How store data can help you increase your repeat customers

Taking a data-driven approach to increasing your repeat customer rates is effective as it will offer you a wealth of concrete insights into your performance as well as the behaviors of your existing customers. Here are some of the key ways that store data can help you earn more repeat customers:

Overall performance

You can use your store data to measure your repeat customer rate and compare it to the industry average. If your repeat customer rates fall below the industry average, you will be able to take targeted actions to encourage loyalty.

Trends & opportunities

Analyzing your store’s data will allow you to identify potential weaknesses in your processes or service offerings while identifying emerging trends and opportunities you can leverage to your advantage.

Product personalization

By gaining an insight into the products that your repeat customers purchase more frequently, you can make personalization recommendations that are likely to result in a sale. And, by offering a personal approach to your communications, you will increase customer loyalty (which will result in even more repeat sales).

Campaign messaging

If you use your store data to identify your top customers and what they value most, you can develop targeted campaigns with content, messaging, and offers tailored to their exact needs.

Actionable ways to increase your repeat customer rates

To boost your repeat customer rates, you should use your data to transform insight into action. These are the metrics you should work with:

Average Order Value (AOV)
Repeat customer rate
Repurchase rate

By tracking these essential eCommerce store metrics, you will gain a balanced overview of how your repeat customers are interacting with your site and spending their money. Once you’ve gathered your consumer insights, you can roll out targeted strategies including:

Personalized product recommendations
Tailored content that fits to their current stage in the customer journey
Exclusive deals and discounts to attract them back to your store.
