Introduction

Solution Used

Conversion-Optimized E-Commerce Store Design & Ongoing CRO

EcoSkin drove $60–90K in monthly traffic but converted just 1.8% of visitors. Buyers loved the natural ingredients — but didn't trust them enough to purchase. Subscription uptake sat below 8%. We rebuilt the product experience around clinical proof, ingredient transparency, and subscription-first design.

Stagnant Conversion Rate

At 1.8% CR, over 98% of EcoSkin's paid traffic left without purchasing.

Clinical Proof System

Built ingredient-benefit matrix with lab seals and evidence-based copy.

Insufficient Trust Proof

No clinical data, lab seals, or third-party evidence anywhere on site.

Trust Architecture at CTA

Added trust band, clinical proof module, and curated review wall.

Weak Subscription Uptake

Below 8% subscribed — nearly all revenue was one-time and volatile.

Subscription-First UX

Defaulted subscribe option with savings display and flexible frequency.

Unclear Product Benefits

Ingredient lists without context left buyers confused about real value.

Personalization Quiz

On-site skin-type quiz feeding personalized recs and Klaviyo segments.

No post-purchase flows for replenishment, review capture, or upsells.

Revenue Email Flows

Launched welcome, onboarding, replenishment, and review capture flows.

Clinical proof placed near the CTA outperforms trust badges and testimonials alone

Defaulting subscriptions with visible savings math tripled recurring revenue

Automated post-purchase email flows drove 22% of total revenue within 60 days

83% conversions. 3× subscriptions. +45% lifetime value

We spent $60K+ monthly on ads but converted only 1.8%. Shoppers loved our ingredients but didn't trust unproven claims enough to buy. The team rebuilt our pages with clinical proof, restructured subscription UX, and launched automated email flows. We now convert at 3.3%, subscriptions tripled, and LTV is up 45%
