Two tests worth running / proposed

What we'd test next.

Recommendations to try, not confirmed strategies. Compare randomly assigned groups within the eligible audience and read the KPI alongside incremental margin.

Test 1

Convenient format for repurchase

Trigger / audience
First-time buyer declares format preference
Proposed action
Offer repurchase in the chosen format and explain sizes
Main KPI
Net second order per initial buyer
Measurement window
One complete purchase/renewal cycle; set duration with historical data before the test

Test 2

Subscription versus pack

Trigger / audience
Repeat buyer with stable consumption
Proposed action
Compare appropriately cadenced subscription with a one-off purchase pack
Main KPI
Margin retained per customer after completing two deliveries
Measurement window
One complete purchase/renewal cycle; set duration with historical data before the test

Evidence limit

Health benefits are not validated, nor is the retention of the initial kit known. No product has been purchased and no customer inbox has been observed.
