Optimising Customer Retention Through Predictive Analytics

Industry
B2C Services
Challenge
A business in the B2C sector was experiencing high customer churn, struggling to retain customers beyond their initial purchase cycle. They needed a way to predict when customers were likely to leave and implement strategies to improve retention and lifetime value.
Solution
The team first integrated relevant customer data from various sources, including CRM systems, customer service interactions, and sales records. This data was cleaned, organised, and structured using advanced data processing techniques to ensure its suitability for further analysis. With predictive modelling, they analysed customer data such as purchase history, interaction logs, and service usage to identify key churn indicators like reduced engagement and lower transaction frequency.
By applying advanced analysis, the team was able to uncover specific behaviours that correlated with potential churn. The insights were visualised through interactive dashboards, allowing the client to segment at-risk customers and design targeted retention campaigns. These efforts included personalised offers, proactive customer service outreach, and tailored communications aimed at re-engaging customers before they churned.
Results
Within six months of implementing these data-driven retention strategies, the client saw a 12% decrease in customer churn. Furthermore, customer lifetime value increased by 9%, and the proactive approach boosted customer satisfaction and engagement.
