01
Overview
Nova had grown quickly through a handful of successful campaigns, but its results rose and fell with each new launch.
Merrowind helped Nova understand what was really driving growth and build a repeatable plan around it.
02
The Challenge
Every quarter started from scratch.
Marketing, product, and customer teams were each chasing their own targets, and no one could say with confidence which activities created long-term value and which simply moved sales from one month to the next.
Nova needed growth it could plan for, not just hope for.
03
The Strategy
We analysed two years of customer, channel, and order data to separate lasting growth drivers from short-term spikes.
The analysis focused on:
- Which channels brought customers who returned
- Which products led to repeat purchases
- Where first-time customers dropped away
- How promotions affected long-term value
This gave the team a shared picture of where growth really came from.
04
The Solution
Merrowind delivered:
Growth Model
Connected acquisition, conversion, and retention in one view of the business.
Channel Priorities
Shifted investment toward channels that brought higher-value customers.
Retention Program
Designed the first-year journey for new customers, from first order to third.
Planning Rhythm
Set up a monthly growth review shared by marketing, product, and customer teams.
05
Impact
Nova moved from campaign-by-campaign planning to a growth plan the whole business works from.
Repeat purchases became a central part of the model, making revenue steadier and forecasts more reliable.
06
Key Takeaways
- A good month is not the same as a growth engine.
- Retention often holds more opportunity than acquisition.
- Shared measures help teams pull in the same direction.
