Michigan specifics

How Michigan changes ecommerce retention programme.

What we set up differently for a brand whose customers are in Michigan.

  1. CAL

    Retail calendar

    Peaks: the holiday peak, summer lake tourism and the automotive show calendar

    Michigan charges a single state sales tax rate, so campaign offers are priced and tested on the retail peaks rather than a tax angle.

  2. MI

    Where the brands are

    Detroit, Grand Rapids, Ann Arbor, Lansing

    • Detroit Automotive, apparel & retail
    • Grand Rapids Furniture & CPG
    • Ann Arbor Education & tech
    • Lansing Government & manufacturing
  3. ET

    Send windows

    Michigan spans 2 time zones

    Eastern (most of the state) and Central (Gogebic, Iron, Dickinson and Menominee counties in the Upper Peninsula). We schedule sends and SMS quiet hours on the subscriber's own zone, taken from their Shopify address, so a 10am send never lands at 9am or 11am for part of the list.

Who this is for

Signs your Michigan store needs this now.

Three of the patterns we see most in the audit.

All six signs
  1. 01

    Ownership

    Retention is nobody’s job

    The paid team owns acquisition, the founder writes the newsletter when there is time, and the flows were set up by whoever built the store. That is how email ends up at 12% of revenue.

  2. 02

    Catalogue

    Every email shows the same five products

    If your flows do not know what someone bought, browsed or ran out of, they cannot recommend the right thing. Catalogue-aware email is the difference between a newsletter and a store.

  3. 03

    Reorders

    Consumables are not being reordered on time

    Median days between orders exists in your order data, per product. A replenishment flow that ignores it sends too early or too late — both lose the sale.

What is included

Everything the retainer covers, in the order we build it.

Six steps and about six weeks to live: audit, strategy, build, launch, test, report.

How we work
  1. 01

    Audit and 90-day plan

    The account, the flows, the list, the catalogue and the order history — then a ranked plan for the first quarter with the revenue each item is expected to move.

  2. 02

    Catalogue-aware flows

    Welcome, browse, cart, post-purchase, replenishment, win-back and VIP, each pulling products by behaviour: what was viewed, bought, left behind or is about to run out.

  3. 03

    Reorder cycles from real order data

    Replenishment timing set per product from median days between orders, not a guessed 30-day delay. Adjusted as the data moves.

  4. 04

    Merchandising in email

    Best-sellers, new arrivals, low-stock and bundles placed in flows and campaigns by segment, so email sells the catalogue the way the store does.

  5. 05

    Monthly campaign calendar

    Four to eight campaigns a month on a quarterly calendar built around your launches, seasons and peaks — BFCM planned in August, not November.

  6. 06

    Segmentation and offer strategy

    RFM and lifecycle segments from Shopify orders; an offer ladder that protects margin on loyal customers and spends incentives where they change behaviour.

  7. 07

    Testing programme

    Two to four tests a month with written hypotheses and minimum samples; winners rolled into flows, results logged.

  8. 08

    List growth and deliverability

    Capture that holds consent, engagement-based suppression, complaint and placement monitoring — weekly, not when something breaks.

  9. 09

    SMS moments (Tier 2)

    Restock, flash, delivery and win-back texts orchestrated inside the same flows, with consent and quiet-hours rules built in.

  10. 10

    Monthly revenue report and review

    Revenue by flow and campaign, repeat rate by cohort, email and SMS share of revenue, list health, and next month’s calendar — in a 30-minute call with the account open.

Questions

Ecommerce retention programme in Michigan: questions

What time should Michigan brands send marketing emails and texts?

Texts only inside the legal window in the subscriber's local time: 8am to 9pm under the federal rules, or narrower where a state requires it. For email we test send times per segment rather than guess, starting from mid-morning local time. Michigan covers Eastern (most of the state) and Central (Gogebic, Iron, Dickinson and Menominee counties in the Upper Peninsula), so sends are split by zone.

When are Michigan's biggest retail moments?

The holiday peak, summer lake tourism and the automotive show calendar. BFCM runs 27-30 November 2026 everywhere.

How much does ecommerce retention programme cost for a Michigan brand?

Tier 1 is $3,500 a month, for brands doing $500K–$2M a year. Tier 2 is $5,500 a month, for scaling brands at $2M+. Every engagement starts with a free 60-minute audit, and the price is the same in every state.

What is ecommerce retention marketing?

Ecommerce retention marketing is everything a store does to turn first-time buyers into repeat customers and raise their lifetime value: automated email and SMS flows, loyalty and rewards, subscriptions and replenishment, and segmentation built on purchase behaviour. It is measured on repeat purchase rate, purchase frequency and customer lifetime value.

What is a good repeat purchase rate for a Shopify store?

For most Shopify stores, 20% to 30% of customers ordering again within twelve months is typical. Consumables, beauty and pet supplies run well above that; furniture and other one-off purchases run well below. The useful comparison is your own rate quarter on quarter, split by first-order product, which is how we report it.

What is the difference between this and the email service?

Email retention marketing is the channel: flows and campaigns. The ecommerce retention programme is the whole system run as a retainer — catalogue logic, reorder cycles, merchandising, testing, SMS in Tier 2, and the monthly reporting cadence. Most brands who want an outcome rather than a channel choose this.

How long is the commitment?

Month to month after the first 90 days. The first quarter is where the build happens; after that you keep us because the report says so, or you take the system in-house — it is documented for exactly that.
