Are newer customers sticking around?
Build a retention table from your file
Export your orders with a customer ID and an order date. See how many customers return after their first order, cohort by cohort, and whether newer cohorts do better, using the example file or your own.
Three questions this answers
- What share of customers come back after their first order, month by month?
- Are newer cohorts keeping customers better or worse than older ones?
- Which plans or channels bring customers who stay?
