Explore post-purchase engagement strategies like cashback programs to incentivize repeat purchases and increase email/SMS sign-ups, as demonstrated by Postscript Cashback.
For celebrity-led brands, success hinges on the celebrity's genuine enthusiasm and natural inclination for content creation, coupled with a highly competent, behind-the-scenes operational CEO.
