FORET | DTC Brand
Overview
FORET is a premium Spanish DTC brand specializing in mushroom supplements and nootropic blends. The brand offers carefully formulated products combining functional mushrooms (Lion's Mane, Cordyceps, Reishi) with Mediterranean herbs, focusing on cognitive enhancement and immune support. What sets FORET apart is its science-backed formulations, sustainable practices, and sophisticated brand identity that brings premium wellness supplements to the modern consumer
Challenge
Despite having excellent products and strong initial sales, FORET faced several critical challenges in scaling their DTC business:

- Low repeat purchase rates (only 18% of customers made a second purchase within 90 days)
- Difficulty conveying complex product benefits through digital channels
- Need to justify premium pricing in an increasingly crowded supplement market
The brand needed to transform their email marketing to address these challenges while maintaining their premium positioning and scientific credibility.

- Created post-purchase education sequences to ensure product satisfaction
- Implemented smart replenishment reminders based on usage patterns
Lifetime Value Enhancement

- Created subscription-focused flows highlighting convenience and savings
- Implemented seasonal wellness campaigns promoting routine building
Results
- 47.8% reduction in cart abandonment rate
- 89.2% increase in repeat purchase rate within 90 days
- Average customer lifetime value increased by 156%
- Subscription rate improved from 12% to 31% of total orders

Terra Nostra | DTC Brand
Overview
Terra Nostra is a Rome-based food delivery service that's bringing the tradition of Italian home cooking into the modern age. Each week, subscribers receive a box of fresh, seasonal ingredients sourced from a network of small farms across Italy, along with recipes for traditional dishes that highlight these ingredients.
Founded by siblings Marco and Sofia Rossi, whose family has owned a small farm outside Rome for generations, Terra Nostra connects urban dwellers with the flavors and traditions of rural Italy. What sets Terra Nostra apart is its commitment to preserving traditional Italian recipes and supporting small-scale, sustainable agriculture.
Challenge
The company has seen success in several major Italian cities, building strong relationships with local farmers and a loyal customer base who appreciate the connection to their culinary heritage. Now, Terra Nostra is looking to expand to other European countries and increase customer retention rates.
Solution
Developing welcome sequences for new customers, creating content that highlights the farmers and regional specialties, and designing reactivation campaigns for customers who have paused their subscriptions. The challenge was to craft emails that not only drive sales but also foster a deeper connection between customers and Italian food culture.
Results

- 87.2% increase in conversion on reconversion campaigns.
