Sweepstakes conversion · Anonymised operator case

Remove the friction before purchase two.

A sweepstakes brand had strong first purchases but poor repeat purchase behaviour. Reviewing customer support themes exposed a redemption step that needed clearer explanation.

2.4× Reported second-purchase rate

The challenge

What needed to change

The operator could convert a new customer once, but many did not complete a subsequent purchase. The customer journey offered no immediate explanation of why the second transaction was failing.

The approach

How this result was achieved

  1. Start with the support record

    Reviewed six months of support requests and grouped recurring topics instead of assuming the issue was acquisition quality or promotion frequency.

  2. Identify the confusing step

    The repeated themes pointed toward the redemption experience. The customer-facing explanation and expected next actions needed to be made clearer.

  3. Rewrite the journey

    Simplified the language around redemption and the path customers follow after the first purchase, with the goal of making the next step understandable.

  4. Judge success by repeat behaviour

    Focused the reported outcome on the second-purchase rate rather than first-purchase volume or email interactions.

The reported outcome

The case reports a 2.4 times second-purchase rate following the programme. This is a reported association in an anonymised engagement, not proof that one rewritten step independently caused all of the increase.

Different operator, similar challenge? The approach depends on your funnel, data and constraints.
