These 3 Tools Are Quietly Powering 7-Figure Brands

Hey there, it’s Patrick from TVG.

One of the unfair advantages we have at TVG is visibility.

We’re working inside 30+ high-growth eCom brands every single week.

That means we’re constantly testing tools behind the scenes to see what actually moves the needle.

This week, I wanted to pull back the curtain and share 3 Shopify apps we’re actively using to boost retention, improve customer experience, and drive more revenue.

By the way, I do NOT have any affiliations with these apps. These are simply apps my team uses to get excellent results for our partners.

#1 and #2 are must-haves for brands looking to tighten up subscriptions and post-purchase CX…

But #3 is the AI-powered secret weapon that’s changing the game for how we build email flows, and optimize store conversions.

Let’s dive in:

1. Skio – The Best Subscription App for DTC Brands

Skio is our go-to when working with brands that offer subscriptions. It’s built for scale and provides a smoother UX than legacy tools like Recharge. Skio makes it dead simple for customers to edit, skip, or cancel without creating an account—which improves retention significantly.

When to use it:

If you sell consumables (supplements, food, skincare) and want to grow LTV through subscriptions without annoying your customers.

Performance impact:

We’ve seen retention rates on subscriptions increase by 15–25% just by switching to Skio.

2. Wonderment – Proactive Order Tracking + CX

Wonderment turns post-purchase tracking into a branded, retention-driving experience. Instead of sending customers to USPS or FedEx, you control the tracking experience and reduce WISMO (“Where Is My Order?”) support tickets.

When to use it:

If your customer support team is swamped with tracking questions—or you want to turn shipping anxiety into an opportunity to drive repeat purchases.

Performance impact:

Clients using Wonderment have reduced WISMO tickets by 40% and improved repeat purchase rate within 30 days.

3. Black Crow AI – Predictive Analytics for Smarter Ad Spend

This app uses AI to score every site visitor in real-time—allowing you to tailor ad spend, onsite offers, and email flows based on likelihood to purchase.

When to use it:

If you’re spending >$20k/month on paid traffic and want better ROI without increasing ad budgets.

Performance impact:

Black Crow lets you suppress low-quality traffic from retargeting and Klaviyo flows. One client saw a 17% increase in ROAS and 12% higher conversion rate in just 30 days.

These are tools we’re using every day inside TVG to give our clients an edge.
