FAQs: D2C Growth

Marketplaces drive volume but limit customer ownership. D2C websites/apps let brands:

  • Capture 1st-party customer data.

  • Build loyalty programs.

  • Avoid marketplace commissions (10–20%).

  • Test pricing and bundling flexibly.

  • High CAC compared to marketplace acquisition.

  • Trust gap — consumers prefer known platforms.

  • Logistics expectations (2–3 day delivery standard).

  • Payment fragmentation.
    Brands must invest heavily in trust-building (reviews, COD, free returns).

  • Use Shopify/Shopline localized stores.

  • Partner with 3PLs for last-mile delivery.

  • Run retargeting campaigns via Meta, TikTok, Google.

  • Build community channels (LINE, WhatsApp groups).

  • CAC vs LTV ratio.

  • Repeat purchase rate.

  • AOV (average order value).

  • Website conversion rates.

  • % of revenue from owned channels vs marketplaces.

Best practice is channel complementarity: marketplaces for acquisition, D2C for retention. Example: offer exclusive bundles on the brand’s site while selling bestsellers on Shopee.
