LiftSignals scores every lapsed customer by their win-back potential — so you invest your reactivation budget in the customers most likely to return, and stop wasting it on the ones who are gone for good.
1,847 lapsed customers scored · Top tier: 312 customers · Projected win-back value: $94,200
THE PROBLEM
Every few months, most e-commerce brands export their lapsed customer list and blast a win-back email to all of them. Sometimes with a discount. Sometimes with a 'we miss you' message. Almost always to everyone equally.
A customer who was a Champion for two years and lapsed six weeks ago is not the same as one who bought once three years ago. Treating them the same wastes budget on the unwinnable and under-invests in the customers who are genuinely ready to return.

$214 per reactivation
When you blast a win-back campaign to your entire lapsed list, the average cost per successfully reactivated customer climbs to $214 — because most of the list was never coming back. Targeting only high-score customers drops that cost to $31.
↓ 18pts sender score
Sending reactivation emails to truly dormant addresses generates spam complaints and hard bounces that damage your sender reputation. The unwinnable customers are actively making it harder to reach those who would come back.
71% churn again
Customers reactivated with deep discounts who had a low win-back score have a 71% rate of churning again within 90 days. You spent the budget, gave up the margin, counted the win — and they're gone again before the quarter ends.
THE SOLUTION
LiftSignals calculates a Reactivation Score (0–100) for every lapsed customer based on their historical value, recency of lapse, engagement signals, and behavioral patterns. Focus your win-back budget on the top tier and suppress the rest.
What were they worth before lapsing?
Former Champions score 40pts higher baseline than one-time buyers
How recently did they lapse?
47 days lapsed → still in recoverable window · 310 days → likely gone
Are they still opening emails?
Still opening 1 in 5 emails → engagement signal intact → score boost +15pts
Why did they likely lapse?
Seasonal lapse pattern → high win-back probability when season returns
CLV(High) + Recency(47d) + Engagement(opens) + Pattern(seasonal) = 🟢 Score: 91 · Priority Win-Back
REACTIVATION INTELLIGENCE
LiftSignals groups lapsed customers into four reactivation tiers — from Priority down to Archive. Each tier has a specific investment level, channel strategy, and expected win-back rate.
Priority
Score: 75–100Former high-CLV · Recently lapsed · Email active
Investment: High
Personalized 3-touch sequence. Meaningful offer. Immediate outreach.
Standard
Score: 50–74Mid-CLV · Moderate lapse · Some engagement
Investment: Medium
2-touch email sequence. Modest incentive if no response after touch 1.
Low Priority
Score: 25–49Low CLV · Long lapse · Minimal engagement
Investment: Minimal
Single email. No discount. Include in sale events only.
Archive
Score: 0–24One-time buyers · 12+ months lapsed · Zero engagement
Investment: None
Suppress from all campaigns. Remove from active list. Protect deliverability.
WIN-BACK BUDGET ALLOCATION BY TIER
Scoring-based allocation vs. untargeted blast: 6.9× better cost per reactivation
HOW IT WORKS
LiftSignals continuously monitors purchase activity and flags customers the moment they cross the lapse threshold for their historical purchase cycle. No manual exports — every lapse event is captured automatically.
Each lapsed customer receives a Reactivation Score based on historical CLV, time since lapse, post-lapse engagement, and behavioral patterns. Scores are recalculated weekly as new signals arrive.
Your scored and tiered win-back list syncs to Klaviyo, Meta, or your CRM. Priority tier flows into your high-touch sequence automatically. Archive tier is suppressed. You act on the right customers the same day.
Scores recalculate weekly. A lapsed customer who opens an email after 90 days of silence moves up a tier automatically — catching re-engagement signals before they decay.
