The growth sequence / our inference

How DASH's loop likely runs.

Built from the public tactics above. It is a reading of the mechanism, not the brand's internal strategy, and seeing a tactic doesn't prove it caused growth.

  1. 01

    Try flavour

  2. 02

    Choose mix

  3. 03

    Repurchase box

  4. 04

    Recommend

Two tests worth running / proposed

What we'd test next.

Trigger / audience

Main KPI
Second order margin per buyer
Measurement window
One full purchase/renewal cycle; set duration with historical data before test

Test 2

Reorder by preferred channel

Trigger / audience
Returning customer has chosen to receive SMS or email
Proposed action

Main KPI
Incremental reorder margin per eligible
Measurement window
One full purchase/renewal cycle; set duration with historical data before test

Evidence limit

Check validity of incentives and programme; do not infer SMS contribution to growth. No product has been purchased and no customer inbox has been observed.
