Subscription retention
Catch dissatisfaction before the cancellation, not after.
TrueSignal surveys subscribers shortly after each delivery, surfacing satisfaction and reorder intent while there's still time to act.
The problem
Cancellation is usually the first signal a brand gets.
By the time a subscriber cancels, dissatisfaction has usually been building for a while - unused product, a quality issue, a mismatched delivery cadence - with no earlier signal to catch it.
TrueSignal surfaces that signal after every delivery, not just at the moment of churn.
How it works
From delivery to a retention signal
1. Subscription order ships
TrueSignal picks up each shipped subscription delivery and its SKU.
2. Survey sent after delivery
A short survey asks about satisfaction and reorder intent for that delivery.
3. Response linked to the subscriber's SKU
Answers are tracked per product, over time, across deliveries.
4. Trend flagged before churn
A dip in satisfaction or reorder intent is visible in the dashboard.

Common questions
Subscription retention, answered
What is subscription retention?
Subscription retention is the practice of keeping subscribers active over time, typically measured through churn and cancellation rates. TrueSignal adds a leading-indicator layer - satisfaction and reorder intent, captured after each delivery.
How does post-purchase feedback help subscription retention?
Asking a subscriber directly, shortly after each delivery, surfaces dissatisfaction while there is still time to act - rather than finding out only once a cancellation has already happened.
How is this different from churn analysis?
Churn analysis explains cancellations after the fact. TrueSignal captures the leading signal - satisfaction and reorder intent - before a cancellation occurs.
Can consumption velocity data improve subscription cadence?
Yes. If a product is being used faster or slower than the delivery schedule assumes, that mismatch is itself a churn risk - tuning cadence to real usage reduces it.
