DTC Brands Optimizing Their Shopping Experiences

To drive new business, the household products marketplace Grove Collaborative is no longer requiring people to become members or subscribe to place an order. Here's what you need to know:

• Customers reported that the Grove website was too restrictive as they had to register to shop and their orders were placed on subscription by default.
• Moving forward, shoppers can check out as a one-time order and choose how often shipments arrive, receiving an initial 20% off and 5% off future orders.
• The change came as Grove reported a 19.4% decrease in year-over-year sales.
• The company sold to more than 5 million customers, but as many as 4 million have been inactive in the past year, so it is a big opportunity to reintroduce Grove to them with their new shopping experience.
• To let former shoppers know about their changes, they are considering experimenting with new marketing strategies including Google paid search, social ads, and influencer marketing.
