The Missed Post-Purchase Moves That Could Double Retention

Winning new customers is expensive. Losing them after the first order is a cost most brands can’t survive.

Shipfusion tested 110 beauty brands and tracked their post-purchase journeys. The results show how even well-known brands are letting growth slip through their fingers:

❌ 75% missed out on higher AOV with no post-purchase offers.

💔 33% of shipments arrived scuffed, and over 10% had damaged items.

🤯 Nearly half used custom boxes, but only 36% branded interiors.

😔 Most failed to create any memorable unboxing or retention triggers.

It’s not about just the Cosmetics; the same mistakes run through supplements, wellness, pet care, and every category.

These breakdowns are where customers decide not to return, and no ad budget can buy them back. Inside the report, you’ll see benchmarks, leader examples, and the exact playbooks to fix it; it’s a teardown you can action immediately.

5 Steps to Explosive Audience Growth

Growing an online audience isn’t just about chasing virality; it’s about creating value, building trust, and showing up consistently. With the right strategy, you can dramatically scale your following while ensuring it’s the right audience for long-term impact.

Steps to Build and Scale Your Audience:

1️⃣ Define Clear Goals:
Before posting, know your “why.” Is it to grow your career, expand influence, or create new opportunities? Clear goals guide your content strategy and help keep your efforts focused.

2️⃣ Pick a Niche and Commit:
Start by sticking to one lane, whether it’s marketing, fitness, or personal development. Consistency builds recognition and authority. Once you’ve built traction, introduce related topics to add depth and relatability.

3️⃣ Apply Direct-Response Writing:
Write with clarity, action, and purpose. Use strong hooks, active voice, and concise messaging that delivers immediate value. Don’t bury insights in fluff. Get to the point quickly and invite engagement.

4️⃣ Build With Integrity:
Avoid the “growth hacks” that sacrifice credibility. Don’t plagiarize, inflate stats, or chase viral content that doesn’t align with your values. Instead, focus on community, collaboration, and sharing insights that genuinely help others.

5️⃣ Value the Unmeasurable:
Numbers like likes and followers matter, but reputation, trust, and affinity are priceless. Go off-platform too, write blogs, join podcasts, or speak at events. These activities fuel credibility and give you richer content to share.

The Takeaway
Audience growth is about consistency, clarity, and integrity, not shortcuts. By setting clear goals, choosing a niche, applying strong writing, and focusing on real value, you can grow a loyal following that supports long-term opportunities and influence.

Use Copilot to Triage and Draft Emails

Want faster inbox zero without losing your personal tone? Microsoft Copilot can analyze recent threads, surface what needs your attention, and draft replies that mirror your style so you spend minutes refining, not hours writing.

Steps to Analyze Email and Draft Replies with Copilot:

1️⃣ Open Copilot in Edge:
Launch Microsoft Edge and click the Copilot ribbon (top right). Sign in with your Microsoft account to enable workspace features.

2️⃣ Connect Outlook Data:
Switch Copilot to “Smart” mode to grant access to your Outlook mail and calendar. If you’re on an enterprise account, your admin may need to approve Microsoft Graph access.

3️⃣ Use a High-Leverage Prompt:
Try: “Summarize my most recent 10 emails with bullet points on what needs replies today, then draft responses in my usual tone.” Copilot will scan threads and produce prioritized action bullets plus reply drafts.

4️⃣ Let Copilot Learn Your Voice:
Copilot reviews thread history to infer your preferences, formality, sign-offs, and how you handle decisions or next steps, then reflects that in suggested replies.

5️⃣ Refine in Seconds:
Nudge the draft with targeted edits: “Make this more formal,” “Add timeline details,” or “Shorten to three sentences.” Approve, personalize as needed, and send.

The Takeaway
Copilot turns your inbox into a guided, prioritized workflow. By summarizing what matters, proposing next steps, and drafting on-brand replies, you’ll retain your voice while moving through email at top speed. Start with Smart mode, a clear triage prompt, and quick refinement commands—you’ll ship thoughtful responses in a fraction of the time.
