Objective
Identify churn factors, improve engagement, and set up retention mechanisms (reengagement, gamification, loyalty) based on data.
Workflow
- Measure retention KPIs (retention rate, churn, DAU/MAU, NRR, LTV)
- Analyze retention curves by cohort
- Calculate churn risk scores per user
- Identify behaviors correlated with retention (correlation analysis)
- Segment cohorts (power users, at-risk, dormant)
- Set up reengagement strategies (emails, in-app notifications)
- Implement gamification (achievements, streaks, rewards)
- Monitor and iterate

For deeper retention methodology (cohort/RFM analysis, churn-prevention playbooks), pair this with coreyhaines31/marketingskills (churn-prevention sub-skill) — install per docs/recipes/recommended-vendor-skills.md §"Corey Haines — coreyhaines31/marketingskills". Use the vendor for the deep execution layer; keep this command for the foundation workflow orchestration.
IMPORTANT: Retention is decided as early as onboarding. The first 7 days are critical.
YOU MUST track churn indicators to act proactively.
YOU MUST personalize strategies per segment.
NEVER ignore disengagement signals.
Think hard about the "Aha moment" that converts users into loyal users.
