Hi, I'm Rahi

And yes, I can help you grow your ecommerce store profitably. But we just met, you don't need to trust me right away.

I started my ecommerce marketplace, IndiaRush back in 2011. 

I was lucky enough to learn everything along the way and grow it to a $10M+ yearly revenue. 

But we were spending like crazy on Facebook.

To generate $10M, we were spending close to $1.5M each year on paid advertising.

Eventually, costs kept on rising, and we had to close down.

The biggest learning? 

Instead of focusing on acquisition, we should have focused on keeping customers and getting them to buy again. 

That's why I started RetainUp in 2020. 

My goal was simple: help ecommerce brands make more money without spending more on ads.

So they can scale profitably.

Now, we've helped over 50 brands worldwide and generated over $34.6 million in revenue for them with email.

But it's more than just an email.

We help them increase average order value, customer lifetime value, and retention rate.

After 15+ years of experience in ecommerce, I have developed my own PCC (Product, Customer, and Communication) framework to help brands.

I'm here to help ecommerce brands grow profitably.

Rahi Jain

We sent 4 campaigns in a day to the same person.
Still unsubscribe rate under 0.2%.

Yes, it surprised me too.

Last week on Singles’ Day (11.11):
Launching soon in the evening before.
Live at midnight.
Reminder to non-openers in morning.
Reminder at afternoon.
Last call in the evening.

All inside 24 hours.

Still no meaningful churn.
Open rates above 60-70%.
All emails generated revenue.

This was a premium apparel brand with a 50k+ list,
not a discount-heavy brand.

What made it work?

Each email had a different job.
Each went to a different segment.
Each added new information.
And the offer was actually worth opening for.

Not once did the audience punish the brand.

I’m not saying every brand should blast 4 campaigns a 24 hours.
Most shouldn’t.

And without deliverability hygiene and proper segmentation,
you will burn the list.

But during a major sale, once or twice a year
customers are far more forgiving than marketers assume.

The real risk isn’t "sending too much."
It’s sending something they don’t care about.

Not enough repeat? I help CPG brands scale profitably with 70%+ repeat customers

People hate losing.
Especially things they have earned.

That single bias drives more retention than most brands realize.

But here's what most miss:

The strongest loss aversion isn't about what you give customers. 
It's about what they earn.

Handed value = easy to walk away from
A welcome discount. 
A free trial. 
A promotional upgrade.
None of it hurts to lose.

Earned value = painful to abandon
Gold tier status. 
Unlocked rewards.
Earned points.
Usage streaks.

That’s what creates true lock-in.

The best brands already know this

Sephora makes you spend to reach Rouge, not subscribe to it.
Oura personalises insights based on your data, not generic tips.
Starbucks protects your stars because you earned them.

People stay to avoid losing what they built.

So how do you use it?

1. Progress > Perks
Don’t say “20% off subscription”
Say “You’ve saved £247 this year by subscribing”

2. Habit > Usage
“You’ve brewed 42 cups this month,”
“You’re on day 6 of your routine.”

3. Identity > Incentives
“Premium member” is a feature.
“Top 5% of customers” is identity.

4. Continuity > Coupons
Points don’t expire.
Status doesn’t drop overnight.
Price stays locked for loyal subscribers.

Most brands underuse loss aversion.
Worse, they create losses around things customers never earned.
