Create a Strong and Instant Bond with Your New Customer

That first order isn’t just a transaction—it’s 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 again—and more often.

Here’s how to create a great first impression:

Say thank you – A simple, personal message goes a long way. Don’t leave them wondering if they matter.

Offer guidance – Let them know what’s working well for other similar businesses. Help them avoid mistakes and find the bestsellers faster.

Make reordering easy – Send a quick “how to” on navigating your website, finding past orders, and setting up recurring purchases.

Check in – A quick follow-up a few days after delivery shows that you care about the experience—not just the sale.

Your goal is to create an instant bond, making them feel they’ve made the right decision.

If you only optimise one part of your sales process—make it the first order.
