Boosting Engagement and Reducing Churn for a Singapore E-commerce Business

Challenges: Customer Churn and Low Engagement

The client faced several challenges, the main challenges included: 

- High Customer Churn: Even though our clients offered discounts, customers were not returning to make more purchases. 

- Low Engagement Rates: Customers didn't respond to old-fashioned ways of engaging with businesses, like email messages. 

- Ineffective Lead Capture: The brand's old forms weren't getting enough leads, which meant they missed out on sales opportunities.  

Because of these problems, conversion rates and customer trust declined, and marketing costs increased.
