Understanding the 10% Repurchase Phenomenon

Three Strategic Retention Levers
- Habit-Stacking Your Product: Embed your hardware into daily routines by optimizing ease-of-use and creating “ritual” touchpoints (e.g., morning wake-and-bake vs. weekend social sessions).
- New SKUs & Accessories: From color-drops to premium add-ons, discover how launching micro-collections or complementary tools can spark fresh interest—without a full R&D budget.
- Competitive Pricing Tests: Learn how tiered pricing, bundle discounts, and limited-time promos can shift purchase behavior and elevate your average order value.
Real-World Product Hacks
