Decoding Loyalty: What the Latest Research Reveals About Repeat Buyers

In this episode of Supply Chain Now, host Scott Luton and special guest co-host Tevon E. Taylor welcome Lori Boyer, Head of Content Marketing at EasyPost, to unpack the post-purchase experience (tracking, claims, and returns) and how owning these moments drives loyalty and repeat purchase. Drawing on fresh consumer research, Lori explains why reliability and flexibility now outrank “free,” why brands, not carriers, are held responsible for delivery outcomes, and how proactive notifications can double as high-performing marketing touchpoints. Together, the panel dives into practical plays shippers can run today: cutting “where is my order?” calls with automated, branded tracking; removing friction with one-click USPS claims filing; and turning adverse events into brand-building recoveries. They also explore modern return realities. From fraud and “keep-the-item” policies to sustainability pressures, and how to reduce returns at the source with better product information, sizing guidance, and segmentation. If you ship anything in 2025, this fast-moving conversation is a field guide to protecting your brand promise after the buy button. This episode is hosted by Scott Luton and Tevon Taylor, and produced by Trisha Cordes, Joshua Miranda, and Amanda Luton.   Additional Links & Resources Check out all the great resources and information mentioned…

El Poder de la Visibilidad

En este episodio de Supply Chain Now en español nos adentramos en una conversación que inspira y abre la mente sobre el poder de la visibilidad y trazabilidad en la cadena de suministro. Nuestro invitado, José Guillermo Suárez, director de ventas para Latinoamérica en Tive Inc., comparte con nosotros su fascinante trayectoria: desde sus primeros pasos en Australia trabajando con productos mexicanos, hasta convertirse en un referente en soluciones tecnológicas que están revolucionando la logística en todo el continente. A lo largo del episodio descubrimos que la logística no solo trata de contenedores, rutas o procesos, sino de conectar personas, crear confianza y anticipar lo que viene. José nos cuenta cómo la innovación de Tive permite tener control en tiempo real de la carga, prevenir riesgos y generar decisiones más inteligentes, incluso en contextos tan retadores como Latinoamérica. Además, exploramos cómo la lectura, la sustentabilidad y los aprendizajes personales marcan la diferencia en la forma de liderar y enfrentar desafíos. Con anécdotas sinceras, reflexiones valiosas y ejemplos prácticos, este episodio nos recuerda que la logística, más que un negocio, es un puente de confianza y transformación.   Subscríbete a nuestro canal de YouTube: https://bit.ly/SCNE_YouTube Únete a nuestro newsletter: ⁠https://bit.ly/SCNE_Newsletter Síguenos…
