The primary natural frequency for Rentomojo’s core product—rental engagement—is annual, aligned with the typical duration of rental agreements. However, monthly interactions occur due to recurring rent payments and wallet top-ups.
Average Subscription Length
The average length of subscription provides insight into user retention and helps put Rentomojo’s acquisition efforts into perspective. Longer subscription terms indicate deeper engagement, minimize churn, and enhance overall customer lifetime value.

Monthly rent payments are directly tied to Rentomojo’s revenue stream. This metric correlates with the financial health of the user base and indicates the sustained value they derive from the platform.
Average Wallet Balance
The average amount users maintain in their Rentomojo wallet demonstrates their commitment to the platform. A higher wallet balance reflects users’ intent to stay engaged, at least until their funds are fully utilized.
Wallet Recharges (Last 6 Months)
The number of wallet recharges within the last six months indicates sustained engagement. Each recharge represents a recurring commitment to payments and generates additional website visits.
Number of Rent Re-subscriptions
Re-subscriptions reflect trust in Rentomojo’s product and service quality. Users who continue to renew their rentals show confidence in the platform, reinforcing customer satisfaction and brand reliability.

We will be using the following Offer and Goals in different campaign structures. The selection will be based on the combination which will work the best for that campaign.
First let us plot the Overall Retention Curve along with Segment wise retention curves.
The Y-Axis is the Retention Percentage and the X-Axis is the time (Month 6, 12, 18, 24, 30)
We can draw the following inferences from the Table and the Graphs
The power users form the most retention-heavy Ideal Customer Profile (ICP) for Rentomojo. This group primarily rents high-value items, achieving the best retention due to several key factors:
The Word-of-Mouth (WOM) and organic acquisition channels have been identified as the most retention-heavy. Users acquired through these channels demonstrate the highest stickiness, likely due to trust from friend or family recommendations and a deeper initial buy-in to Rentomojo’s unique value proposition. In contrast, users acquired through paid social media ads show the highest churn rates, indicating a need to balance acquisition quality and quantity.
Sub-features and sub-products that drive retention effectively are those related to financial security and payment convenience:
To proactively identify at-risk users, we track the following negative actions that signal possible dissatisfaction or an intent to churn:
Negative Action | Reason |
High Cart Abandonment | Complicated KYC process, unclear next steps, or difficulty in understanding pricing and payment plans |
Low NPS or CSAT | Poorly timed survey (e.g., during core flows), long delivery times, subpar delivery experience, unreliable tracking, poor product quality, or improper installation practices |
Number of support tickets increase in last 30 days | Complicated KYC, unsmooth payment plans, lack of clear invoices, logistics issues, poor product quality, difficult-to-find relocation feature, and weak post-delivery support |
Removal of saved payment details | Can indicate voluntary or involuntary reasons, planning to switch services, or dissatisfaction with current service offerings |
Removal of auto-debit mandate from UPI | May indicate a future default risk due to personal reasons, user planning to cancel the service, or missed reminders due to disabled notifications |
Negative review on social platforms | Dissatisfaction with product quality, delivery experience, adherence to timelines, or installation support |
Payment Default or Non Payment of Rent | Personal reasons, missed due to deactivated auto-mandate, ignored reminders due to disabled notifications, or planning to switch services |
Decrease in the number of rented items: Earlier it was 5 now it is 3. | Reduction in quantity of items rented (e.g., from 5 to 3) could suggest service switch plans, product purchases, or personal reasons (both voluntary and involuntary) |
We can draw the following insights from the table:
We will run the following campaigns to address the churn reasons as identified above:
Here is a detailed view of the campaigns.
Resurrection Campaign | Hypothesis | Channel of Distribution | Persona/Type of User | Theme | Target feature | Pitch and Content | Goal of the campaign | Details | Offer | Frequency and Timing | Success Metrics | Milestones for the campaign |

These users have a high potential of becoming a champion and spreading word-of-mouth. | To increase word-of-mouth | Repair/Maintenance Service | ‘Bed creaking? Give us a quick call’ | The users who are targeted already enjoy the core value proposition of the product. There is a lot of potential to drive word-of-mouth and referral in this user base. By giving these users more reasons to love the product we are reducing the probability of churn by improving their experience. | Once the users opt in for repair/maintenance a service professional visits and does on-spot repair work. | If the product is found beyond on-spot repair, it is replaced free of cost. | Starts once the six-month period is completed for a subscription.

This shows they have intent to pay on time but it is not on their immediate attention. | To reduce late payment and payment default rate. | Auto-Debit Service | “Never miss a payment and avoid late payment fees! Opt-in for auto-debit today.” | The goal is to make it easy for the users to pay their rents seamlessly and on time. This derives retention because the users do not have negative feelings of late payment fees or defaulter image attached to the product. | Once the user opts-in they are taken to the adding the auto-debut flow. | If the user opts-in they are given a month's rent off. | Starts two months after the subscription begins.
