In this episode of Subscription Prescription, I’m joined by Jose Vigo, founder of Healthy Metal, a magnesium sleep brand built around sachets and a “try it first” acquisition strategy.<br /><br />We unpack how a shipping-only trial can work, what drives conversion after the sample arrives, and the practical systems that bring customers back. We cover:<br /><ul><li>How Healthy Metal uses a shipping-only trial to acquire new customers</li><li>What actually influences trial-to-full conversion (product experience, price, and expectations)</li><li>The post-trial follow-up stack: inserts, email flows, retargeting, and flash offers</li><li>Testing direct mail with Paperrun, including a “personal letter” vs discount mailer experiment</li><li>Offer page experimentation in Replo, choice reduction, and AOV tradeoffs with multi-box subscriptions</li><li>Why sometimes breaking “best practices” is exactly what makes a model work</li></ul>Connect with Jose here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/josevigocasais/<br /><br />Subscribe to our weekly newsletter and never miss a dose: https://newsletter.thesubscriptiondoc.com]]></itunes:summary><itunes:duration>1726</itunes:duration><itunes:keywords>brand_loyalty,churn,consumer_psychology,consumer_retention,data_driven_marketing,ecommerce,growth_hacking,matthew_holman,subscription,subscription_optimization,subscription_prescription,supplements</itunes:keywords><itunes:explicit>false</itunes:explicit><itunes:image href="https://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/t_rss_itunes_square_1400/images.spreaker.com/original/3e6b70e3f425e9c86c5dd14b6cbc2de0.jpg"/><itunes:episodeType>full</itunes:episodeType></item><item><title>The First Subscription Fixes I’d Make If I Only Had a Few Days</title><link>https://www.spreaker.com/episode/the-first-subscription-fixes-i-d-make-if-i-only-had-a-few-days--69788284</link><description><![CDATA[If I only had a couple of days to improve a subscription program, this is exactly where I would start.<br /><br />In this episode of Subscription Prescription, I walk through a mini subscription workshop focused on fast, high-impact fixes.

He answers the commonly asked question: what's the difference between a web page that’s designed for a one time sale and a page that’s designed for subscriptions? Ultimately, you’re better off optimizing for subscriptions right off the bat if that's a core part of your business, your product, and the customer experience you’re going for. Matt also shares effective techniques for showing your product's price vs showing a discount in a way that is compelling for your customers.

A lot of brands use reviews, you might be using a review app on your product page to be able to show what customers think about the product. You might even use real life pictures of people using the product, talking about the product so that you’re speaking to your target audience using your own customers to make that happen.” 9:05<br /><br /><b><a href="https://qpilot.cloud/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://qpilot.cloud/</a><br /><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/holman-matthew/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.linkedin.com/in/holman-matthew/</a><br /><a href="https://twitter.com/subscriptiondoc" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://twitter.com/subscriptiondoc</a><br />Subscribe to my newsletter: <a href="http://thesubscriptjondoc.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">thesubscriptjondoc.com</a><br />Subscription Prescription <a href="https://thesubscriptiondoc.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://thesubscriptiondoc.com</a><br />Find out more about Entail AI at entail.ai</b>]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">https://api.spreaker.com/episode/56847297</guid><pubDate>Tue, 19 Sep 2023 10:00:03 +0000</pubDate><enclosure url="https://api.spreaker.com/download/episode/56847297/product_page_design.mp3" length="25644649" type="audio/mpeg"/><itunes:author>Subscription Doc</itunes:author><itunes:subtitle>On this episode of Subscription Prescription, Matt shares tips for optimizing product page design so that you can excell at selling subscriptions.

One of the most common frustrations e-commerce owners express is they've been running their subscription programs for a while and they’re just not sure where they should take their business next. A lot of these conversations surrounding their programs end up falling into one of 3 buckets: they’re excellent at acquiring subscribers, but bad at keeping them, they’re not great at acquiring customers, but they’re great at keeping them, or things are just kind of stagnant. To overcome these obstacles, Matt offers a unique approach he uses in auditing and understanding exactly what they can do to take their subscription programs to the next level. Matt divulges the three pieces of a stellar subscription business and shares his tips to reduce churn and increase subscriber retention. Tune in to learn more - you don't want to miss it!<br /><br />The fundamentals of a really strong subscription program 2:10<br />Implementing a post-purchase survey tool 6:25<br />Understanding the difference between an acquisition problem and a retention problem 7:30<br />You have an acquisition problem 13:20<br />Improving your offer 15:05<br /><br />“I love copy that speaks to the benefits of consistent usage.
