THEIR CONSTRAINTS

Before partnering with us, MASA didn’t have a clear customer journey to guide new buyers toward becoming loyal fans.

Previous retention work was handled by offshore contractors who didn’t fully understand the brand, product benefits, or the health-conscious customer base—leading to messaging that felt off, lacked conviction, and was often riddled with typos.

Most campaigns were image-only (hurting deliverability), sent to the entire list with no segmentation, and flows were either generic or incomplete. Despite a growing list and strong brand, repeat revenue was leaking through the cracks.

OUR SOLUTION

We restructured MASA’s retention engine from the ground up, built for storytelling, education, and sustained performance:

Built and optimized a complete flow system: welcome, abandonments, post-purchase, replenishment, loyalty, VIP, and custom segment based automations based on repeat customer behavior 

Redesigned campaign strategy with proper segmentation, text-image balance, and high-conviction messaging

Activated SMS as a complementary channel for product launches, education, and LTV growth

Integrated brand storytelling (Steven’s voice, product education, ingredient highlights) into the lifecycle

Launched monthly reporting + testing loops to support broader marketing and product initiatives
