The challenge

Fuzzball, a UK-based cat food subscription brand, built an early site that delighted visitors but made managing subscriptions difficult, with every flavor or frequency change requiring manual work behind the scenes. As the business grew, retention became a major hurdle: churn between the trial and first full box hovered around 70%, a tough but common rate for pet food brands.

The solution

Fuzzball rebuilt its site and upgraded to Recharge Pro, unlocking dynamic bundles, Win Backs, and AI-driven Cancellation Prevention. One-click reactivation pages and automated Win Back flows, plus later adoption of Recharge's Retain suite and cancellation surveys, let the team segment customers by behavior and respond with targeted incentives.

The data from cancellation surveys and AI-suggested remedies let us act strategically. We could finally focus on what would really move the needle.
