIP and a $20 one-time buyer — no value-based segmentation
- Generic "we miss you" copy with no product recommendation based on what they actually bought
- No escalation strategy — one email, one offer, done. No sequence that builds urgency over time
- Cannot tell the difference between a lapsed buyer who is disengaged and one who just has a longer purchase cycle
A good winback program recovers 8-15% of lapsed customers. A bad one annoys people and wastes offers on customers who were coming back anyway.
What we do for Global brands
Purchase cycle calibration
Winback timing based on your actual data — not industry averages. We analyze your repurchase patterns and trigger winback flows at the point where customers are statistically likely to have churned.
Value-based segmentation
Different winback strategies for different customer values. VIPs get personal outreach and premium offers. Low-value one-time buyers get lighter-touch reminders with smaller incentives.
Product-aware recommendations
Winback emails include product recommendations based on purchase history. Replenishable products get replenishment reminders. Fashion buyers see new arrivals in their preferred categories.
Escalation sequences
Multi-step winback flows that build urgency. Gentle reminder → product recommendation → time-limited offer → final attempt with strongest incentive. Each step filtered by engagement.
