Customer Retention Strategy

Our response aimed to address the immediate attrition challenges and provide our client with a robust framework for continuously refining their retention strategies.

Understanding Customer Profiles

We analyzed behavioral and demographic data and created distinct segments based on product type, usage, and payment patterns. We then evaluated promotional activities targeted at various customer segments to optimize our approach and better cater to specific customer groups.

Choosing the Right Predictive Model

We evaluated three predictive model algorithms — Survival Analysis, Logistic, and Recurrent Approach Models — to determine the most suitable fit. The selected model enabled the concentration of retention efforts, ensuring the optimal utilization of available budgets.

Refining Messaging for Better Targeting

We then analyzed retention drivers, identified potential customer attrition, and devised strategies to maximize the return on investment (ROI). Our recommendations included adjusting the product mix and timing of promotions to optimize ROI for customers at risk of attrition effectively.
