Membership & Subscription Churn Rescue Built for Specialty Food Stores

{"faqs":[{"answer":"We start with a free review of your member list, segmenting by recency — 30 days, 6 months, 12+ months — and flagging expiring memberships and lapsed subscribers. Then we run a done-for-you churn rescue campaign of calls, texts, and emails in your store's name, with every message approved by you first. Win-back campaigns typically run two to four weeks end-to-end, with replies as soon as the first wave goes out.","question":"How do I win back members who stopped shopping at my specialty food store?"},{"answer":"No special software needed. We work from your list exactly as it is — a CRM, a spreadsheet, or a point-of-sale export. There's nothing to buy or learn, and replies route back into your existing booking and ordering process. Texts and emails are included in your quote rather than billed separately.","question":"Can you work from my grocery POS system or do I need special software?"},{"answer":"Pricing is simple: a one-time Campaign Setup fee based on your list size, quoted at the free list review, plus Outreach Minutes at 9¢ to 21¢ per minute that step down as monthly volume grows. Campaign Management is monthly and folded into the plan — no per-seat or software pricing and no surprise line items.","question":"How much does a churn rescue campaign cost for a small independent grocer?"},{"answer":"Yes — that's the core of how we work. We plan the campaign together, you sign off on every script, offer, and message, and only then does anything go out. Calls are made by our team on your behalf, and texts and emails go out in your business's name, so it always sounds like you.","question":"Do I get to approve the messages sent to my customers?"},{"answer":"Most store owners don't have time to build campaigns, and agencies typically require software, retainers, or per-seat fees. We're done-for-you with no software to buy or learn, real humans making the calls while automation handles scale, and a free list review before any fee so you know exactly what your list can produce. Opt-outs are honored immediately and all calling and texting regulations are followed.","question":"How is this different from running win-back email campaigns myself or hiring a marketing agency?"}],"steps":[{"step":"1","title":"Free List Review","gradient":"from-orange-500 to-red-500","description":"Send us your member or customer list from your POS, CRM, or spreadsheet.

Independent stores can't outspend chains on acquisition — but they can win back the members they already have.
