Beekeeper’s Naturals is reinventing the medicine cabinet with clean, effective bee-based products for immunity, energy, gut-health, and brain-health. For the brands’ loyal customers, running out product(s) central to a daily routine puts the whole routine at risk. That’s why the team at Beekeeper’s Naturals offers a subscription program to power the healthy habits core to their brand’s mission.
Challenges
Before coming to Stay, Beekeeper’s Natural’s previous subscription provider didn’t offer the flexibility or capabilities needed to stand out. They felt like they were leaving money on the table — and they were right. That’s when they found Stay AI.
The Solution: Stay AI
Since migrating to Stay AI, Beekeeper’s Naturals has grown monthly recurring subscription revenue by 62% with enhanced subscriber communications and strategic surprise and delight opportunities — like personalized notes, unexpected gifts, and exclusive offers.
Strategy
Here’s how Beekeeper’s Naturals achieved such incredible growth after moving to Stay AI.
Crafting Subscriber-Benefit Driven Onboarding Emails with Stay AI’s In-App Email Builder: To combat first-order churn, Beekeeper’s Naturals designed new onboarding emails that reinforce subscription benefits like free shipping, discounts, and early access.
These emails educate customers about subscription perks, building excitement and anticipation.
Building these same emails using the brand’s previous subscription app would have required developer intervention, but Stay Ai’s intuitive drag-and-drop builder made this easy – no code required!
Leveraging Churn Analytics for Subscriber Surprise & Delight: Stay Ai’s churn risk analysis graph helped Beekeeper’s Naturals identify the optimal time to send gifts and other offers to keep subscribers engaged. After identifying the fourth subscription order as a high-value gifting opportunity, the brand now sends a surprise to build affinity and keep the brand top-of-mind.
Implementing New Upsell Offers with Stay’s Customer Portal to Boost Add-On Revenue: Upsells complement recurring subscription revenue to help drive growth and increase AOV, but other subscription apps can make it challenging to present these juicy offers to subscribers. With Stay Ai, Beekeeper’s Naturals’ customer portal features a native, AI-powered upsell carousel (right out of the box) that recommends the right products to the right customers – no development required!
When subscribers log on to manage their subscriptions, they see a visually appealing display of featured products they can add to their orders with a single click, plus clear visual indicators to emphasize subscriber-exclusive savings.
Offering Free Samples to Boost Future Order AOV: Another way Beekeeper’s Naturals introduces subscribers to new products is by surprising them with free samples! The team adds samples of the brand’s lip product, for example, to allow customers to try the new product for free. After receiving the sample, many subscribers add the lip product to their regular upcoming subscription orders, increasing subscription AOV and contributing to the brand’s increase in add-on revenue.
