Why Customer Loyalty Matters More Than Traffic
In the world of e-commerce, it’s easy to focus on traffic, ads, ROAS, and finding endless new customers. But after 22 years running an online store, I’ve learned something far more powerful:
The real growth engine isn’t acquisition — it’s retention.
A repeat customer costs nothing to reacquire, buys more often, converts higher, and develops trust that no ad campaign can replicate. Yet most e-commerce businesses overlook the small human touches that transform a new buyer into a lifelong fan.
In my newest Medium article, I break down the 12 actions that create loyalty for life, including:
- How packaging and unboxing create an emotional first impression
- The power of unexpected bonuses
- Human, memorable communication that big retailers can’t match
- Handling mistakes in a way that increases loyalty
- Building rituals, insider access, and community
- Creating a brand story people want to come back to
