One and done?

Customer retention is critical for the long-term growth of your brand. It is not enough to acquire a customer who makes a single purchase. It is essential to find ways to convince your one-time buyers to become long-term, repeat customers.

Use a list of one-time buyers to identify combinations of products, time windows, and lookalike audiences that can be used as the starting point for campaigns that focus on turning one-time buyers into repeat customers.

Use in segments

To find one-time buyers, start with the One and Done attribute in the Transaction Attributes Extended table, and then set its condition to is true.
