Hey there,

Most brands treat the sale like a finish line:

“Congrats. You bought. Thanks and good luck out there.”

But here’s what the Peak-End Rule tells us about how humans think and behave:

We remember experiences based on two things:

1. The peak (the most intense moment)
2. The end

So if your buyer’s last interaction is a generic order confirmation and then…silence?

That may be what they remember.

That may be what they associate with your brand.

Here’s the fix:

Turn the post-purchase moment into a marketing moment.

This is your chance to:

• Reinforce that they made a smart decision
• Preview what success looks like
• Gather their feedback
• Guide them toward the next logical step (reorder, review, explore)

Because the sale isn’t the end of the journey. Honestly, it’s really just the beginning.

Here’s how this plays out in B2B ecommerce:

Supplier A:​
→ Follows up with: “Thanks for your order. Here’s your invoice.”

Supplier B:​
→ Follows up with: exact information around shipping and product care, plus other products and info that are relevant to what I need.

Guess which experience gets remembered? Guess which one is *most likely* to produce a second sale?

Timing + psychology > discount + hope.
