Statistics for customers' repeat purchase timing

Hi there. What do you mean by “get in the data?” Do you mean access it through dynamic code to use in a flow or email, or simply to check and see what it is for an individual contact?

Here is the Klaviyo guide to their predictive analytics.

If that’s not what you mean, could you explain a little bit more?

Hi David,

Thank you for your message! 

Actually, the idea is that we want to build flows for incentivising second or next purchase.

And firstly, we want to understand what is the average time between two purchases on average for all of our audience. Is it 60, 90 days on average for all of our customers. 

And then, depending on this date, we will create the timeframe for the repeat purchase flow. 

Of course, a good idea would be to build flows that have different time frame for each customers, because on average it can be 60 days for example, but we have customers that already have 2 and more purchases with individual time frames, and they would receive the flow depending on their individual behaviour (how often they use to buy).

I hope I made it more or less clear. :) 

Thank you! 

Yes, that makes perfect sense, but unfortunately, I don’t think you can pull that average information for your entire audience. That would certainly be helpful though. (Or maybe I’m wrong and someone from the Klaviyo team will step in and gives the correct answer.)

The beauty of predictive analytics is that if you set up a flow with that as a trigger, it will trigger for each individual contact based on their individual behavior. So if you have one contact that makes repeat purchases every month, it will trigger the next time they approach a 30 day span without a purchase. Meanwhile, you might have another contact that only purchases once every 6 months, and it will go accordingly.

But, I totally see your point in wanting to have an overall average. Let’s hope Klaviyo has some better insight.

Thank you David!

I agree with you. 

Thank you @dov.derin ! 

Great feedback!

Hello, 

I am currently trying to pull this same data. However, I have noticed in Klaviyo 2.0 there is no longer an “Average Days Between Orders” box for exports. Any reason why they got rid of this?

Thanks! 

Hey @EDuffy,

Including the “Average Days Between Orders” profile property as part of your export is still available:

If you aren’t seeing that option when exporting, chances are this means you don’t have enough data for predictive analytics to be enabled. 

To qualify for predictive analytics you’ll need to meet the following conditions:

• At least 500 customers have placed an order.
  This does not refer to total profiles, but rather the number of people who have actually made an order with your business. If this section is on a profile but is blank, this means we don't have enough data on that individual to make a prediction.
• You have an ecommerce integration (e.g., Shopify, BigCommerce, Magento) or use our API to send placed orders.
• You have at least 180 days of order history and have orders within the last 30 days.
• You have at least some customers who have placed 3 or more orders.
