That first order isnโt just a transactionโitโs the start of a relationship. And if you want that relationship to last, you need to nail the onboarding experience.
When a new customer places their first order, make it smooth, positive, and helpful at all costs. Why? Because customers who have a great first experience are far more likely to order againโand more often.
Hereโs how to create a great first impression:
โ Say thank you โ A simple, personal message goes a long way. Donโt leave them wondering if they matter.
โ Offer guidance โ Let them know whatโs working well for other similar businesses. Help them avoid mistakes and find the bestsellers faster.
โ Make reordering easy โ Send a quick โhow toโ on navigating your website, finding past orders, and setting up recurring purchases.
โ Check in โ A quick follow-up a few days after delivery shows that you care about the experienceโnot just the sale.
Your goal is to create an instant bond, making them feel theyโve made the right decision.
๐ If you only optimise one part of your sales processโmake it the first order.
