This is Offer #3 in our 5 Offers series — and it’s the offer that quietly decides whether your business becomes a scalable brand… or stays stuck buying customers forever.
You’ve nailed the first sale. Maybe you’ve got the second. But unless you’re intentionally architecting repeat purchase behavior, you’re losing margin, losing momentum, and relying way too heavily on Meta and Google to stay alive.
In this episode, Mark and Ian unpack:
- Why the General Retention Offer is the most overlooked money-maker in ecommerce
- The 3 drivers of real retention: Rhythm, Relevance, and Reward
- How brands like Brook Taverner, GSF Car Parts, and AO.com leverage natural buying cycles
- Why “loyalty points” don’t work — and what to use instead
- How to build a retention strategy that compounds LTV without discounting
- The simple offer tweak that instantly boosts retention across the board
📉 Still depending on discount codes and random email blasts? 📈 Want your customers to buy again because they want to, not because you’re begging?
Listen to this and your entire view of retention will change — permanently.
