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

In this episode of The Retention Marketing Podcast with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna explore how a pet food brand called Fetch & Feast used QR codes on packaging to drive repeat purchases and build a loyalty loop. They break down the strategy: a scannable QR that leads to a personalized landing page, a 15% discount offer for signing up, and an email sequence that educates on portion control and product variety. The hosts share specific results: a 25% repeat purchase rate from QR-driven signups and a 30% reduction in churn among customers who scanned. This episode is a concrete case study for any brand looking to turn a physical product into a digital retention machine.

In this episode, Lucas and Luna examine how a pet food brand used targeted SMS campaigns to shorten the average time between repeat purchases from 45 days to 28 days. They break down the two-part strategy: a post-purchase 'check-in' text at day 10 to reinforce the purchase decision, and a 'running low' reminder at day 21 with a direct link to reorder. The hosts analyze the data behind the campaign, including a 62 percent click-through rate on the reminder messages and a 34 percent increase in repeat purchase rate within 30 days. Lucas and Luna also discuss the psychology of habit formation and how SMS timing can shift customer behavior without discounts. They explore the challenges of getting the timing right across different customer segments and how the brand used purchase history data to personalize message timing. This episode offers practical insights for any brand looking to use SMS to accelerate repeat purchases and build stronger customer habits.

They break down the data model, the trigger logic, and the results — including how they avoided over-messaging and kept churn flat. A concrete case for using timing, not just frequency, in retention messaging.

Lucas and Luna dig into a specific referral campaign from a mid-sized tea brand called Leaf & Bloom. Over six weeks, the brand ran a two-touch SMS referral program offering a $10 credit to both referrer and friend. The results: a 60 percent lift in repeat purchase rate among referred customers compared to organic first-timers. The hosts break down the mechanics—timing of the first text, the second reminder, and the landing page design—and discuss why SMS referrals work particularly well for consumable brands with high satisfaction scores. They also touch on the economics of the $10 credit versus customer lifetime value. A practical, case-driven episode for marketers focused on retention.

Lucas and Luna break down how a mid-sized specialty coffee roaster cut its monthly subscription churn rate from 6.8 percent to 3.2 percent in five months by sending a single SMS the day before a customer's next billing date. They walk through the exact copy, timing, and offer structure — a free bag of coffee with no strings attached — and why the brand chose SMS over email for this specific behavior. You'll learn the three-tier logic the team used to decide which customers got the offer and which got a simple reminder instead, plus why the data forced them to stop sending the offer to everyone. A concrete, zero-fluff case study on using retention marketing to save subscribers before they even click cancel.

Episode 86 of The Retention Marketing Podcast: Lucas and Luna dive into how a direct-to-consumer snack brand uses SMS to drive repeat purchases by giving existing customers first access to limited-edition flavors. They walk through the strategy behind a recent drop that sold out in under 4 hours — including the three-text sequence, the psychology of scarcity, and the surprising role of reply-based customer feedback. Along the way they discuss why SMS is uniquely suited for this kind of campaign versus email or push notifications, and how the brand measures success by repeat purchase rate rather than open rate. A concrete case for marketers looking to turn product drops into loyalty loops.

On this episode of The Retention Marketing Podcast, Lucas and Luna explore how a specialty coffee roaster called Counter Culture built a welcome email sequence that turns one-time buyers into loyal subscribers. They break down the three-email flow: a storytelling origin email, a brewing guide email, and a community invitation email. They share the specific open and click-through rates Counter Culture saw after redesigning their welcome series, and explain why the timing of the second email matters more than most brands think. Lucas also digs into how Counter Culture uses data from the welcome sequence to segment new customers for future SMS and loyalty campaigns. The episode wraps with a look at how any brand — not just coffee — can apply the same principle of 'education before promotion' in their own welcome flows. No clickbait, no fluff — just one concrete retention strategy you can borrow this week.

In this episode of The Retention Marketing Podcast, Lucas and Luna explore how a pet food brand called PetPlate used a targeted SMS reactivation campaign to win back customers who hadn't ordered in over 90 days. By segmenting lapsed customers by their previous purchase frequency and sending a two-message sequence with a personalized 25% discount offer, PetPlate recovered 18% of the lapsed segment within 30 days. Lucas breaks down the specific timing, offer structure, and copywriting choices that made the campaign work, while Luna questions whether SMS is the right channel for pet food — a category where customers might be more emotionally attached to their pets than to the brand. The episode also discusses how PetPlate used order history data to tailor the discount amount and how they handled unsubscribes gracefully. If you're running a subscription or repeat-purchase brand and wondering whether SMS can bring back customers who've gone silent, this episode offers a concrete playbook.

In this episode of The Retention Marketing Podcast, Lucas and Luna explore how a pet brand named Bark & Root uses post-purchase order add-ons to increase repeat purchase rate. They break down the numbers: Bark & Root saw a 22% lift in repeat rate within 90 days after introducing the add-on offer. Lucas explains the psychology of the 'I already bought' moment, and how the brand uses the checkout page to suggest a complementary product — like a dental chew after a bag of kibble. They discuss timing, copy, and why the add-on needs to feel like a discovery, not an upsell. Luna shares a counterexample from a failed add-on test at a tea brand. The episode includes listener tips for testing add-ons without overwhelming the buyer.

Lucas and Luna explore how a pet food brand called Bark & Bowl uses lifecycle milestone emails—adoption anniversaries, birthday greetings, and weight-change alerts—to drive a 35% repeat purchase rate among customers who receive them. They break down the specific triggers, timing, and creative approach that makes these emails feel personal rather than automated, and discuss why lifecycle marketing works especially well for categories with emotional attachment. The episode includes a concrete example of how Bark & Bowl segments by pet age to recommend the right product at the right moment, and why a simple 'we remember your dog' subject line outperformed discount-heavy alternatives.
