"We decided to move forward with Loop Subscriptions after an extensive evaluation of several other subscription apps on the market. Our primary motivation was Loop's comprehensive feature set combined with great reviews from other users. We were migrating from ReCharge and considered other popular options like Stay.AI, but Loop's seamless integration with our existing systems, its robust flow capabilities, and its on-hand support team ultimately won us over."
OSEA Malibu was looking for a subscription platform that could support deeper analytics, gift subscriptions, and a more flexible customer experience.
Results reflect OSEA Malibu's measured experience; outcomes vary by brand, vertical, product, and implementation.
Founded in 1996, OSEA Malibu is a premium, clean beauty brand from California. As an established retail enterprise, Shopify subscriptions accounted for approximately 12% of their business at the time of migration. A 10% subscription churn rate signaled an opportunity to invest in active churn reduction and unlock more of the subscription channel.
To act on this opportunity, OSEA wanted a subscription strategy that addressed rewards, active churn, bundles, and incremental revenue together.
Loop's customer success team partnered with OSEA Malibu to implement a plan to transform their subscription experience. Here's how they did it.
OSEA Malibu visualized the rewards journey in Loop's customer portal, allowing subscribers to track their progress. With visible milestones and real-time updates, subscribers had clearer visibility into the value of staying subscribed.
Instead of leaning on discounts, which didn't align with their high-end brand image, OSEA focused on value-added perks and incentives. OSEA Malibu's team reports a sharp decline in cancellation attempts over this period, with fewer subscribers clicking "cancel" over time.
By making the rewards journey both visible and compelling, OSEA Malibu strengthened subscriber engagement.
Using Loop's multi-step, conversational cancellation flow, OSEA Malibu engaged subscribers at each step.
When subscribers clicked "Cancel," they were directed to a dedicated Benefits Page that highlighted the perks of keeping their subscription. Messaging was segmented based on subscriber attributes like order history, products purchased, and customer lifetime value (CLTV). Subscribers cancelling after their second order saw different reasons and solutions than those cancelling after their tenth.
The team created custom cancellation reasons with personal language, and a custom alternative action for each reason. Subscribers citing "enough stock" were offered options to pause, skip, or adjust delivery frequency. Subscribers who found the subscription too expensive were offered additional discounts or exclusive perks.
As a last resort, subscribers were presented with a tailored offer. Because OSEA Malibu isn't a discount-heavy brand, discounts were limited to specific reasons and communication was highly personalized.
OSEA Malibu's team reported a 3% save rate from this flow.
OSEA has many long-tenured customers who have completed a high number of orders. Loop's team worked with OSEA Malibu to create a tiered discounting strategy for loyal subscribers.
Leveraging customer-specific attributes inside Loop, the team created tailored incentives such as a gift for high-value subscribers, with discounts targeted to subscribers who had spent over $250.
Loop supports custom messaging for promotional offers, letting OSEA Malibu communicate that the discount was specifically for that loyal subscriber.
OSEA Malibu recommended upsells based on what customers had already bought. These recommendations appeared in Loop's customer portal with custom messaging like "Goes well with your next order."
The team also boosted upsells via a pop-up cart drawer. Discounts were configured for some products, while others didn't have discounts.
OSEA Malibu's team reports one upsell profile saw a 4.36% conversion rate after setup.
OSEA Malibu's team reports the following results after migrating to Loop and implementing the initiatives above:
"The migration process to Loop was surprisingly smooth. We were concerned about potential downtime and data loss, but the Loop team guided us through every step with clear instructions and timely support. Their meticulous approach ensured a hassle-free transition with minimal disruption to our service."
