Abstract

In the highly competitive e-commerce environment, customer retention has become a critical determinant of sustainable growth and profitability. This paper proposes a comprehensive optimization model that integrates personalization, loyalty loops, and user segmentation to enhance retention strategies on digital commerce platforms. Grounded in established theories such as Customer Lifetime Value and Relationship Marketing, the model unifies behavior-driven personalization with targeted loyalty incentives and dynamic segmentation to deliver tailored, data-informed engagement. The architecture features interconnected modules that continuously adapt retention tactics based on real-time behavioral insights, enabling precise targeting and efficient resource allocation. Analytical insights demonstrate how purchase frequency, churn signals, and engagement patterns inform the model's dynamic retention actions, while key performance metrics such as repeat purchase rate and Net Promoter Score facilitate ongoing evaluation. By synthesizing personalization, loyalty, and segmentation into a cohesive framework, this study advances retention theory and offers practical guidance for e-commerce managers aiming to build resilient customer bases. Future directions include incorporating advanced machine learning algorithms and real-time feedback mechanisms to refine retention effectiveness further. This model provides a foundational tool for optimizing customer relationships in the evolving digital commerce landscape.
