First-Time Buyers Segment

/first-timers  Builds a segment of customers with exactly one order in the last 30 days, the group most likely to buy again with a nudge.

Add to Sidekick

Add opens your Shopify admin with the skill prefilled; review it there and click Add. If nothing appears, use Copy and follow the steps below.

The skill

Suggested shortcut: /first-timers
Build a first-time buyers segment.

## Steps
1. Count customers with exactly one order, placed in the last 30 days. Report the count and the most common first product.
2. Report the store's second-purchase rate: of customers whose first order was 60 to 90 days ago, what share have ordered again.
3. Show the segment definition in plain words. Ask for approval. Only after a clear yes, create a saved segment named "First order last 30d".

## Output
Two numbers with one line of context each, the definition, then "Create the segment?"

What you get

The audience for a second-purchase nudge, and the number that tells you whether the nudge is working: your second-purchase rate.

When to use it

When setting up a post-purchase email or a “welcome back” offer.

Variations

  • “Also create ‘First order 31 to 60 days ago, no second order’” for a later nudge.

Limits

Second-purchase rate is computed from Shopify orders only; subscriptions billed through an app may count as separate orders.
