Tier 2 cities have lesser retention rate. There are 2 possible reasons for the same
β
Customer mix - The customers of Tier 2 cities do not travel frequently to International destinations, but Ahmedabad has better retention rate in Tier 2 cities. Ahmedabad has the best retention rates compared to other Tier 2 airports. The hypothesis for this could be that Ahmedabad is a dry state
Inventory availability
Tier 2 cities have very less inventory which makes customers less interested in the purchase of duty free products when they travel international destinations and tend to buy to bring dutyfree products from foreign countries
Are there acquisition sources/elements that we should cut out or double down on? | ||
Segment | Retention rate at M18 | |
Direct | 20% | |
Content | 18% | |
Facebook Ads | 12% | |
SEO | 14% | |
Youtube Ads | 13% |
While direct is expected to have better retention rates need to check why facebook ads have lowest retention

β
Pricing Issue - Customer purchased at certain price on the platform, but it was available at better prie on the foreign destinations
β
Inventory Issue - Customer placed the order on the platform but when customer reached the airport the inventory was out of stock
β
Experience Issue - When customer reached airport for collection, there is a lot of queue at the airport for collecting the product and also the product was not packed and ready for the customer
β
Did not have enough payment instruments - customer is a regular shopper of premium dutyfree brands. The customer got bored of the premium brand and wanted to upgrade to ultra luxury products. But he was not presented with good EMI/No cost EMI options
β
Forgot about the Duty Free while travelling - While travelling I did not get the idea that I could browse and make preorder before reaching the airport. When customer reached the airport , he saw long queues and ignored buying from Duty Free
β
Does not have the time to purchase Duty Free - During the busy schedule with the clients
β
β
Does not have International travel - Customer has not travelled for International Destination as the customers as there was no need for the same
β
No Shopping need - While the customer was travelling for the international destination, the customer stopped consuming Duty Free products
