Targeted Retention, Not Batch-and-Blast
Segments. Not Site-Wide Sales.
Acquiring a new click costs more than securing a repeat purchase. Blanket discounts burn profit margins and risk WhatsApp bans. volbor slices your customer base into high-converting cohorts.
Cohorts
Three Customer Wallet States
Recent
New arrivals and loyalty rewards. No discounts needed.
At risk [1]
Restocks and seasonal reminders. Lull is longer than their typical buying cycle.
Dormant
High-intent incentive with a hard deadline. Never a blanket “50% off everything”.
Why Email Alone Fails
Batch-and-Blast Burns Channels Faster Than It Wins Orders
Buried in the Promotions Tab
Open rates plummet when campaigns lack segmentation.
Irrelevant Offers
Sending cat food promos to dog owners.
WhatsApp Account Bans
Blasting hundreds of identical messages from personal numbers.
Broken Login Walls
Links force users to re-login on mobile websites.
Cost-Optimization Cascade
Free Channels First, Paid SMS as the Last Resort
- 1
Telegram
Rich media and interactive buttons. Cost-effective.
- 2
WhatsApp
Approved template if Telegram remains unread.
- 3
Web Push
Browser prompt without paying for SMS.
- 4
SMS
Reserved for VIPs when chat channels go quiet.
Lifecycle Triggers
Outreach with a Purpose
- Birthdays
- Expiring Loyalty Points
- Seasonal Collections
- Purchase Anniversaries
