For ecommerce brands that want more first-time buyers to become returning customers.

First purchase verified in the customer journey.

The challenge

Winning the first order is only the beginning.

Ecommerce brands spend heavily acquiring customers, but many first-time buyers never make a second purchase.

Email, paid retargeting and blanket discounting can help, but they also create waste. Messages go unopened, advertising reaches people who were never likely to return, and generic discounts can sacrifice margin without changing behavior.

The advantage you already have is knowing who genuinely bought.

The solution

Know who bought once. Give them a better reason to buy again.

BeeLiked connects a verified purchase to your game or interactive experience. That experience can reward the customer, reinforce you and introduce the product, offer or message most likely to influence their next purchase.

The customer completes and pays for the qualifying order first. The reward experience follows the purchase. It does not reduce the value of the transaction they have just completed.

Once a customer is known to have purchased, they can also be reached again with a timely experience that highlights:

  • A relevant product or range
  • A complementary purchase
  • A private returning-customer offer
  • A limited-time deal on your website
  • An offer available to unlock in the RunnyHoney store

The objective is simple: turn a completed first purchase into a better opportunity for a second.

The business keeps the full value of the transaction. The reward comes afterward.

Two ways to create the return journey

The delivery model can reflect how you want to work with BeeLiked.

A customer playing a branded RunnyHoney Rewards game and receiving HoneyCoins

1. Reward customers through RunnyHoney

A qualifying purchase can unlock your game that awards HoneyCoins.

The result messaging can reinforce your brand, introduce other products and draw attention to a relevant offer available in the RunnyHoney store.

Because RunnyHoney knows that the shopper has previously purchased from you, it can also present a timely game experience or relevant return offer later. The experience can link directly to the relevant product or offer on your website.

2. Run a promotion in your own BeeLiked account

Retailers that want greater ownership can run the experience through their own BeeLiked account and channel.

They decide how the game rewards customers, including instant wins, sweepstakes, prizes or offers intended specifically for returning customers.

They can also create their own virtual currency, allow customers to accrue it and make selected offers or giveaways available through their own RunnyHoney store.

In both cases, the principle is the same: the verified first purchase becomes the starting signal for a relevant return journey.

How it works

1. Identify the qualifying purchase
2. Choose the next behavior
3. Create the experience
4. Make the next purchase relevant
5. Reach the customer again
6. Measure the return

1. Identify the qualifying purchase

You define the purchase, product or order criteria that identify the customers you want to bring back.

Next customer behavior selected for a repeat-purchase campaign

2. Choose the next behavior

Decide what the customer should do next, such as buy again within a set period, try a complementary product or return for a private offer.

3. Create the experience

BeeLiked creates your game or interactive reward experience that follows the qualifying purchase.

Relevant product or return offer highlighted in the customer journey

4. Make the next purchase relevant

Use the experience and its result messaging to highlight the product, information or offer most likely to encourage a return.

Timely message or offer inviting a verified customer to return

5. Reach the customer again

Where appropriate, a timely game, message or offer can be presented later and deep-linked to the relevant page on your store.

Repeat purchase measured in the ecommerce platform

6. Measure the return

You use your ecommerce platform and any unique offer codes to see whether those customers returned and purchased again.

01

How results are measured

Your ecommerce platform remains the source of truth for commercial performance.

Depending on the campaign, you can assess:

  • Second-purchase rate
  • Time between first and second orders
  • Revenue from returning customers
  • Sales of the promoted product or range
  • Use of unique returning-customer codes
  • Performance of rewarded customers compared with an appropriate benchmark or control group

BeeLiked records participation in the reward experience. Your ecommerce system shows whether that activity translated into another order.

02

Why this is more than a follow-up email

A normal follow-up message asks the customer to pay attention.

A BeeLiked experience gives them a reason to.

The customer is recognized because they completed a real purchase. The game creates a rewarding moment, while the messaging and offer can be shaped around what you want them to do next.

This does not replace email, CRM or paid retargeting. It gives those channels a stronger, more engaging reason to bring the customer back.

Why BeeLiked

A clear trigger. A rewarding experience. A measurable business test.

FAQ

01

When does the customer receive the game?

The experience follows a completed qualifying purchase. The customer pays for the original order first, then receives the invitation to play.

02

Does the reward discount the first order?

No. The purchase has already been completed. Any later offer is intended to influence a future order.

03

What can the experience promote?

It can highlight another product, a complementary range, useful product information, a private offer or a direct link to a relevant page on your store.

04

Can we target customers who have bought from us before?

Yes. A verified previous purchase provides the signal needed to create a relevant return experience for that shopper.

05

Do customers have to receive HoneyCoins?

Not always. RunnyHoney Rewards experiences award HoneyCoins. Businesses running promotions through their own BeeLiked account can choose their own game format, prizes, offers or virtual currency.

06

Can an offer be limited to returning customers?

Yes. A business running its own promotion can design eligibility and rewards specifically for returning customers.

07

How do we know whether customers purchased again?

You track repeat orders and unique offer-code use through your own ecommerce platform. BeeLiked provides the participation data for the reward experience.

08

Does this guarantee a second purchase?

No. BeeLiked creates a targeted and rewarding reason to return. The commercial result will depend on the timing, message, product and strength of the offer.
