Two tests worth running / proposed

What we'd test next.

Recommendations to try, not confirmed strategies. Compare randomly assigned groups within the eligible audience and read the KPI alongside incremental margin.

Test 1

Usage before increasing frequency

Trigger / audience
First order delivered; customer requests usage help
Proposed action
Official product content and access to support before recurring offer
Main KPI
Net second order without complaint
Measurement window
A full purchase/renewal cycle; set duration with historical data before testing

Test 2

Frequency according to remaining product

Trigger / audience
Subscriber declares excess stock
Proposed action
Help adjust or pause within actual terms
Main KPI
Net next renewal without return
Measurement window
A full purchase/renewal cycle; set duration with historical data before testing

Evidence limit

Initial guarantee does not automatically extend to renewals; skin effects are not validated. No product has been purchased and no customer inbox has been observed.
