While many ecommerce stores are focused on new customer acquisition, taking the time to focus on customer retention is a straightforward way to increase your revenue and scale your business. Win-back emails, also known as re-engagement emails, are sent to customers who made a purchase (usually 3, 6, or 12 months ago) but not since. They’re a targeted way to reach and re-activate dormant customers.

Target recently announced that it would raise its minimum wage to $11 per hour across the board — including for seasonal employees being hired for holiday 2017 — as the first step toward offering $15 per hour by 2020. The move may simply be a sign that a tightening labor market is finally putting upward pressure on wages, or it could signal Target’s recognition of the role front-line employees play in creating a positive customer experience.
