Wine Club Retention 
 
Predict Churn Risk and Act Earlier
Churn rarely starts with a cancellation. It starts with drift.
 
What drift looks like
• Stops opening emails
• Engages less with releases
• Buys less between shipments
• Feels less connected while still “active”
 
That is why retention is not one save campaign. It is a system. The fastest way to improve retention is to catch risk earlier, then focus your time on the members who are drifting.
 
3 signals that spot drift early
 
Recency
Recent opens, clicks, site activity, add-on purchases
 
Do: simple check-in or personal invite
Consistency
A normally engaged member suddenly goes quiet
 
Do: ask what they want more of, adjust cadence
Value
High lifetime value behaviors, add-ons, referrals, events
 
Do: human outreach, recognition, insider access
 
Match outreach to the moment
 
VIPs who are drifting: personal outreach that feels human.
Uncertain fit: value clarity and preference check-ins.
Core loyalists: reinforce belonging with insider moments.
Stable but quiet: light, relevant touchpoints that build connection.
