What's the difference between cookie-based and IP-based timers?

I'm trying to understand the technical differences between cookie-based and IP-based timers for discount campaigns. As an e-commerce manager, I want to ensure that my promotional offers are applied correctly and can't be easily circumvented by customers trying to game the system. What are the key distinctions in how these timer tracking methods work, and which approach provides more reliable tracking for preventing multiple offer redemptions?

TL;DR - Quick Answer

Encourage repeat purchases through post-purchase email sequences (order confirmation, delivery, review request, follow-up offer), loyalty programs with points or rewards, personalized recommendations based on purchase history, and time-based win-back campaigns when customers haven't purchased in 60-90 days.

Complete Expert Analysis

How Do I Encourage Repeat Purchases?

Repeat purchases are the foundation of e-commerce profitability - acquiring a new customer costs 5-7x more than retaining an existing one. Building a systematic repeat purchase program through email sequences, loyalty rewards, and personalized recommendations converts one-time buyers into regular customers.

Growth Suite Retention System

Growth Suite's Scheduled Campaigns and Trigger Campaigns enable automated retention sequences. Post-Purchase Upsells capture immediate AOV, Scheduled Campaigns deliver timed offers at 30/60/90-day intervals, and Advanced Behavioral Targeting identifies lapsed customers for win-back campaigns with appropriate offer intensity.

Repeat Purchase Measurement

Track 90-day repeat purchase rate (percentage of first-time buyers who make a second purchase within 90 days) as your primary retention KPI. Segment this metric by acquisition channel - customers acquired through exit-intent, email, and organic search may have very different repeat rates, giving you data to optimize channel-specific retention strategies.
