Airship has launched a new results guarantee offer to stand behind its value. Alongside this offer, the team shared the results of a new Total Economic Impact™ (TEI) study commissioned with Forrester Consulting illustrating that a composite organization achieved a 476% ROI with a payback period of less than six months.

“We introduced the Airship Results Guarantee to fundamentally shift the industry standard by tying our value directly to our customers' bottom line,” said Brett Caine, CEO of Airship. “Our guarantee is backed by a decade of experience across billions of customer journeys for the world’s leading brands. Our platform empowers product and marketing teams to build and launch cross-channel experiences instantly, without waiting on dev queues or IT resources. Airship powers massive revenue and productivity for our customers—the results speak for themselves.” Caine added, “The newly commissioned Total Economic Impact™ study conducted by Forrester Consulting demonstrates the operational efficiency and business growth the composite organization achieved with Airship.”

The framework of the study was built on in-depth interviews conducted by Forrester Consulting with six enterprise Airship customers (spanning retail, logistics, hospitality, travel, communications, and financial services), aggregated into one composite: a global, multibillion-dollar B2C conglomerate with 10 million total customers.

Three-Year, Risk-Adjusted Financial Impact

Based on the modeled composite organization, the study quantified the results over three years:

476% Return on Investment (ROI)
<6-Month Payback
$7.3M in Total Benefits (Present Value)
$6.0M Net Present Value (NPV) against $1.3M in total costs

Quantified Value Streams and Revenue Growth

The study examined the four primary value streams driving this repeatable growth across the composite organization's 5 million digitally activated users:

Elevated Cross-channel Customer Experience ($2.7M): The largest driver, yielding up to a 14% lift in customer value (about $28 more per digital customer by year 3) from timely, context-aware, personalized journeys and Scenes—powered by conversational AI
Expanded Digital Activation ($2.4M): Added more than 1.8 million additional digital customers as mobile became a primary activation channel through better discovery, downloads, opt-ins, and onboarding
AI-enabled Marketing Effectiveness ($1.7M): Secured an 80% productivity gain from orchestrated, cross-channel journeys, plus up to 35% boost in productivity with no-code, AI-driven native experiences, allowing the composite organization to scale without doubling headcount or waiting on engineering and app-store cycles
Targeted Retention ($470K): Retained more than 314,000 at-risk customers and drove a 7.8% retention lift over three years, through real-time segmentation, context-aware messaging, and controlled cadence to proactively reengage inactive and at‑risk users

Customer Quote from the Study:

“We see higher revenue when we use Airship [AI-enabled CX orchestration] technology [and their] MMS and SMS, with higher customer satisfaction when we provide dynamic messaging. We saw higher take rates for upgraded [services] when we provided proactive, in-the-moment, triggered messaging [on-site and]; higher engagement with our large-scale sale campaigns; and broader awareness of service-related issues when we use targeted messaging [during high-impact moments]. All those metrics make a difference.”
–Director of digital experience, travel

Efficiencies in Scalable Growth

Beyond the quantified metrics, the study highlighted other critical benefits experienced by the interviewed organizations, including:

Avoided Service Costs: timely, in-the-moment alerts and in-app self-service resolved issues earlier and cut call-center and in-person support demand
Faster, More Confident Decisions at Scale: shared real-time journey data replaced fragmented, delayed reporting
More Confident CX Innovation: Airship's strategic guidance and partnership let teams test ideas safely and scale them with governance intact
