The OTC brand faced increasing pressure to retain consumers in a crowded marketplace where switching costs were low and promotions were easily replicated.

While product quality remained strong, the brand lacked a structured way to reward loyalty, gather actionable feedback, and build emotional connections with consumers beyond transactions.

Key challenges included:

• Low repeat purchase consistency: Consumers frequently switched brands based on discounts or availability.

• Slow adoption of new products: Trial and feedback cycles for new launches were fragmented and delayed.

• Limited emotional engagement: Health journeys and wellness achievements were not acknowledged by the brand.

• High customer acquisition costs: Referral-driven growth was underutilized.

• Unpredictable revenue streams: Subscription enrollment remained low despite regular product usage.

• Low engagement with educational content: Consumers lacked incentives to explore product benefits and health information.
