How CLN Athletics Skyrocketed Their Response Rate Using Lipscore 

September 25, 2025

CLN Athletics has experienced remarkable growth over the last three years, cementing its reputation through a commitment to high-quality, long-lasting clothing. Amid intense market competition, CLN Athletics credits much of its success to its customer-centric approach, reflected in consistently strong reviews and high customer retention rates. “Our product quality is our best marketing,” says Simon, the e-commerce manager. This philosophy has guided every step of their journey, including the decision to partner with Lipscore. 

The Challenge: Response rate at around 5%

Despite CLN Athletics’ product-driven focus, gaining authentic, high-response customer feedback was a key challenge. “We were initially skeptical,” Simon shares. “Our previous system had a response rate around 5%, while Lipscore’s average response rate is approximately 20%.” For a growing company that thrives on genuine customer insights, making the shift to Lipscore was an opportunity to amplify customer voices without compromising the user experience. 

The Solution: Lipscore’s integration

Lipscore provided a streamlined, customer-friendly platform that made collecting reviews intuitive and effective. Transitioning to Lipscore was a straightforward process for CLN Athletics, who were impressed by the ease and support during the switch. Leveraging Lipscore’s capabilities, Simon and his team focused on engaging customers and encouraging reviews. Negative feedback, though rare, was treated as a chance for meaningful dialogue. “Every customer interaction is an opportunity,” Simon emphasizes, “even if it starts as a negative review. We reach out to understand and try to turn it around.” 

The Results: Almost 45% response rate

The results have been transformative for CLN Athletics. Their best-selling product, previously boasting 200 reviews, now holds nearly 1,600 reviews. “It builds incredible trust with new customers,” Simon notes. Furthermore, Lipscore’s platform has empowered the brand to incorporate real-time customer insights into their product development and overall strategy, ensuring their offerings continue to align with customer needs. The growth in genuine feedback has strengthened CLN Athletics’ market position, proving that customer-driven quality isn’t just a philosophy—it’s a winning strategy.
