4. Use automations to engage customers at different points in the buying journey, such as a reminder to purchase a product again after a certain period or when a child reaches a certain age.
5. Use statistics to identify purchasing patterns and create personalized offers to win back customers who are at risk of leaving.
6. Analyze on a category level the triggers for a customer to complete a second purchase and allocate more ad budget to categories that show a tendency to be the ones that most often trigger that second buy.
7. Make sure that the first communication after signup is everything but discounts. Offer (potential) customers an overview of your company and communicate your reason-to-be, STIGA Sports is a good example on how the first email tells the story and offer a brief overview of the product range.
