Common business problem

You keep winning new customers — and losing them just as fast

Acquisition costs have never been higher, yet a large share of customers who buy once never return. Each lost repeat customer represents not just a missed sale but the compounded lifetime value of every future purchase they would have made.

Why this keeps happening

This problem is structural — it will not fix itself without the right system in place.

No post-purchase follow-up — customers feel forgotten after the transaction
Loyalty program is a plastic card that gets lost in a wallet, never used
Re-engagement campaigns go to email, which has 15–22% open rates
No early warning system for customers who are going quiet
Promotions are batch-blasted, not personalised to purchase history

How DMHub fixes it

A system built specifically for this problem

Automated post-purchase check-in sequence

DMHub sends a WhatsApp check-in 7 days after purchase, a satisfaction question at 14 days, and a personalised reorder prompt at day 30 — all automatic, all on the channel customers actually read.

Digital loyalty with WhatsApp delivery

Points, tier status, and rewards delivered via WhatsApp, not a plastic card. Customers see their balance in a message, not buried in an app. Usage rates are 4× higher than card-based programs.

At-risk customer detection

DMHub uses RFM scoring (Recency, Frequency, Monetary value) to flag customers who are going quiet before they churn. A win-back sequence triggers automatically when a customer goes 60 days without activity.

Segment-based re-engagement

Send Champions a VIP early-access offer. Send At-Risk customers a personal check-in. Send Dormant customers your best win-back deal. Different messages for different segments — all automated.

Frequently asked questions

How does DMHub know which customers are at risk of churning?

DMHub calculates an RFM score for every customer: Recency (days since last visit), Frequency (number of visits in 90 days), and Monetary value (total spend). Customers whose scores drop below a configurable threshold trigger the at-risk workflow.

Can I run the loyalty program alongside my existing POS system?

Yes. DMHub connects to Square, Stripe, Shopify, and most major POS systems. Points are awarded based on transaction data from your existing system.

How many contacts do I need before the segmentation becomes useful?

Segmentation is meaningful from around 200 contacts. Under that threshold, DMHub still sends the post-purchase sequences and loyalty nudges — segmentation insights just become richer as your list grows.

What is the win-back sequence for dormant customers?

DMHub sends three touches over two weeks: a personal check-in, a social proof message, and a time-limited offer. If a customer does not re-engage, they move to a quarterly keep-warm list.

Does DMHub handle unsubscribes from WhatsApp?

Yes. Any customer who replies STOP is immediately removed from all marketing sequences and flagged so staff are aware. Transactional messages (order confirmations, receipts) are not affected.
