Can I create win-back discounts for lost customers?

I'm struggling to re-engage customers who have stopped purchasing from my online store. I've noticed that my customer retention rates are dropping, and I want to create targeted discount strategies that can effectively bring back lost or inactive customers. I need practical guidance on designing win-back campaigns that feel personalized and genuinely motivating, without appearing desperate or devaluing my brand. What are the most effective approaches to crafting discounts that can reignite interest and encourage previous customers to return?

TL;DR - Quick Answer

Create win-back discount campaigns in Growth Suite by targeting customers who have not purchased in a defined period (e.g., 90+ days). Use Shopify customer segments to tag lapsed customers, then configure Growth Suite campaigns that activate when these customers return to your site - offering a compelling incentive to re-engage.

Creating Win-Back Discounts for Lost Customers

Win-back campaigns target customers who have not returned to purchase. The window between 60-180 days since last purchase is typically when win-back efforts are most effective - beyond that, customers are harder to re-engage.

180+ days25% off or $20 credit24-hour timer

Win-back trigger: Configure Growth Suite to activate the win-back campaign when a tagged lapsed customer visits the site. The on-site trigger converts better than email alone - the customer is already back and browsing, so the discount is seen in a purchasing context.
