Your Existing Stockists.

Reactivate Reorders

Did you know it costs 7x more to acquire a new customer than it does to retain an existing one? It's true! Your next order is most likely going to come from your existing list of stockists, not from cold outreach to someone new.

You've done the hard work of landing wholesale accounts, which is not easy. But from your quiz responses, it sounds like those accounts could use a little TLC. Let's give them a few good reasons to reorder.

You're already selling to multiple stores, but reorders are inconsistent and some of your best customers have gone quiet. You might be spending time trying to attract new accounts, when your warmest leads are on your current stockist list. Reactivating existing accounts is faster, cheaper, and easier than landing new ones. It's also where your sales systems really start to matter.

Your Superpower You're not new to selling, which is an advantage. Now it's about building a sales system that brings in consistent, predictable reorders.
Your Opportunity Existing customers buy more frequently and at higher average order values than new ones. Working this list is one of the highest-ROI activities in your business right now.
Your Edge You have data. You know who ordered, when, and what. That information is super powerful — and most brands aren't using it strategically.

Pull your list of current stockists and identify every store that hasn't ordered in 90 days or more. Reach out to them this week.

Not with a discount. Not with an apology for being out of touch. With something worth their attention: a new product, a seasonal best-seller, a reminder that everything is in stock and ready to ship.

A simple re-engagement email: reference the relationship warmly, share what's new or what's selling well for your current stockists, and make it easy to reorder — direct link, clear next step, no friction. Short, personal, specific.

Stores aren't reordering because they don't like you. They're busy, and they need a gentle nudge. Be the nudge.
