(This is the part that gets the opens.)\n[ your take… ]\n———\nHere is a real one you can run this week 👇\nReformation reported a 23% year-over-year increase in active customers in its debut public earnings, per Modern Retail.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): active customer growth at 23% means the funnel is working at scale — each cohort is repeating, not just new buyers arriving. For a product brand going public, this number replaces CAC as the proof. Run a cohort retention dashboard (first 30, 60, 90 days by order count) and publish it quarterly to investors and to your team. The brand that shows repeat rate lift moves faster than one showing acquisition rate lift.\nWhat that means for you: Reformation proved DTC can grow without looking like a paid-media machine. That 23% is not a TikTok number or a press release number — it's boring, audited customer math. Most founders obsess over top-line growth and ignore whether each class of buyers is coming back. Reformation just showed that if your cohorts repeat, the stock market notices. If you're raising or scaling, pull your cohort repeat rate now and watch it monthly.\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://news.google.com/rss/articles/CBMiswFBVV95cUxPMG5DZ3VMN1E1Z2hTdXNSUFl5LW8yc3kzZ0d1N3ZoRGpJby0yWDQtc1NNYTE4cE1FT2k2R1o5RkJtTndmSmptbFRLU3poWUZzWFZrVWhwQlpaVG1zMW44RDJvMng0T3JMcXgya3gwTVlJUmQ0NUZsN0dlOHU5ZnlNRkF0Ri1lZHdsT1FXX1hNYkU1aEUzcGo2Vjh3WHRhcEdoaUdPVUhYZlFWMi1pN2EwS3hoRQ.)\n———\nOr — want it built FOR you?
