What it looks like on the ground
A Dhanmondi-based skincare Shopify brand had 90% of monthly revenue from paid + first-time buyers, 8% 60-day repeat, and no loyalty layer. We shipped a bKash-cashback referral programme, 3-tier VIP starting at BDT 8,000 lifetime spend, and win-back flows at 60/90/120 days. Six months later: 60-day repeat moved from 8% to 27%, 38% of monthly orders came from returning customers or referrals, blended CAC dropped 31%, and quarterly gross margin moved from thin to healthy — same paid budget.
