Shownotes
You have retailers sitting in your order history who bought from you six months ago and haven't heard from you since. Not because they were unhappy — because nobody followed up. Meanwhile you're on Instagram, tweaking your Faire shop, chasing people who've never bought anything. In this episode I make the case for rebalancing, and I give you three places to start.
In this episode, you'll learn:
- Why a 5% improvement in retention can move revenue 25–95% — and what that looks like with real numbers when you have 100 wholesale accounts
- The difference between acquisition tactics and retention tactics, and why almost everyone's time and money is stacked on one side
- Why retention lives and dies on data, and the one thing to centralize before you buy any software
- What to audit in your customer journey — specifically the post-purchase stretch most brands leave empty
- Why a welcome sequence is the highest-return place to start (4x more opens, up to 320% more revenue than a regular newsletter — and only 57% of product brands send one)
- How I killed a six-month Pinterest contract based on the data, and where that money went instead
"Your next sale probably isn't from a stranger. It's probably someone who has already purchased from you and is waiting to hear from you again."
"The customer journey does not end at checkout."
