The PROBLEM
When growth depends on ads, something’s missing.
For many e-commerce brands, growth is driven by paid ads. Customers buy once and disappear, while retention is left unmanaged. Without a system to capture repeat revenue, every month starts from zero again.
Too much revenue depends on ads
Growth feels good on the surface, but underneath, rising acquisition costs eat into margins and increase risk.
Customers buy once and then disappear
Repeat purchases are underdeveloped, leaving revenue heavily dependent on constantly acquiring new customers.
No time or internal expertise for retention
Retention is important, but it’s always deprioritized — there’s no one owning it as a system.
THE SOLUTION
A system for predictable retention growth.
We design, build, and manage retention systems that increase customer lifetime value, stabilize revenue, and reduce the pressure on paid acquisition.
Audit & consulting
We audit your email & SMS setup to uncover revenue gaps, retention leaks, and the highest-impact opportunities to focus on first.
Strategy & account management
We own the retention strategy end-to-end, turning insights into a clear roadmap and keeping execution aligned with growth goals.
Automations & flow setup
We build high-impact flows that run in the background and generate repeat revenue automatically across the customer lifecycle.
Monthly campaigning
We plan and send campaigns that convert — aligned with your calendar, launches, and promotions, not random blasts.
List growth & segmentation
We grow and segment your list so the right message reaches the right customer at the right moment.
Deliverability optimization
We protect inbox placement and sender reputation so your emails actually get seen — not filtered or ignored.
HOW WE DO IT
A clear path to repeat revenue
STEP 1
Retention audit
We audit your current email & SMS setup, flows, data, and performance to identify revenue leaks, retention gaps, and missed opportunities across the customer journey.
STEP 2
Deep quantitative customer research
We analyze real customer data (reviews, surveys, behavior) to understand what your customers actually think, feel, and care about to write emails that feel uncomfortably relevant.
STEP 3
System build
We design and implement a profit-first retention system: core flows, segmentation, automation logic, and messaging built to increase LTV and repeat purchases.
STEP 4
Ongoing optimization & campaigns
We manage campaigns, test offers and messaging, and continuously optimize the system — turning retention into a reliable, compounding revenue channel.
THE SOLUTION
Designs that convert and don't just look good.
We design, build, and manage retention systems that increase customer lifetime value, stabilize revenue, and reduce the pressure on paid acquisition.

Marco Bode
I’ve spent over five years working in DTC and built my own skincare brand from scratch — including the mistakes that come with it. I’ve run paid ads, chased growth, and learned firsthand why revenue that depends on acquisition alone is fragile. That experience is what pulled me into retention and lifecycle marketing. Today, I focus on building data-driven systems that compound over time instead of resetting every month.

I’d been working with a different agency for four months, and Adaptic accomplished more in two weeks than the agency did in that entire time. I’m very impressed by the attention to detail and the strategic thinking behind the email campaigns. Highly recommend working with Adaptic.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions.
What kind of revenue increase can I expect?
Our clients typically see a 10-35% lift in overall revenue from retention marketing within 90 days. For established email programs, this channel often accounts for 20-30% of total store revenue. Your results depend on your current setup, list size, and product margins. We provide personalized projections during our strategy call.
What’s the process to get started?
We start with a short discovery call to understand your goals, then put together a tailored strategy and onboarding plan to get started quickly.
Do you work with brands under $1M/year revenue?
Yes! For brands under $1M/year, we recommend our Core Foundation Flow Build-Out. It's a one-time build that covers everything you need to get your email marketing engine running: welcome series, abandoned cart, post-purchase, browse abandonment, and more.
How long does it take to see results?
You'll see results in two phases: Quick wins (14 days) with improved email metrics, and substantial revenue impact (60-90 days) as flows are built and campaigns optimize. We typically have you on our first strategy call within 3 days, first assets for review in 7-10 days, and campaigns launching in 2-3 weeks.
Do you offer free ad account audits?
We offer free audits for email and SMS accounts, giving you a clear overview of what’s working, what’s missing, and where the biggest growth opportunities are.
How much involvement is required from our side?
Minimal. We handle strategy, execution, and optimization. You’ll stay informed, but you won’t be managing another agency.
What if we want to bring this in-house later?
That’s fine. Our systems are documented and transferable. We’d rather build something that works long-term than lock you in artificially.
