This is Offer #3 in our 5 Offers series — and it’s the offer that quietly decides whether your business becomes a scalable brand… or stays stuck buying customers forever.

You’ve nailed the first sale. Maybe you’ve got the second. But unless you’re intentionally architecting repeat purchase behavior, you’re losing margin, losing momentum, and relying way too heavily on Meta and Google to stay alive.

In this episode, Mark and Ian unpack:

• Why the General Retention Offer is the most overlooked money-maker in ecommerce
• The 3 drivers of real retention: Rhythm, Relevance, and Reward
• How brands like Brook Taverner, GSF Car Parts, and AO.com leverage natural buying cycles
• Why “loyalty points” don’t work — and what to use instead
• How to build a retention strategy that compounds LTV without discounting
• The simple offer tweak that instantly boosts retention across the board

📉 Still depending on discount codes and random email blasts? 📈 Want your customers to buy again because they want to, not because you’re begging?

Listen to this and your entire view of retention will change — permanently.

This is Offer #2 in our 5 Offers series – and it's the one that quietly kills most ecommerce growth.

You’ve got the first sale. Great. But if you're not locking in the second sale quickly, you're bleeding profit and your ad model won’t scale.

In this episode, Mark and Ian break down:

• Why the second sale is the linchpin of your LTV
• How long you’ve really got before your customer forgets you exist (hint: it’s weeks, not months)
• Examples from 8- and 9-figure brands like Cox & Cox, Goat Milk Stuff, Grenade, and more
• How to position your second-sale offer so it doesn’t just feel like a discount
• The “earned credit” trick that makes customers want to use their reward before it expires
• How changing this one offer can make your ROAS model work

📉 Still sending out 10% codes without thinking? 📈 Want to unlock more scale without touching your ad accounts?

Then this is the episode.

This episode is the start of a new series: the 5 Offers every ecommerce brand needs to scale properly.

We're kicking off with the most important one — and the one most brands get wrong:

👉 The Recruitment Offer — the thing that gets someone to buy from you for the very first time.

If your offer is just “10% off your first order,” and you’re wondering why your ROAS is falling off a cliff… this is for you.

Inside, we break down:

• Why the job of the recruitment offer isn’t to make profit — it’s to create momentum
• How to structure offers that lift AOV without tanking conversion rate
• Real examples from wine brands, supplement kits, and BOGOFs that crushed it
• Why you should stop giving your customers too many choices
• How to spot when your order value is the real problem (not your ads)

This episode is all about removing friction, getting the sale, and setting up a second one.
