Win ‘Em Back: Increase Customer Engagement and Revenue With Targeted Campaigns

Three people share a relaxed moment by a sunlit window, one holding a joint, with smiles and warm light filling the scene.

Scenario

Stairway Cannabis, a leading medical and adult-use marijuana retailer, aimed to enhance customer retention and drive repeat visits by re-engaging customers with targeted communications. The goal was to win back lapsed customers, boost repeat visits, and generate increased revenue while rewarding loyal shoppers.

In a competitive market, Stairway Cannabis needed an effective way to keep customers engaged and returning to the dispensary. They wanted to incentivize frequent shoppers, reward customer loyalty, and re-engage customers who hadn’t visited recently.

Approach

The TOKE Agency launched a series of personalized offers sent via email, each designed to address different customer segments and engagement levels. These included birthday rewards, appreciation discounts, and 60/90/120-day customer retention communications. 

The Campaigns

Birthday Discount

Send out personalized 25% off discounts on customers’ birthdays, offering a special incentive to celebrate with a purchase at Stairway Cannabis. This campaign drives loyalty by making customers feel valued on their special day.

$5 off Your Next Visit

After their third visit, loyal customers receive a thank-you discount of $5 off their next purchase. This campaign provides a small yet effective incentive to encourage repeat visits and strengthen customer engagement.

60/90/120-Day Lifecycle

This campaign employs a tiered approach to target and retain customers who haven’t visited recently. At 60 days, they receive a 15% discount as an incentive to return. If they’re still inactive by 90 days, the offer is increased to 20%, and by 120 days, a final 25% discount is provided. This escalating strategy helps capture their attention at multiple touchpoints, effectively retaining customer interest and encouraging repeat visits.
