Observations from Customer Retention Analysis
- Based on the cohort retention matrix:
- Initial acquisition is strong, especially in early 2020 cohorts.
- However, monthly retention significantly drops after the 1st or
2nd month.
- Long-term retention (after 6 months) is minimal across cohorts.
- Only a few cohorts (e.g., Jan & Feb 2020) maintain some degree
of customer engagement over time.
Interpretation:
- Initial onboarding and customer acquisition are effective.
- Lack of long-term incentives or communication may be causing
customer churn.
- Seasonal trends may also influence retention, especially around
the beginning of the year.
Recommendations for Alt Mobility
1. Improve Customer Retention
- Introduce loyalty programs or subscription models to
encourage reorders.
- Implement automated reminders or re-engagement campaigns
to reduce the 480-day gap between orders.
2. Address Payment Failures

- Promote PayPal as a preferred payment method, especially for
high-value customers.
- Optimize and simplify the payment interface to reduce retries
and drop-offs.
3. Target High-Value Segments

using customers, who likely represent a high lifetime value.
- Analyze these users’ order history to build personalized
upselling or cross-selling strategies.
4. Refine Demand Forecasting

ad campaigns or fleet availability increases during these
periods.
- Prioritize operations and support during Q1 (Jan–Feb) to match
peak demand.

as payment failures, cohort performance, and order volume
spikes.
