赚完溜
Explanation:
宁要回头客,不能赚完溜。

从网上查到的和这里reference的看来,这个词的意思都不离一次赚客人一大比钱然后就跑掉,不在乎顾客满不满意。我这里为了译得更像广告词,凑成了五个字,可能有点太俗了。

一次性奇迹


Explanation:
Look at the whole sentence, it is comparing the choices.
They chose "repeat sales over one-truck-wonders" so the one truck wonders is just an expression, not really meaning the truck, no need to translate by word itself. The whole phrase meaning" 多次销售胜于一次性(销售)奇迹“

agree  Forrest Liang: 一锤子买卖:指价钱贵,货色次,服务态度不好,顾客不愿再来打交道。与英文原文几乎完全相同意义。“赚完溜”则是说卖家跑了,原文的意思是买家不愿再来买了,而不是卖家“溜”了。
