“For defecting customers, we offer incentivized and non-incentivized emails. We test incentives all the time. So, we may go ‘here’s £10 off, and here’s £20 off,’ and we’ll test that to see which gets best results. But some we don’t even incentivize… we’ve had great success in just building good, relevant, personalized content over just smashing out a £10 discount code.”
