(This is the part that gets the opens.)\n[ your take… ]\n———\nHere is a real one you can run this week 👇\nPer Modern Retail, DoorDash added Costco and other retailers while rolling out Text DoorDash, a text-based shopping assistant, and Dasher Returns to position itself as a one-stop marketplace.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): text-based search and reorder is faster and easier than app navigation for repeat purchases. DoorDash is building a habit loop where the first order is through the app, but the reorder happens through a text message. Costco members—known for bulk purchases and repeat patterns—are perfect early adopters. Run this: if you sell recurring or bulk products, test a text-based reorder option for existing customers. The friction of opening an app, finding the product, and checking out is higher than texting a keyword or emoji to a business number. Most brands don't track text-reorder conversion, so you'll have a data advantage. Start with your highest-frequency or highest-LTV cohort.\nWhat that means for you: DoorDash is turning shopping into a conversation. That's the right instinct. Costco members are used to buying in bulk, and bulk orders are annoying to place on any platform. Text reorder for a standing order (same 10 items, every 2 weeks) is faster and more natural than any app UX. This is early, but the pattern is clear.\nIf you make, sell, or gift anything with your name on it — this is yours to run. You can do this.\n(Real, not theory — Modern Retail: https://www.modernretail.co/ai-strategies/doordash-adds-new-retailers-texting-shopping-assistant/?utm_campaign=modernretaildis&utm_medium=rss&utm_source=general-rss.)\n———\nOr — want it built FOR you?
