We need some

hypothesis!

Assumptions & Hypothesis

Customers are spending less money in month #2 because:

They don’t know we have more productsBecause we don't communicate with them ..enough..Because we don’t offer enough incentivesBecause they don’t perceive value after the first

purchase TAKE TIME TO BREAKDOWN THE

PROBLEM BEFORE YOU GO TESTING SOLUTIONS

Assumptions & Hypothesis

Customers will spend money in month #2 if we:

Send them an email reminder Add notifications functionality in the appIf we call them at the beginning of the monthIf we offer a X% discount coupon
