Case Study — NutriPaw
NutriPaw is a fast-growing UK pet supplement brand beloved by dog owners. But behind the strong brand and loyal community, a silent revenue leak was draining millions. 80% of customers were buying once and never coming back. We fixed that.

01 — The Problem
NutriPaw came to us with a problem they could feel but couldn't fix. Despite strong traffic and a product their customers loved, recurring revenue was flatlined. The numbers told a brutal story: 8 out of 10 buyers purchased once and disappeared.
By industry benchmarks, this was far beyond normal. A pet supplement brand with genuine repeat-purchase potential should not be losing customers at this rate. The problem wasn't the product. It was the offer architecture.
We conducted a full-funnel audit and immediately spotted where the revenue was leaking:
Supply duration confusion
Bundles were labeled with vague, inconsistent language — one said "Up to 8 months supply." When a customer thinks a single purchase lasts 8 months, why would they ever subscribe? This single line was killing recurring revenue frequency.
Subscription incentives buried
The value of subscribing wasn't communicated with any clarity. Discounts existed, but they were whispered, not shouted. Free gifts were offered but no one knew they scaled with quantity. The incentive structure was invisible.
Friction where there should be flow
The offer section had become a wall of information that created confusion instead of clarity. Only ~44% of add-to-cart users were reaching checkout. The product section on the homepage was converting subscribers at nearly half the rate of product pages. The entire offer presentation was a friction machine.
02 — The Solution
This wasn't about changing the price or running promotions. We redesigned the entire above-the-fold product section — the offer architecture, the incentive framing, and the value hierarchy.
First, we eliminated the supply duration confusion. No more “up to 8 months” language. Every option was reframed around a clear monthly cadence that aligned with subscription frequency. The customer could instantly understand what they're getting and when they'll need more.
Second, we made the subscription incentive structure unmissable. The discount was front and center. The free gift mechanic — which multiplied based on how many tubs were added to cart — was visualized clearly so customers could see exactly what they were leaving on the table by choosing one-time purchase.
Third, we stripped away the noise. Every element in the offer section was pressure-tested: does this move the customer toward a decision, or does it create hesitation? Anything that created hesitation was cut or restructured.
The result was an offer presentation that made the subscription path feel like the obvious, rational, generous choice — because it was. We just made it visible.
03 — The Results
We ran this as a controlled A/B test using order-level data across 757 transactions over the test period. The variant (our redesigned offer section) was measured against the original across every metric that matters.
The subscription take rate more than doubled — from roughly 1 in 5 customers subscribing to nearly 1 in 2. But what makes this result truly powerful is what it means downstream: subscribers buying more units per order, at a higher AOV, with higher revenue per transaction. This is compounding LTV improvement from a single test.
Across all 4 experiments combined, the total impact was +147.9% first-time subscribers, +19.6% conversion rate, and +18.9% AOV — projecting to over £4M in additional annual revenue.

This was just one of four experiments we ran. The other three — including the checkout flow fix that recovered 19.6% in lost conversions and the homepage product section that lifted RPV by 11.7% — are available exclusively to DTC CRO Meat subscribers.

Before working with us, NutriPaw had a CRO team in place. They were running tests. But they were testing the wrong things — small, safe, incremental tweaks that never reached statistical significance. Button color changes. Copy variations on CTAs. Rearranging deck chairs while the subscription model bled out.
Meanwhile, competitors were moving fast. New pet supplement brands were launching with offer structures and funnel architectures that NutriPaw was falling behind on. The gap was widening every month the old agency ran another inconclusive test.
Presidents and governments get elected every few years for a reason. So should agencies. If your current team hasn't delivered a statistically significant win in 3 months, you're not being patient — you're standing still.
NutriPaw made the call to rotate. Within four experiments, we identified and fixed the structural issues that their previous team had been dancing around for months. The result wasn't incremental — it was transformational: subscription take rate more than doubled, conversions jumped nearly 20%, and the projected annual revenue impact exceeded £4M.
The lesson is simple. CRO isn't about running more tests. It's about running the right tests — the ones that attack the structural leaks in your offer, your funnel, and your value communication. Everything else is noise.
If you're a 7–9 figure DTC brand leaving subscription revenue on the table, let's find your £4M.
