How DailySale Cut Its Unsubscribe Rate by 60% with Last Chance
A high-volume daily-deals retailer sending nearly 192M emails per window turned its unsubscribe page into its most effective retention channel.
At scale, every unsubscribe adds up
DailySale's email program is one of its most profitable channels — but at its volume, churn is expensive.
In the months before switching to Last Chance, DailySale's emails generated 72,160 unsubscribes across 191,783,377 sends — a 0.04% unsubscribe rate. That fraction of a percent still means tens of thousands of subscribers leaving, each one a future order lost and acquisition spend walking out the door.
The default Klaviyo unsubscribe flow offered departing subscribers exactly one path: confirm, and leave for good. There was no chance to understand why they were leaving, and no opportunity to offer an alternative.
Turn the exit into a choice
On May 1, 2026, DailySale pointed its Klaviyo unsubscribe link at a branded Last Chance page that offers real alternatives before a subscriber fully opts out.
Pause instead of leave
Take a set break from emails and resume automatically — no need to opt out entirely.
Reduce frequency
Hear from DailySale less often rather than never again.
Choose topics
Only receive the categories each subscriber actually cares about.
Stay with an offer
A targeted incentive gives on-the-fence subscribers a reason to stick around.
Share a reason
Capture why subscribers leave, turning churn into actionable feedback.
An immediate, dramatic drop in churn
Within the first month of going live, the impact on DailySale's unsubscribe rate was unmistakable.

On the page itself, 0.0% of visitors chose to stay rather than complete their unsubscribe — that's 0 subscribers saved in a single month who would otherwise have churned.
What departing subscribers actually chose
The page turned a one-click exit into a moment of engagement, driving thousands of retention-positive actions in the first month.
Why subscribers were leaving
From 1,723 subscribers who shared a reason
- Too many emails43% · 747
- I never signed up34% · 583
- Emails not relevant to me12% · 201
- Other10% · 167
- I prefer other channels1% · 13
- Content quality issues1% · 12
The top reason — “too many emails” (43%)— is exactly what the pause and frequency options solve. The 34% who “never signed up” is a powerful list-hygiene signal.
Recovered revenue is already accruing
Last Chance attributes orders placed within 90 days of a subscriber visiting the page. In month one alone — with the attribution window still maturing — DailySale recovered $2,331.89.
Chose to stay
2 users who actively chose to stay and placed orders
Left without unsubscribing
7 users who didn't complete unsubscribe and placed orders
Purchased before leaving
6 users who purchased before unsubscribing
Because attribution accrues over a full 90 days, this reflects only the earliest orders from a single month of traffic — recovered revenue compounds as saved subscribers keep buying.
The bigger story: acquisition spend preserved
Replacing a lost subscriber means paying to acquire a new one. At DailySale's $30 customer acquisition cost, retaining 2,913 subscribers in a single month preserved an estimated
in acquisition spend — every month the page stays live. (CAC confirmed by DailySale.)
