One and (Not) Done: Leveraging Customer Data to Address the One-Time Buyer Problem

Do these sound like good nicknames for many of the new customers you acquire during the holiday season? The unfortunate reality is the vast majority of customers who make a first purchase just never return. By simply patching the problem with a generic welcome series, you’re leaving money on the table.

To help, we wrote a book.
