Not so humble brag: We& #39;ve now recovered over $250M in churn (billions in LTV) for our #DTC and #SaaS customers.

Cool announcement: We just launched SMS churn recovery as part of the ProfitWell Retain suite.

Here& #39;s more about credit cards + SMS than you ever wanted to know https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👇" title="Rückhand Zeigefinger nach unten" aria-label="Emoji: Rückhand Zeigefinger nach unten">
As @ahhensel, @benparr, @thealiciathomas, and brother from another mother @davegerhardt have all talked about texting is one of the most underutilized channels.

As Adobe data shows. SMS has:
- 98% open rates https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👀" title="Augen" aria-label="Emoji: Augen">
- 90% opens within the first 3 seconds. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="‼️" title="Doppeltes Ausrufezeichen" aria-label="Emoji: Doppeltes Ausrufezeichen">

How does SMS get us to the next $250M in churn recovery?

Well, Retain targets the 20-40% of your churn that& #39;s purely mechanical, chiefly through recovering failed payments.

There are 130+ different reasons why a credit card would fail. We handle all of them. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💳" title="Kreditkarte" aria-label="Emoji: Kreditkarte">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🚑" title="Rettungswagen" aria-label="Emoji: Rettungswagen">

Your recovery rate on these folks is pretty weak right now - if 10 customers have their credit card fail, you& #39;re getting less than 3 of them back.

What& #39;s Retain do?

We study billions of transactions that flow through ProfitWell monthly (20k+ companies and counting) and through that data automatically trigger the

Right *message* through the right *channel* at the right *time*.

SMS is a new arrow in Retain& #39;s quiver. 4/
We& #39;ve already seen absolute recovery rate increases from 5-20%, which when you& #39;re talking about recovering churn, is pretty insane. 5/
