About Laundry Sauce

Laundry Sauce is famed for creating "THE WORLD'S BEST SMELLING LAUNDRY DETERGENT". Laundry Sauce, launched in 2020, have built a category-defining product and company rooted in creating the worlds best smelling laundry detergent as a blur between art and a science. The belief that when you smell your best, look your best, and feel your best, has propelled Laundry Sauce to quickly become a household name within the eCommerce and home-goods categories.


The Problem

A key focus for Laundry Sauce was to increase their online subscribers, as the product really lends itself to a habitual usage and this was a core part of their overall eCommerce strategy. As with many eCommerce brands, Laundry Sauce has really focused their eCommerce business on repeatable monthly revenue from subscriptions - allowing them to invest heavily in growing their entire operation. However, after looking at their customer journey, they came to see that only a small percentage of their customers who had ordered OTP (one-time purchase) had gone on to become subscribers, which provided both a large problem and opportunity to improve.


If Laundry Sauce were able to capture even a small percentage of those OTP's to become product subscribers, it would add an entirely new recurring revenue stream and reduce the heavy acquisition costs associated with acquiring a subscriber on their first order. This is where Relo teamed up with Laundry Sauce to overcome the issues with identifying and targeting those customers ready for a subscription, and making the transition easy. Here's Ian Blair, Founder at Laundry Sauce, commenting on the problems faced prior to Relo:

“Before Relo, our strategy to convert one-time buyers into subscribers was inefficient. We sent generic "time to reorder" emails based on average purchase cycles, which didn’t resonate with individual customer needs.”

How Laundry Sauce solved this using Relo

The first step was to discover exactly which customers were ready to move to a subscription. This would usually have been a very lengthly, manual, and complex step involving data science to define what we thought customers would do next. With Relo, this took minutes.

Laundry Sauce integrated Relo to their Shopify store to create a targetable list of customers that were ready to move from their OTP's to a subscription in the next 30-days (Note - Relo integrates with all modern Shopify Subscription apps, including Recharge, Skio, Yotpo Subscriptions and Smartrr. Please email us here if you have a question about any other subscription software you work with). Relo uses logic like which products have been ordered, in which volume, over which timeframe, and how that aligns with what other "lookalike" audiences have done before.

Here is an example of how those customer predictions looked for Laundry Sauce (Anonymised). Within minutes, they had a really specific list of who's ready to target, when, and with which product:

Syncing the data to Klaviyo

However, once we have that list - what next? To make this audience as actionable as possible, Relo then seamlessly feeds that data into your Klaviyo flow's as a dynamic trigger - firing the SMS and email flow at the exact right time a customer is ready to try a subscription. Within a few clicks, Laundry Sauce  had all of that data flowing into their Klaviyo account with a whole new "upgrade to subscription" flow:

“Relo's upgrade to subscription functionality has allowed us to send personalized emails at the right time, based on customer purchase history, directly leading to a tailored landing page that encourages subscription sign-ups, increasing our subscription revenue and customer retention.”

Better conversion with Magic Cart

Once Laundry Sauce  had highlighted which customers were ready to try a subscription and connected that data to Klaviyo - the last step was conversion to subscription. The previously clunky experience where customers were taken from a CTA in a Klaviyo email, through to a product page, to a cart page and then an empty checkout wouldn't cut it here.

The last step in the journey is the where Relo's secret weapon comes into play - the Magic Cart. Magic Cart is a mobile optimised personalised cart-page that allows customers to easily convert to a subscription in 2-clicks. The Magic Cart is:

  1. Mobile first
  2. Pre loaded with a recommended subscription frequency based on their OTP order history
  3. Personalized with add-on product recommendations
  4. Connected to a pre-loaded Shopify checkout
  5. Customized in a few clicks to your brand

For Laundry Sauce  this meant that within every email CTA that Relo was powering, they could embed a Magic Cart Link for easy conversion straight to subscription. In this instance, let's have a look at this customers (Michelle) Magic Cart link after they click on the CTA in the email:

When the customer clicks on the "subscribe now" CTA above, they would be taken to their Magic Cart here:

Here's Ian Blair, Founder at Laundry Sauce, commenting on working with Relo:

“I'm most impressed by Relo’s machine learning capabilities that provide personalized product recommendations and streamline subscription management, significantly reducing cancellation rates.”

The results

By implementing Relo, Laundry Sauce were able to increase the amount of new subscribers gained from OTP's by 9%! The combination of prediction which customers were ready, syncing that data to Klaviyo, and converting to subscription via Magic Cart helped supercharge recurring revenue with almost no time investment required from their side.

The results were so impactful across the business, that Relo's Upgrade to Subscription flow has become one of Laundry Sauce top performing Klaviyo flows.

To recap, the core KPI's Laundry Sauce was able to move by combining Relo with their subscription set-up:

  1. Increased OTP to subscription by 9%
  2. Top performing Klaviyo flow
  3. 19x ROI
