DTC retention benchmarks 2026

SHORT ANSWER

This report will publish DTC repeat purchase, cohort retention, time to second order and cohort LTV under the disclosed benchmarks methodology. It is not published yet: the dataset and data dictionary are still being collected, and no figure appears here until they are verified.

This is the report shell. Figures will be published only after the dataset described in the methodology has been collected and verified.
