By default, in Triple Whale purchases as either “” or “”, but not all “returning” customers are equal. There’s a big difference between someone who just purchased last month, and someone who hasn’t ordered in 6+ months and was reactivated by paid media.
Many brands fall into the trap of thinking only net-new customers bring value. But in reality, reactivated customers, especially those who had long since disengaged, represent incremental profit that wouldn't have occurred without advertising.
In this guide, we’ll show you how to:
- Identify reactivated customers based on time since their last order (e.g., 90, 180, or 365 days).
- Calculate how NC ROAS and NC % change when including those reactivated customers.
- Export the results for further analysis or reporting.
Paste one of the queries below based on your definition of reactivated customers:
From your Triple Whale dashboard:
- Click on the left-hand menu
- Select
Once inside the SQL editor:
- Paste the full query below
- Click
Before running, review the attribution model and window info at the bottom of this page to ensure consistency with your preferred setup.
Once the data loads:
- Click the three-dot menu in the top right corner of the table
- Select Export > CSV
Your query output will include:
- % of Total Customers Reactivated based on your definition of reactivated customers
- Adjusted NC ROAS and NC %, showing the lift from including reactivated customers
- Daily performance breakdown by campaign and spend
This query uses a default attribution window of '7_days'.
If you prefer a different window, replace all instances of '7_days' with one of the following:
- '1_day'
- '14_days'
- '28_days'
- 'lifetime'
This query uses 'Triple Attribution' as the default attribution model.
You can replace it with any of the following if needed:
- 'Last Click'
- 'First Click'
- 'Linear All'
- 'Linear Paid'
- 'Total Impact'
Use this analysis to better understand how many customers are reactivating through your campaigns — and how that impacts your new customer performance metrics.
