(This is the part that gets the opens.)\n[ your take… ]\n———\nHere is a real one you can run this week 👇\nReformation's IPO filing shows the brand generates 90% of revenue through DTC, has maintained profitability for years, and achieved 20 consecutive quarters of double-digit revenue growth, per Retail Dive.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): do not chase retail acceleration as a growth lever. Instead, measure yourself against your own repeat rate and unit economics per cohort. Reformation's 20-quarter run was built on retention math, not store count. Track repeat customer value month-on-month, not store doors. If your repeat rate rises 3% and your cohort LTV grows, you've won — even if revenue looks flat on headlines. The move: audit your own DTC cohorts for repeat rate. Pick your highest-LTV cohort and reverse-engineer why they bought twice. Then message to lookalike audiences in that cohort's first 90 days, before they leave.\nWhat that means for you: Everyone talks about omnichannel like it's the answer. Reformation just printed 20 straight quarters of growth on one channel. The real move is not spreading yourself thin across retail doors — it's knowing your repeat math so well that you can predict and improve it. Most brands measure success by new customer count. Reformation measures it by cohort retention. That's the edge.\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 — Retail Dive: https://www.retaildive.com/news/reformation-ipo-profitable-dtc-model-possible/823857/.)\n———\nOr — want it built FOR you?
