CASE STUDIES > Intelligent DRIP
Summary
RightSure Insurance Group, a large national insurance agency, carried a long tail of past customers who had let coverage lapse and drifted away to competitors. These dormant clients represented significant unrealized lifetime value, but traditional “blast” win-back emails returned only single-digit re-engagement rates and required substantial on-going campaign management efforts.
APPLICA’s Intelligent Win-Back™ solution reversed that trend in just weeks. APPLICA's AI models mined years of policy, claims, and communication history to carve the dormant client list into precise win-back personas. APPLICA's technology produced persona-tuned email, text, and dynamic landing-page content, while fast-follow triggers automatically reacted to opens, clicks, and quote requests. Continual A/B testing promoted the highest-performing subject lines, offers, and call-to-actions, all with RightSure’s branding.
As a result of implementing APPLICA's Intelligent Win-Back™ solution, lapsed-policy reactivation jumped into the double digits, and average premium per reactivated client climbed sharply. By combining granular segmentation, hyper-relevant messaging, and automation technologies, APPLICA's Intelligent Win-Back™ turned yesterday’s lost customers into today's profitable renewals, without requiring any RightSure additional head-count.

“Applica’s win-back reactivation technology has given birth to an entire new revenue stream and a new profit center, due to its ability to harness client sentiment and purchase preference signals. This is literally a genie in a bottle technology “
— Jeff Arnold, founder
RightSure Insurance Group
The Challenge
Even the most customer-centric agencies lose clients to relocation, rate shopping, or shifting coverage needs. RightSure’s lapsed-policy list had grown to a sizable book, and generic email campaigns delivered disappointing single-digit win-back rates.
RightSure needed a way to systematically re-engage past customers, surface the right offer at the right moment, and do all of this without adding marketing and sales staff.
