(This is the part that gets the opens.)\n[ your take… ]\n———\nHere is a real one you can run this week 👇\nReformation reported 23% active customer growth in its first public earnings report, per Modern Retail.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): 'active customers' is the metric that matters most; it's harder to fake than revenue. Reformation's 23% growth means the brand is acquiring AND keeping customers at a rate that compounds. The play: measure your active customer count monthly (anyone who ordered in the last 90 days). Then split that cohort by acquisition channel. Which channel's cohort has the highest repeat rate? Buy more traffic from that channel, even if its CPA is higher. Repeat customers are cheaper to acquire over a lifetime than new ones. If 23% of your customer base is new each month, you're leaking revenue.\nWhat that means for you: Public markets care about CAC and LTV. Reformation's 23% active customer growth tells investors the brand knows how to keep people buying. For most DTC brands, this number is catastrophic—they're constantly replacing customers because retention is broken. If you're not tracking active customers by month and retention cohort, you're flying blind.\nIf you make, sell, or gift anything with your name on it — this is yours to run. You can do this.\n(Real, not theory — Modern Retail: https://news.google.com/rss/articles/CBMiswFBVV95cUxPMG5DZ3VMN1E1Z2hTdXNSUFl5LW8yc3kzZ0d1N3ZoRGpJby0yWDQtc1NNYTE4cE1FT2k2R1o5RkJtTndmSmptbFRLU3poWUZzWFZrVWhwQlpaVG1zMW44RDJvMng0T3JMcXgya3gwTVlJUmQ0NUZsN0dlOHU5ZnlNRkF0Ri1lZHdsT1FXX1hNYkU1aEUzcGo2Vjh3WHRhcEdoaUdPVUhYZlFWMi1pN2EwS3hoRQ?oc=5.)\n———\nOr — want it built FOR you?
