5
Start with your most pressing need
if you’re uncertain—you can expand to additional use cases over time
Improve new customer acquisition
This goal centers on growing your customer base by reaching high-probability new customers. By processing your behavioral data through Innkeepr’s causal engine, you generate audience signals that identify users most likely to deliver incremental acquisition lift—enabling platform algorithms to find similar high-value prospects. Key considerations:- Need to lower customer acquisition costs?
- Want to expand reach into new high-value segments?
- Looking to drive app installations or signups?
- Trying to reduce cart abandonment among new users?
Suppress spend on unlikely converters
This goal improves efficiency by excluding users with low predicted conversion probability before budget is spent. Exclusion signals reduce wasted impressions, focus spend on high-quality traffic, and lower CAC by refining early-funnel targeting. Key considerations:- Seeing high click volume but low conversion rates?
- Want to avoid paying for low-intent traffic?
- Looking to improve CAC through better audience filtering?
Boost retention, upsell, and cross-sell
This goal maximizes value from existing customers by optimizing signals for repeat purchase, product expansion, and long-term engagement. Signals generated for this objective help platforms identify which customers are most likely to respond to retention or expansion offers. Key considerations for this goal:- Want to increase purchase frequency from existing customers?
- Need to prevent churn among high-value segments?
- Looking to personalize upsell or cross-sell targeting?
- Want to find new customers who resemble your best repeat buyers?
