Brands are dying on social media. They rent communities on other people's platforms - i.e. social media - and are completely dependent on algorithms.Why do I know so? Together with my co-founder Allan, I scaled our DTC menswear brand TBô from 0 to +300,000 customers. We invested into social media, built a strong following there and, in return, the social media platforms gave us ever less organic reach and engagement 💀.In numbers: the average Facebook Page reached less than 2% of its own followers.Put from the other perspective: brands don’t reach 98% of their own following. Unless they pay social media platforms again and again and again, people who actually want to see the content are not reached. We invested into building a solution that plugs into our existing ecommerce tech stack. It should enable us to host our own community directly on our website or on a dedicated, invite-only microsites. The results surprised us: 🚀 Repeat purchase rates tripled🚀 LTV increased by 90%🚀 The average time spent on site increased to >10 minutes🚀 We picked up significantly on SEOWhy?⚡ Owned audience with 100% organic reach instead of 2%⚡ Owned communication channels (push notification, email, SMS, wallet)⚡ Owned primary level social data, allowing for deeper automated segmentation⚡ Gamified webshop giving shoppers reasons to come back all the time⚡ Deep analytics to understand and better serve your subcommunitiesWe started sharing our story at conferences and were asked by other brands whether they could use our tool.That was how Decommerce was born.
