Listen "235: Is Your Messaging Costing You Subscribers?"
Episode Synopsis
For many subscription box owners, the silent killer of conversions isn’t a lack of traffic, it’s unclear messaging.
Your box might be beautifully curated and full of value, but if visitors can’t understand what it is, who it’s for, and why it matters in 10 seconds or less, they’re leaving.
In this episode, Sarah breaks down exactly what strong subscription box messaging looks like, where most subscription box owners go wrong, and how to improve your message across your entire customer journey.
Messaging isn’t just your homepage headline. It’s the story you’re telling everywhere: on your sales page, product listing, Instagram bio, emails, checkout page, even your cancellation flow.
You understand your subscription box because you live in it, but your customer doesn’t. Clarity must come first.
