# Driving Repeat Purchases

The real value of Skin Type PRO is not just the first sale - it’s what happens after.

Skincare is not a one-time purchase.\
It’s a routine that requires consistent use over time.

{% hint style="info" %}
💡 When patients follow their regimen, they will need to reorder products regularly.
{% endhint %}

***

### Why Repeat Purchases Happen

Patients are more likely to reorder when:

* The routine is personalized to their skin type
* They understand how to use the products
* They see visible results
* The purchasing process is simple

***

{% hint style="info" %}
💡 Skin Type PRO is designed to support all of these.
{% endhint %}

***

### The Role of Consistency

Consistency is the key to both:

* Better skin results
* Ongoing product purchases

***

#### What Patients Need to Understand

Skincare works over time - not overnight.

***

#### Example Language

“These products are designed to work together over time.”

“You’ll see the best results when you follow this routine consistently.”

***

{% hint style="info" %}
💡 Setting this expectation increases both compliance and reorders.
{% endhint %}

***

### Make Reordering Easy

The easier it is to reorder, the more likely patients are to do it.

***

#### With Skin Type PRO

Patients can:

* Return to their personalized routine
* Reorder products quickly
* Purchase through your online storefront

***

{% hint style="info" %}
💡 Removing friction is one of the biggest drivers of repeat purchases.
{% endhint %}

***

### How Patients Reorder Products

Skin Type PRO makes it easy for patients to return and purchase their routine again via the Patient Portal.

***

#### What the Patient Experiences

After their initial consult, the patient can:

* Access their personalized routine
* View the products recommended for them
* Reorder the same products quickly

***

#### How Reordering Happens

Patients typically reorder by:

* Logging into their Patient Portal
* Accessing their routine through your storefront
* Re-purchasing products they are already using

***

{% hint style="info" %}
💡 Because the routine is already defined, patients don’t need to make new decisions - they simply reorder.
{% endhint %}

***

### Why This Increases Revenue

Traditional retail requires patients to:

* Remember what they bought
* Decide what to buy again
* Navigate a full catalog

With Skin Type PRO:

* The routine is pre-built
* The products are already selected
* The checkout is simple

***

{% hint style="info" %}
💡 This removes friction and increases repeat purchases.
{% endhint %}

***

### Why Full Routines Drive More Reorders

Patients using a complete regimen:

* Run out of products at different times
* Stay engaged with their routine
* See better results

***

{% hint style="info" %}
💡 More products in use = more opportunities to reorder.
{% endhint %}

***

### Reinforce the Routine at Every Visit

Each patient interaction is an opportunity to reinforce behavior.

***

#### During Follow-Ups

* Ask how they’re using the routine
* Adjust products if needed
* Encourage continued use

***

{% hint style="info" %}
💡 This keeps patients engaged and increases long-term value.
{% endhint %}

***

### The Long-Term Opportunity

A single patient can generate multiple purchases over time.

***

#### Example Pattern

* Initial purchase
* Reorder at 30–60 days
* Ongoing replenishment
* Routine upgrades or adjustments

***

{% hint style="info" %}
💡 Over time, this creates predictable and growing revenue.
{% endhint %}

***

### What to Avoid

***

#### Treating It Like a One-Time Sale

* Limits long-term value
* Reduces patient outcomes

***

#### Not Setting Expectations

* Patients stop using products
* Reorders decrease

***

#### Making Reordering Difficult

* Lost revenue opportunities
* Lower compliance

***

### The Takeaway

The goal is not just to sell a routine - it’s to create a habit.

***

#### The Winning Approach

* Set expectations for consistency
* Make reordering simple
* Reinforce the routine over time

***

{% hint style="info" %}
💡 When patients stay consistent, results improve—and revenue compounds.
{% endhint %}
