Subscriptions & loyalty.

Subscription program optimization, winback and churn reduction, loyalty and rewards.

Subscriptions and loyalty turn one order into a habit — when they are designed well. We fix the offer, the churn logic and the rewards so customers choose to stay.

What’s included

Make staying the easy choice.

A subscription with no churn plan leaks. A loyalty program nobody understands is a cost. We design both around the behavior you want to reward.

01 · Subscription

Get the offer right.

An offer that makes subscribing the obvious choice, not a hidden checkbox.

  • Subscription offer and pricing
  • Subscribe placement on the PDP
  • Delivery frequency options
  • Subscription upgrade prompts
  • Customer portal experience
02 · Churn

Keep them subscribed.

The cancel flow and the moments before it, where most programs quietly lose customers.

  • Churn and cancellation analysis
  • Pause, skip and swap options
  • Cancel-flow save offers
  • Failed payment recovery
  • Win-back for canceled subscribers
03 · Loyalty

Reward what matters.

A program that rewards repeat behavior without giving margin away.

  • Points and rewards design
  • Tiers and VIP benefits
  • Referral programs
  • Loyalty messaging in email and SMS
  • Program cost against margin

Inside the portal

Give them a way to pause, and fewer of them will leave.

Most cancellations are a timing problem, not a product problem. A portal with skip, swap and pause turns “cancel” into “not this month.”

A subscription portal with skip, swap and pause options. Choosing to cancel opens a save offer that suggests a less frequent delivery, a pause or a swap first.

Before you go

Most people who cancel just have too much. Would one of these help?

  • Deliver every 8 weeks instead(selected)
  • Pause for one month
  • Swap to a different flavor
  • Cancel anyway

How it works

From audit to a program that holds.

We stop the churn before we chase new subscribers — it is the cheaper win.

Loyalty, designed

Rewards that pay for themselves.

Every tier is priced against margin before launch. The rewards go to the behavior you want more of — ordering again, and bringing friends.

From your first order

  • Points on every order
  • Birthday reward
  • Early sale access

Insider tier, level 2 of 3

From $250 a year

  • Everything in Member
  • Free returns
  • 1.5× points

VIP tier, level 3 of 3

From $750 a year

  • Everything in Insider
  • Free express shipping
  • First look at launches
  • A person, not a queue

Who it’s for

A fit for some brands. Honest about the rest.

Best-fit signals

  • Subscription program with unmanaged churn
  • Subscribers canceling after one or two orders
  • No pause or skip option
  • Loyalty program with low participation
  • Consumable or replenishable products
  • Rewards costing more than they return

Not a fit

  • One-off purchase products only
  • Pre-product-market-fit, or under $50k/month
  • No subscription or loyalty app planned
  • Marketplace-only sellers with no site

Below roughly 500 orders a month (about 50,000 sessions at a 1% conversion rate), a testing program produces inconclusive results. Brands under that floor get research-led fixes and implementation instead, or an honest referral.

FAQ

Before we redesign your program.

Didn't see your question? Email us at 100xretention@gmail.com

Which subscription apps do you work with?

The major Shopify subscription apps. If yours limits what is possible, we will say so before recommending a move.

Do we need both subscription and loyalty?

No. Some brands need one, some need both. The audit tells you which is worth doing first.

Will save offers train customers to cancel?

Not if they are designed well. We use pause and swap before discounts, and test what actually keeps people.

How do you measure success?

Churn rate, subscriber lifetime value and loyalty participation — against margin, not just revenue.

Can you launch a program from scratch?

Yes. We design the offer, set up the app and build the messaging around it.

How long before churn improves?

Cancel-flow changes show within weeks. LTV takes longer, so we report leading indicators as it moves.
