The gap

Thousands of sample-kit buyers, and the follow-up was one generic "how did you like it?" email. Nobody tracked skin type, and full-size conversion sat at 22% — pure luck, not strategy.

What we ran

  • Skin-profile capture at checkout and post-purchase — type, concern, routine as zero-party data
  • Usage-timed follow-ups: the "results check-in" lands when the sample actually runs out
  • Routine-builder cross-sells per profile, with reviews from matching skin types (Okendo)
  • Replenishment flow calibrated to product size and daily-use rate

The result

Sample-to-full-size conversion nearly doubled to 41%, and flows alone now carry 34% of total revenue — before a single campaign is sent.

“The check-in email that lands exactly when the sample runs out felt like mind-reading. That one flow outsells our old campaigns.”
