Involuntary churn
Reasons for involuntary churn:
Involuntary churn occurs, when a subscription or membership gets
cancelled because of a technical or other mistake that the customer
is not aware of. In that case, the customer did not actively churn. This
usually can be easily prevented or at least reduced with transparent
communication and other measures.
A saved credit card has been updated and no longer works
The customer made an error when typing in their payment info
A payment has failed
The customer has overlooked a mail or letter that expected an
action (e.g. a signature for a contract change, etc.)
Voluntary or involuntary - our tips will give you
plenty of ideas how to reduce both churn reasons
across different touchpoints of the customer journey.
