What if I told you that 45% of Shopify stores doing over $1M a year don’t use a reviews app? In this episode, I sit down with Jeremy Horowitz, ex-Gorgias, investor, and the guy who’s worked with Kim Kardashian and over 17,000 Shopify brands. We got to dig deep into the hidden data behind what 7-figure Shopify merchants are really using to grow. We talk app adoption trends, Shopify Plus vs Advanced (and why Plus might be a trap), repeat order rates that attract investors, and what most merchants are doing wrong when it comes to subscriptions and reorders. If you want to get into the top 3% of all Shopify merchants, this episode’s your blueprint.

Repeat purchase rate between 10–40% is the sweet spot for investors
WhatsApp is the new SMS — especially outside North America
The best brands don’t rely on hacks — they build sustainable, cash-flow-positive machines
Tech stacks are simplifying — fewer apps, more impact
Categories like Reviews are shifting to “Social Proof” with embedded video and UGC
Investor red flags: MCA debt, no channel diversity, key-person risk

Omnisend – I personally use Omnisend for every Shopify store I manage! I’ve tried them all and Omnisend is hands down the easiest way to set up email and sms automations and campaigns, leverage segmentation to personalize them, and A/B test everything to optimize conversion. The push notifications and gamified email collection tools are just the icing on the cake 🤌
