Struggling with customer retention? Here’s a tactic that doubled our repeat sales

I run a small e-commerce shop and noticed our retention rates were tanking. After testing 5 strategies, one stood out: personalized post-purchase emails. Instead of generic 'Thanks for your order!' notes, we started sending tailored recommendations based on their purchase (e.g., 'Love that coffee maker? Try our Ethiopian blend next'). We included a 10% off code and saw a 112% increase in repeat buys within 3 months.

For those curious, I documented our exact email templates and A/B test results here. Would love to hear what’s worked for others!
