Benchmarking for DTC Growth

In this episode, Alex Orley shares the benchmark patterns he sees across hundreds of DTC brands, revealing the four dimensions — repeat revenue share, AOV quality, LTV payback curves, and contribution margin discipline — that consistently separate top-quartile performers from the median. The goal isn't to impress or intimidate, but to give operators a clear, numerical framework for identifying which dimension is their real bottleneck before the plateau becomes unavoidable.
