01 · Business Context & Challenge

A wellness audience that wanted to buy more, and no system to let them

Pestle & Pods produces premium organic superfood blends and smoothie pods. In consumable wellness, first-purchase acquisition on Meta is rarely profitable on day one—business margins depend entirely on 60-day repurchase rates and subscription-like customer retention.

Prior to our engagement, email was generating only CA$9.5K total (starting at a meager ~CA$645/month baseline). Customers ordered once, but because they lacked usage recipes and automated replenishment reminders, repeat orders remained stagnant.

Automated Recipe Flows

The Core Problem: Superfood consumers need usage inspiration and timely reorder prompts before their supply runs empty. Without these, churn was nearly 85% after the first purchase.

02 · Audit & Technical Diagnostics

What the audit uncovered across usage friction & list hygiene

Our technical and lifecycle audit revealed four critical obstacles suppressing repeat purchase frequency:

Post-Purchase Usage Drop-Off

Customers received a single shipping notification with no recipes, unboxing tips, or blender guides, leading to delayed consumption and zero habit formation.

Consumption Gap

Lack of Replenishment Timing Logic

A 30-serving pod pack lasts ~30 days. Pestle & Pods had zero automated replenishment emails timed to Day 21 and Day 35 to prompt timely reorders.

Missed Reorders

Low-Converting Desktop Only Popup

The original signup form converted under 2% and broke on mobile viewports where 78% of organic traffic arrived.

List Acquisition Loss

1 Blast Per Month Cadence

The store only sent one generic discount email per month, failing to build community, educate on superfood benefits, or feature customer testimonials.
