One question I hear often is when should a store stop marketing to lukewarm customers. In Repeat Customer Insights I'd recommend using the advice in the automatic segments.

Yesterday I was talking with someone about their Google Analytics setup. Since they were using a 3rd party platform to sell their product, they weren't able to get most of their funnel metrics. The platform sends some basic data to them (e.g. traffic amounts, urls) but no referal, campaign, or...
