How does a homeware and furniture store in Kuwait get repeat customers?
By reaching the customer at the moment the first purchase runs out, through a channel that does not charge per message. Almost every store has the timing data and spends the reach budget anyway.
The mechanics of a second order
Work out the median gap between first and second order. Whatever that number is, the reminder belongs slightly before it — after it, the customer has already solved the problem somewhere else.
Winning a customer costs money and selling to them again costs almost nothing, and most budgets are spent as though the reverse were true. For a homeware and furniture store in Kuwait, the answer turns on one thing in particular: Large items, expensive delivery, and a decision made over weeks with other people involved.
