BEST USED FOR

Retention-focused growth, subscription renewal strategies, user engagement optimization, churn prevention, post-purchase experience design.

USE CASE

Most startups focus too much on acquisition and ignore retention—which is the real driver of long-term growth and profitability.

If customers are churning, you don’t have a growth problem—you have a product or experience problem.

This prompt ensures you get practical, data-driven strategies to keep users engaged, increase retention, and build customer loyalty.

REALITY CHECK

Retention is about making your product indispensable, not optional. Get users to value fast, build habits, personalize everything, and make leaving feel like a loss. Solve problems before they happen—churn prevention is the real game.
