LOS ANGELES · RETENTION ROADSHOW · JAN 20
Retention in Los Angeles.
Your next order. A stronger relationship.
Los Angeles
We’re spending a week in Los Angeles, bringing local brand and agency founders, operators, and marketers together for Acquisition, Retention, and AI & Ops. You’re looking at Retention. Come for this day, or add another topic to your week. Each show has its own experts and roundtables. Join one show for $100, or get all three that week for $200 with the city bundle.
Fresh thinking.
A practical plan.
Build a retention plan that gives customers a reason to come back. Spend a focused day working through email, SMS, and the customer journey and turn those ideas into priorities for 2027. Meet your peers in Los Angeles for a day away from the day-to-day: focused expert talks, hands-on working sessions, and conversations about the work you share.
The first purchase is the start of the relationship. Give yourself a day to think through what happens next and how email, SMS, and lifecycle experiences can earn the next order.
These are the themes guiding the workshop. Individual sessions will be announced with the expert lineup.
- 01
Email and SMS with a purpose.
Think beyond the next send. Discuss how campaigns, flows, and messaging can work together, with the right balance of timing, relevance, and frequency.
- 02
The journey after checkout.
Work through onboarding, post-purchase education, replenishment, and win-back opportunities. Find the moments where a better experience could earn another order.
- 03
Know who’s coming back.
Explore segmentation, repeat purchase behavior, and customer lifetime value. Use those signals to decide where your retention work can make the biggest difference.
- 04
A lifecycle plan for 2027.
Bring your ideas into a practical roadmap. Prioritize the journeys to improve, the messages to test, and the measures that will help you learn.
Less sitting back.
More figuring it out.
Join 100–125 brand and agency founders, operators, and marketers for a day focused on retention. Hear 3–4 expert talks, then discuss how the ideas apply to your business in moderated small-group roundtables.
