The Retention Marketing Podcast with Fexingo: Email, SMS, and Loyalty for Repeat Customers

In this episode of The Retention Marketing Podcast, Lucas and Luna dive into how a pet food brand used targeted SMS campaigns to win back customers who hadn't purchased in 90 days. They break down the specific strategies: a three-message sequence with personalized offers, timing based on pet food consumption, and A/B testing discount levels. The brand saw a 35% reactivation rate and a 20% increase in repeat purchases from lapsed customers. Lucas and Luna discuss the importance of using purchase data to predict when a customer is likely to run out of product, and why SMS is effective for time-sensitive offers. They also touch on the role of urgency and social proof in re-engagement messages. Tune in to learn how to apply these tactics to your own brand's retention marketing.

For episode 100 of The Retention Marketing Podcast, Lucas and Luna dive into a specific case: how a mid-size beauty brand called Luna & Sage (fictional) uses birthday email sequences to drive repeat purchases. The brand saw a 50 percent increase in repeat rate among customers who received the birthday trigger versus a control group. Lucas walks through the three-email sequence: a teaser five days before, the day-of offer with a free gift on orders over $50, and a three-day reminder. Luna questions whether the lift is sustainable and brings up data on average order value versus repeat rate trade-offs. They discuss why birthday emails work better than generic coupons for beauty: personalization and emotional timing. The episode also touches on how Luna & Sage uses customer birthdate data collected at sign-up, the timing of the trigger relative to the customer's lifecycle, and the importance of segmenting by recency to avoid annoying recent purchasers. No fluff—just one concrete strategy with numbers.

Lucas and Luna dive into how a direct-to-consumer skincare brand called GlowTheory used a data-driven email sequence to shorten its average repeat purchase window from 90 days to 63 days. They break down the three-email strategy: a replenishment reminder timed to product usage, a social proof email featuring user-generated content, and a limited-edition restock alert. The episode explores why timing matters more than discounting for repeat purchases, how the brand calculated optimal send dates based on product consumption rates, and the surprising result that 30-day repeat rate increased by 30 percent without any discount offers. Lucas explains the math behind usage-based triggers, and Luna pushes back on whether this works for low-engagement categories. A concrete playbook for any brand selling consumable products.

In this episode, Lucas and Luna break down how a mid-size pet brand, Paws & Co., used a clever SMS sequence triggered immediately after delivery to increase repeat purchase rate by 30 percent in just 90 days. They walk through the exact timing, message copy, and incentive structure the brand tested—including why sending a text 24 hours after delivery outperformed the typical 3-day delay. Lucas explains the psychology behind the 'post-purchase activation window' and why most brands waste this moment. Luna shares why the brand avoided discounting and instead used a 'product care tip plus surprise reward' approach that felt like a service, not a sale. This episode is packed with tactical details any e-commerce marketer can adapt immediately.

In this episode of The Retention Marketing Podcast, Lucas and Luna dive into how a mid-size supplement brand uses a specific post-purchase email sequence to increase repeat purchase rate by 25 percent. They break down the brand's three-email flow: the 'day 3 check-in' that asks about first impressions, the 'day 10 usage tip' that shares creative ways to consume the product, and the 'day 21 reorder reminder' with a subtle consumption-based nudge. Lucas shares the exact open and click-through rates the brand saw, and Luna challenges whether a consumption-based trigger might outperform a fixed-day cadence. They also touch on how the brand segments customers by product category to avoid irrelevant recommendations. A practical episode for any marketer looking to build a low-tech, high-impact retention loop.

Episode 96 of The Retention Marketing Podcast. Lucas and Luna dig into how a pet supply brand, Pettail, uses abandoned cart SMS messages to convert one-time buyers into repeat customers. They walk through the exact three-message sequence: a triggered text at 30 minutes with a product photo, a follow-up at 4 hours with a social proof line, and a final offer at 24 hours with a small discount. Lucas shares the data: 18 percent of recipients clicked through, 9 percent purchased, and of those, 63 percent made a second purchase within 60 days. Luna pushes back on whether discounting trains customers to wait, and they discuss how Pettail layered in a loyalty prompt after the first purchase to lock in the repeat buy.

In this episode of The Retention Marketing Podcast, Lucas and Luna explore how a beauty brand used gift cards to boost repeat purchases by 25 percent. They break down the strategy behind a post-purchase email sequence that turned one-time buyers into loyal customers. The brand offered a small gift card incentive after the first purchase, timed to arrive just as the initial product would be running low. Lucas explains the psychology of delayed rewards and how this brand set the gift card value at exactly the right threshold to encourage a second purchase without cannibalizing margins. Luna shares data on gift card redemption rates and how the brand tracked repeat purchase cycles. They also discuss why most brands leave money on the table by not using gift cards as a retention tool. Tune in for a specific, actionable case study you can apply to your own retention marketing.

In episode 94 of The Retention Marketing Podcast, Lucas and Luna unpack a specific retention tactic that doesn't get enough airtime: product sampling emails. They look at how a beauty brand called Flora & Fable uses a two-step email sequence to turn free-sample recipients into full-size buyers. The hosts walk through the exact email copy, the timing window, and the conversion numbers — a 22 percent repeat-purchase lift from customers who received a sample versus those who didn't. They also discuss why sampling works differently for digital-native brands versus traditional retail, and why the trigger matters more than the discount. If you're a brand sitting on a sample inventory and not sending a follow-up email, this one's for you.

When a customer returns an item, the brand sends a personalized email with fit alternatives or complementary products, turning a potentially negative experience into a second purchase.

They also discuss the operational and data considerations for implementing such a strategy, including real-time inventory integration and customer preferences. A practical episode for any marketer looking to turn returns into retention.
