(This is the part that gets the opens.)\n[ your take… ]\n———\nHere is a real one you can run this week 👇\nGeorge Kapernaros, founder of YOCTO (a retention agency for subscription and DTC brands), published analysis showing that skipped orders represent a higher cost to subscription retailers than outright cancellations, per Retail Insider.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): stop measuring retention as 'customers who did not cancel.' Start measuring it as 'customers who ordered on schedule.' A skip is not a win; it is a warning. When a customer skips for the first time, you have one window (24-72 hours) to interrupt the pattern with a reason to un-skip: a discount on the next order, a product swap, a pause-and-resume option that does not delete them.

Run this week: pull your skip data for the last 90 days and segment by skip frequency; send a re-engagement offer to the first-time-skipper cohort within 48 hours.\nWhat that means for you: stop measuring retention as 'customers who did not cancel.'
