When Customers Left After a Price Increase, We Brought Them Back
A national subscription brand experienced a sharp increase in churn after raising prices. Customers began canceling or pausing subscriptions, leading to declining revenue and reduced engagement.
TeleDirect deployed a targeted, personalized reactivation campaign designed to reconnect with former subscribers and restore retention.

40% increase in customer retention within 3 weeks
-
Hundreds of accounts reactivated
-
Measurable results within 3 weeks

The Challenge
Churn Spiked Following a Price Increase
After implementing a pricing change, the client saw a significant rise in cancellations and paused subscriptions. Customers disengaged quickly, and traditional outreach efforts were not effective in bringing them back.
The Constraint
Re-Engagement Requires Precision and Empathy
The solution needed to:
-
Personalize outreach based on customer usage history
-
Communicate value without appearing overly promotional
-
Rebuild trust and interest quickly
-
Target the right customer segments for maximum impact
Generic campaigns would not deliver results.
