(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, Reformation reported a 23% rise in active customers in its initial public earnings, demonstrating measurable customer acquisition and retention at scale.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): active customers is not unique visitors or email subscribers—it's buyers who return. Reformation counts only those who transact. To run this: audit your repeat-purchase cohorts by month of first buy, calculate the percentage still ordering 6+ months later, and publish that number. Most DTC brands hide it. Reformation weaponized transparency as proof of product-market fit. Start this week: segment your email list by purchase frequency (1x, 2-3x, 4+x) and measure net retention month-over-month, not just repeat rate. The number compounds.\nWhat that means for you: Most brands chase 'viral' acquisitions and never look at who comes back. Reformation flipped it: they made active customers the headline. That's not marketing—that's admitting the product works. What gets measured gets managed. When you're forced to report it publicly, you build for it. Even if you're private, start reporting it internally like it matters. Repeat buyers are the only proof that your brand is real.\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?oc=5.)\n———\nOr — want it built FOR you?
