The Starting Point

Organics Ocean, a premium sustainable wellness brand, faced significant challenges with Appstle while running their subscription program::

• Poor data visibility: Limited analytics to understand subscriber behavior
• Unreliable cancellation tracking: Unable to properly analyze why customers left
• Irregular billing: Customers were charged at inconsistent intervals
• Limited retention tools: There are few options to prevent cancellations

These limitations resulted in 20% churn with subscription revenue stagnating at 6-8% of total business.

The Solution

Working with Loop's Customer Success team, Organics Ocean implemented:

• Enhanced Analytics: Complete visibility into subscription metrics and customer behavior
• Reliable Billing: Consistent, predictable billing cycles
• Strategic Retention: Data-driven cancellation prevention

Key Initiatives

1. Founder-Led Retention Experience
