Churn is a fascinating thing. When users keep coming back month after month, it helps you grow your business rapidly and it makes you a very happy business owner. But when you’re losing more customers than you’re gaining, it can spell disaster for your business.

Order fulfillment doesn't come into play during the sales process, but it's arguably one of the most important aspects of maintaining loyal customers. Because if an order ships late or you don't communicate well with the customer, they're probably not coming back.

Have you ever noticed the difference in retail sale signs based on the pricing tier? Value and mid-market retailers tend to have giant red signs that take over their windows, websites, and marketing emails. Yet, higher end brands tend to stick with a small white or otherwise inconspicuous sign in the corner of their window or on their site, where you have to search to find it or otherwise know what to look out for. .
