The challenge
The second purchase is often more important than the first
Customers who buy once may never return. Blanket follow-up discounts can be expensive and poorly timed. Repeat-purchase campaigns work best when they respond to customer lifecycle and expected purchase behavior.

Your questions, answered.
What is a second-purchase campaign?
A campaign that targets customers who have completed exactly one order and have not yet purchased again, with an incentive designed to bring the next order forward.
When should a repeat-purchase incentive be sent?
Around the expected repurchase window for the product. Sending too early can subsidize an order that would have happened anyway; sending too late misses the decision.
Can rewards depend on previous purchase history?
Yes. Eligibility can use order count, order value, purchased categories, refunds and time since the last order.
Can Vouchery support replenishment campaigns?
Yes. Promotions can be triggered a defined number of days after a qualifying purchase and expire within a set window.
Can loyalty points be used instead of discounts?
Yes. A bonus-points reward is often cheaper than a monetary discount and keeps value inside your programme rather than reducing the order price.
How do we know the campaign created incremental orders?
Hold back a control group that receives no monetary incentive and compare second-purchase rate and time to second order between groups.
