Repeat is when a customer returns and buys again. The first experience decides whether that happens. This guide covers stage 7 of our 12-stage customer journey.
What your customer is thinking at the Repeat stage
“That went well. Is it worth doing again?”
Your goal at this stage
Make coming back easy, and give people a good reason to do it.
What to do
- Deliver what you promised, on time, and say so when it is done.
- Ask for feedback within a week of delivery.
- Send helpful follow-up emails to customers who agreed to hear from you.
- Suggest a sensible next purchase, such as a refill, upgrade or related service.
- Make reordering as quick as you can.
Common mistakes
- Going silent once the payment clears.
- Sending the same offer to everyone.
- Emailing people who never agreed to hear from you.
How to measure it
- Repeat purchase rate.
- Time between first and second order.
- Email open and click rates.
- Revenue from returning customers.
