Why Use This Calculator?
A churned customer isn’t necessarily gone forever. Tracking your win-back rate helps evaluate the effectiveness of your reactivation campaigns. Often, returning customers have a higher lifetime value than first-time users.
Formulas

FAQs

Why focus on win-backs? Winning back an old customer is often cheaper than acquiring a completely new one.
What is a good win-back rate? Average win-back rates hover around 1-5% depending on the strategy and industry.
How do I improve win-back rates? Send targeted emails based on the reason they churned, and offer discounts or highlight new product features.
When should I try to win them back? Usually 30, 90, or 180 days after they churn, giving them enough time to miss the product or experience pain without it.
