The value of historic data

Last year I started to take photos of specific areas of the garden every month. I've been saving them up and finally yesterday, I put them all together into a photo album website. I can now look at where things stood at a specific time (e.g. how was last August?)...

Measuring loyalty by how often customers order

Ordering frequency is another predictor of customer loyalty. RFM measures this with the middle component, Frequency. That means customers with a score of 4 or 5 there are more likely to be loyal but there's another method I also include in Repeat Customer Insights. First, find out your Average Orders...

Link multiple Repeat Customer Insights accounts for quick sign-ins

A number of Shopify stores using Repeat Customer Insights have multiple stores. From Shopify Plus stores using country-specific stores to serial-entrepreneurs (and parallel-entrepreneurs) running multiple stores at once, lots of merchants are constantly switching between accounts. (Even Shopify had to recently update their admin interface to make account-switching easier) With...

Getting a look at your loyal customers

There's no single loyalty metric so you're forced to figure out which works best for your store. For the longest time Repeat Customer Insights has used RFM to measure loyalty, but even within RFM there are different metrics. Raw Frequency? 2-D intersections? 3-D intersections? Modified Frequency? Tripwires? Custom grading algorithm?...

A backup for the backups

Last week I went to upgrade my computer's backup system when I noticed a problem. The disk my backups were stored on was showing errors and signs of corruption. Long story short, that disk is going bad after a little over one year of use. It has a five year...

A barrelful of new articles on repeat customers

One competitive advantage I have with Repeat Customer Insights is how much educational articles I create. Some competitors struggle to get one article out each month while I have 20+ articles published each month (And I'm seeing that I should be creating even more). While customers get the most value...
