We don't know what triggers repeat use

By

Repeat use is triggered by something: a time, a need, a reminder or a habit. Compare what happens just before your loyal users come back, find the common triggers, and build prompts around them.

We don't know what triggers repeat use

We don't know what triggers repeat use

Problem

Some users come back every week. You do not know why.

Your loyal users have a pattern, but nobody has studied it. Reminders go out on a fixed schedule that has nothing to do with when people actually need the product.

So repeat use stays a happy accident.

Insight

Every repeat visit has a trigger, and most are predictable.

Loyal users return at certain times, after certain events or when a certain need comes up: payday, the weekend, a deadline, running out of something. Your data shows these patterns once you look.

Prompts timed to those triggers work far better than generic reminders.

How we approach it

We find the triggers and time your prompts to them.

  1. We study the sessions and orders of your most regular users to see what comes before each return.
  2. We identify the triggers that show up most often.
  3. We build reminders and messages timed to those triggers and test them against your current schedule.

Repeat use becomes something you can plan for.
