Customer acquisition is dependent on both organic growth and the effectiveness of our paid marketing strategy. During fiscal year 2024, we anticipate focusing on increasing customer awareness of the Rent the Runway brand through brand campaigns, live events, and other initiatives. We are also focused on improving the efficiency of our paid marketing through channel diversification, improved creative content, and other optimizations. Our acquisitions are also reliant on new customer promotions. We expect our promotional spending to be below historical averages in the near to medium term, which is anticipated to reduce subscriber acquisition in the near-term, but support the health of the business over the longer-term. Our promotional strategy is subject to change depending on business and market conditions.

We believe customer retention plays an important role in driving business growth. Customer retention is influenced by a number of factors, including rental product in-stock levels and satisfaction, product experience, and customer service levels.

We currently expect to continue to improve depths and maintain in-stock levels in fiscal year 2024. We are also focused on new product features as well as more personal customer service and styling. As a result of these initiatives, we have seen better customer retention in recent quarters.

We experience seasonality in our business, which has been impacted and may in the future change due to the effects of COVID-19, the macro environment, and business decisions. For our Subscription rentals, we typically acquire the highest number of subscribers in March through May and September through November, as these are the times customers naturally think about changing over their wardrobes. We generally see a higher rate of subscribers pause in the summer, and in mid-December through the end of January. In the third and fourth fiscal quarters, our Reserve business historically (prior to COVID-19) benefited from increased wedding and holiday events but this seasonality has varied since the onset of COVID-19. In fiscal year 2022, we believe that a price increase of our Subscription programs in April 2022 affected traditional seasonal patterns. In fiscal year 2023, changes in rental product in-stock levels and changes to promotional prices also disrupted typical seasonality. Given continued business changes, our future seasonality may not resemble historical trends.
