Should I track Black Friday repeat purchase rate?

As an e-commerce manager preparing for Black Friday, I'm wondering about the strategic importance of tracking repeat purchase rates during this high-volume sales period. I want to understand whether customers who buy during Black Friday are likely to become long-term, loyal customers or if they're just one-time deal hunters. What metrics should I be monitoring, and how can I use this data to improve my marketing strategies and customer retention efforts?

How to Track This in Shopify

  1. Export all customer IDs from Black Friday orders
  2. Create a customer segment in Shopify for "bought Nov 29 2024"
  3. At 30, 60, 90 days - filter segment for orders placed after BF
  4. Calculate: (repeat purchasers / total BF buyers) x 100
  5. Compare to your regular cohort repeat rate as baseline
