Back to EpisodesThe Four Ways Supplement Subscriptions Die
Description
Most operators stare at one blended churn number and have no idea what it's actually telling them. I get to see the subscription curves behind a lot of supplement brands at once, and the same four decay patterns keep showing up, each one a different problem hiding inside the same ugly number.
There's the cliff, where people bail right after the first order, and it's never a product problem. It's impatient buyers running out of hope, and buyers who just wanted the discount and never planned to stay.
There's the ninety-day wall, where they decide if they felt enough to keep paying, and where a customer who got results but never noticed cancels just as fast as one who felt nothing.
There's the slow bleed, the quiet one that never sets off an alarm, where your product worked so well they stopped feeling the problem, so they stopped paying for the fix.
And there's the price-shock spike, the cancels that cluster around a billing date and have nothing to do with the product at all.
Four patterns. With four different causes. And four different fixes. And most brands grab a random retention tactic and wonder why it does nothing, because they never diagnosed which one they're actually fighting.
The diagnosis is the whole game. This episode shows you how to read your own curve and finally name it.
Because people don't buy supplements the way they buy other products. And they don't quit them the same way either.
