Retention

Find out where customers are disappearing after first purchase

A diagnostic of your post-purchase flows, retention triggers, and the specific points where acquired customers stop coming back.

What this audit covers

We map the customer journey from first purchase onward. Where are follow-ups happening? Where are they missing? What is the gap between acquisition cost and lifetime value?

Who this is for

Brands with repeat purchase rates below 30% or rising acquisition costs without matching lifetime value growth.

Common questions

What repeat purchase rate should we be aiming for?

This varies by category, but most beauty brands should target 25-35% within 90 days. If you are below 20%, there is significant room for system-driven improvement.
