Kurt Elster on Why Shopify Retention Still Comes Down to Staying Top of Mind

Kurt's starting point is always the same: figure out whether retention is actually a problem before you touch a loyalty program, an email flow, or anything else. His go-to metric is Shopify Analytics' Return Customer Rate, and he was specific about what good looks like, since it varies a lot by category.

Ethercycle's Kurt Elster on Shopify retention benchmarks, loyalty program rules, and how AI tools like Claude Code are reshaping agency work.

[ FAQ ]

FREquently asked
QUESTIONS.

Retention is one of the biggest growth opportunities for Shopify brands. Through this interview series, Flits brings together leading agency experts to share practical insights, real-world experiences, and proven strategies that help merchants grow more efficiently. At the same time, the series helps merchants discover trusted agency partners that specialize in Shopify growth, customer retention, and long-term success.

Participating agencies can showcase their expertise, share their unique perspective, increase visibility within the Shopify ecosystem, and connect with merchants actively seeking growth and retention support.

Instead of browsing profiles, merchants get to learn directly from agency leaders through their ideas, experiences, and strategic approach. This helps create more meaningful connections between merchants and agencies.

Of course. We encourage agencies to share the published interview across their website, social channels, and community networks.

Book a call with GUNJAN via the CTA on the page. Then, we will share a set of questions via email that we will discuss during the interview.
