The challenge

Millions of visits. More revenue to unlock.

Avantera was already generating significant demand for Elevate, its flagship nootropic. The brand had established advertising, a strong subscription business and landing pages receiving substantial traffic. But there were opportunities throughout the buying journey: subscription pricing was not always clear, customers had questions about the offer, and different advertising angles were not always carried through to the landing page. With hundreds of thousands of monthly sessions, improving what each visit was worth could have a significant impact on profit.

What support tickets told us

Customers did not always realise they were buying a subscription. And when they cancelled, it was budget and uncertainty about benefits, not the product.

Source: support tickets, cancellation feedback, post-purchase surveys
Friction 01

Subscription clarity

Customers did not always understand the terms before purchasing.

Friction 02

Offer perception

The savings and value of subscribing could be communicated more clearly.

Friction 03

Landing page relevance

Different audiences needed different buying arguments.

Friction 04

Purchase friction

Product pages and cart needed more clarity and reassurance.

The strategy

Research the customer. Improve the buying argument.

We started by looking at what customers were saying, seeing, clicking and buying. Reviews, post-purchase surveys, support tickets, winning ads, analytics and session recordings showed us where customers needed more information and where the offer could work harder. That gave us specific hypotheses to test. Rather than making isolated design changes, we worked across four areas: offer, positioning, copy and funnels.

The tests

Six wins. The three biggest, up close.

Win 1 · PDP · Subscription selector

Make the subscription saving impossible to miss

The problem: customers were being asked to understand the subscription saving without always seeing the actual price difference clearly. The original buy box led with a per-serving price, a toggle and a list of terms. What we tested: showing the one-time price alongside the discounted subscription price, so the monetary saving is visible at the buying decision. The offer, the delivery cadence and "pause or cancel anytime" sit in one line under the price.

A/B test result

The winning variation set the pattern for how subscription savings are shown everywhere in the funnel: the price you would pay, the price you pay, and the gap between them.

Win 2 · Offer · Subscription take rate

Restructure the offer so more first orders are subscriptions

We tested different subscription offer structures and how pricing was presented: the size of the first-order discount, how the monthly price was framed, and what sat next to the button. One experiment increased subscription order share from 89.5% to 96.7%, at 97% reported confidence. Subscribers acquired per visitor also rose from 4.10% to 5.01%, although that secondary result had lower statistical confidence.

Subscription order share · 97% confidence
4.10% → 5.01%
Subscribers per visitor · lower confidence

When the subscription is already the default, the remaining lift comes from the framing of the deal, not the discount itself.

Win 3 · Cart · Pricing breakdown

Make the cart easier to understand

The problem: the original cart did not clearly break down the discount, savings and final price. A customer who had just been promised 30% off could not see it applied. What we changed: a clear pricing breakdown, original price, discount code applied, amount saved, and "you pay today". Free shipping and the free gift are itemised rather than implied, and a ships-today countdown sits at the top.

A discount the customer cannot see being applied is a discount they do not trust. Show the maths.

Win 4 · PDP · Reassurance

Reduce hesitation at the buy box

We made purchase reassurance (guarantee, shipping, made in USA, third-party tested) visible right around the buying decision instead of further down the page.

Win 5 · Copy · Hero & reviews

Test how customers understand the product

We tested hero messaging ("clear the fog" vs "clean energy" vs "focus"), which customer reviews to lead with (on focus, on energy, on mood), and the supporting product copy, to learn which benefits deserve the most attention and how to back up the first message further down the page.

Informed the structure of the buying argument across Elevate's product pages.

Win 6 · Offer · Free gift

Improve offer value without a deeper discount

Not every improvement to an offer needs to come from a bigger discount. We tested adding a free gift (a travel pill case on Elevate, a Calm Focus Spinner on the kids gummies) to see whether perceived value would move purchasing behaviour. The gift carried through to the cart as a line item marked FREE.

Offers · Modals & popups

Raise order value at the moment of commitment

Alongside the on-page tests we designed and built the offer layer that sits over the funnel: a post-add-to-cart bundle upgrade (Elevate + Unwind, designed to work together, 20% off and under $40 a bottle), sitewide sale bars with countdowns (Presidents Day, Spring, Summer, Fall, Prime Week), free gift mechanics and discount code handling in the cart. Each one follows the same rule as the tests: show the current order, show the upgrade, show the saving in money, and make "continue with my order" easy to find so the modal never feels like a trap.

Landing pages · 1.79M sessions

1.79 million sessions to one landing page

Alongside A/B testing, we built and optimised dedicated landing pages for Avantera's different acquisition angles: education-led pages, subscription-focused funnels, advertorials, a kids-specific page and the homepage. One key landing page received approximately 1.79 million sessions at a reported 2.2% conversion rate. At that volume, small improvements in conversion or profit per visitor carry substantial commercial value.

The bigger result

$0.50 more profit per session.

One of the experiments delivered a reported $0.50 increase in profit per session. At roughly 400,000 monthly sessions, that is an estimated $200,000 in additional monthly profit. The importance goes beyond the individual test: it shows what improving the economics of existing traffic means for a brand operating at scale.

One of the tests was a 50 cents per session increase in profit. We are doing about 400,000 sessions a month, so it was an increase in profit of $200,000 a month, just based on current traffic levels.
