How K-Kare improved customer return by 250% with Vuelvy.
In beauty, the first purchase opens a routine that can last for months. Vuelvy turned that post-purchase moment into an ongoing relationship through digital passes: K-Kare recurrence moved from approximately 3–4% to 14–15%. The conservative comparison between the previous 4% and the current 14% equals a 250% relative improvement. Average order value also rose from €53.60 to a monthly range of €86.70–€92.10, increasing the value of each acquired customer and helping the investment behind the first purchase work harder.
Notification and update availability depends on each Wallet platform’s capabilities and policies.
The result: 250% more customer return
K-Kare recurrence previously stood at approximately 3–4% and now reaches around 14–15%. To communicate the result without choosing the most favourable endpoints, Vuelvy uses the conservative comparison from 4% to 14%: a 10-percentage-point increase, a rate 3.5 times higher and a 250% relative improvement. This does not mean that 250% of customers returned or that revenue automatically rose by the same proportion; it measures the ability to turn a first order into a later one.

More return from advertising investment
Advertising earns the first purchase, but its real return depends on the value a customer creates afterwards. When Vuelvy helps a K-Kare buyer return, the original acquisition cost is spread across more orders and customer lifetime value increases. The ad does not become cheaper; it works harder because it stops funding a single transaction and starts feeding a loyal relationship.
- More orders from each acquired customer
- Higher lifetime value against the same initial cost
- Less dependence on paying again for the next order
- LTV, CAC and margin read together
The beauty routine creates the reason to return
K-Kare organises its K-beauty ecommerce experience around skincare goals and routine steps. Vuelvy uses that context to keep a relevant next action in Wallet: replenish a product, complete the routine or access a related selection. The communication stops being a generic reminder and becomes connected to a need the customer already recognises.
- Pass offered after a confirmed order
- Benefit explained before saving
- Content connected to the purchase and routine
- Direct path to a useful next action
From checkout to the next order through Wallet
After buying, customers can save the compatible pass to Apple Wallet or Google Wallet without installing a K-Kare or Vuelvy app. The pass keeps the benefit visible and makes the next visit easier. A stable identifier, tagged link or attributable code connects the interaction to the later order confirmed by the ecommerce system.
- Enrolment from confirmation or post-purchase communication
- Pass available in the customer's Wallet
- Visible benefit, validity and terms
- Next order validated by ecommerce
The KPIs behind the growth
The 14–15% recurrence rate is the leading signal, but it is not read alone. K-Kare and Vuelvy also track purchase frequency and time to the next order. Average order value moved from €53.60 to €86.70–€92.10 depending on the month: an approximate increase of 61.8% to 71.8%. Satisfaction is monitored through response to the benefit, redemption friction, incidents and feedback, because a repeat order achieved through a poor experience does not build loyalty.
- Recurrence: from 3–4% to 14–15%
- Average order value: €53.60 to €86.70–€92.10
- Frequency, redemption and customer lifetime value
- Satisfaction, incidents and usage friction
There is no magic formula: every business needs its own strategy
K-Kare's journey cannot simply be copied into every company. Natural purchase frequency, margin, catalogue, audience and incentive change which pass, moment and message can be profitable. Vuelvy analyses each case, defines the behaviour that must improve and connects measurement to real sales. That expertise creates a tailored loyalty system instead of applying a generic promotion.
- Diagnosis of purchase cycle and audience
- Mechanic adapted to margin and objectives
- Measurement of recurrence, order value, satisfaction and LTV
- Iteration based on orders, not just issued passes
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What improved by 250% in the K-Kare success story?
Recurrence moved from approximately 3–4% to 14–15%. The 250% figure is the relative improvement from conservatively comparing the previous 4% with the current 14%: a 10-percentage-point increase and a rate 3.5 times higher.
How does Vuelvy improve advertising profitability?
It helps turn a first purchase acquired through advertising into later orders. The original acquisition cost therefore creates more lifetime value and the brand depends less on paying to acquire the same customer again.
Does the customer need to install another app?
Customers do not need a proprietary K-Kare or Vuelvy app; they save the compatible pass to Apple Wallet or Google Wallet from the enrolment link.
Which KPIs support customer return?
Repeat purchase rate, frequency, time to the next order, average order value, margin after the incentive, lifetime value, redemption, satisfaction and incidents. Together they show whether recurrence is also profitable and sustainable.
How much did average order value increase?
Average order value was previously €53.60. During the programme it ranged from €86.70 to €92.10 depending on the month, an approximate increase of 61.8% to 71.8%. Vuelvy reads it alongside net margin after the benefit.
How is a repeat purchase confirmed?
The order recorded by the ecommerce system is the source of truth. An identifier, tagged link or attributable code connects it to the journey without treating issuance or an open as a repeat purchase.
