💡 KEY INSIGHTS FROM SIMULATION
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
1. ENGAGEMENT IS KING
The Engagement & Onboarding Campaign shows the highest impact:
• Reduces churn by 56.3% (from 35.5% to 15.5%)
• Saves 40 customers/month
• Delivers 1,400% ROI with only $1,500/month investment
→ ACTION: Prioritize email automation, feature tutorials, and improved onboarding
2. CONVERSION DRIVES RETENTION
Converting Free users to paid plans significantly reduces churn:
• Free plan has 48.1% churn vs Basic plan at 20.6%
• Free-to-Paid program saves 37 customers/month
• Delivers 2,120% ROI with $1,000/month investment
→ ACTION: Create targeted upgrade campaigns with time-limited incentives
3. COMPREHENSIVE APPROACH NEEDS REFINEMENT
The all-inclusive program doesn't deliver proportional returns:
• 4x the cost but only marginally better than individual programs
• Some interventions may have overlapping or diminishing effects
→ ACTION: Start with 1-2 high-ROI programs, then layer additional interventions
4. PROACTIVE SUPPORT ALONE IS INSUFFICIENT
While support interaction reduces churn, dedicated program cost is too high:
• Only saves 2 customers/month
• Negative ROI of -95%
→ ACTION: Integrate proactive outreach into engagement campaign instead
