 Backfire Skateboards – Scaling Retention Revenue with Smart Automation

How we helped Backfire Skateboards increase retention revenue by 83% in just 5 months.

The Story

Backfire Skateboards was great at acquiring new customers, but they weren’t maximizing revenue from existing buyers. Their post-purchase strategy was underdeveloped, and they had no lifecycle automation to nurture repeat purchases.

By setting up advanced customer segmentation, lifecycle email automation, and retention-optimized sales funnels, we helped them grow retention revenue by 83% in just 5 months.

The Challenges

Backfire had a high volume of first-time buyers, but their existing email strategy wasn’t designed to keep customers engaged long-term. Their emails weren’t personalized, and they weren’t leveraging upsells or cross-sells.

No lifecycle automation – No structure to guide customers through repeat purchases.

Limited customer segmentation – Messaging wasn’t tailored to customer behavior.

Missed upsell & cross-sell opportunities – Leaving revenue on the table.

 

Our Approach

We created a personalized retention system that encouraged repeat purchases and increased customer loyalty.

  • Built lifecycle automation – Targeted email flows for post-purchase engagement.
  • Segmented customers for better targeting – Personalized content based on purchase behavior.
  • Optimized sales funnels for retention – Introduced upsells, cross-sells, and loyalty campaigns.
