Pre-Price Rise Urgency Campaign

Type: Campaign | Priority: HIGH | Date: 9–15 March 2026

Pricing Context

Current pricing (until ~16 March):

  • GIL+ (single tier): $8/mo or $80/yr

New pricing (from ~16 March):

  • GIL+ (single tier): $11/mo or $99/yr

Price increase:

  • Monthly: +$3/mo ($8 → $11)
  • Annual: +$19/yr ($80 → $99)

This campaign runs 9–15 March to create urgency for locking in the $80/yr rate before it increases to $99/yr on 16 March. The messaging should be transparent and helpful (not manipulative) — positioned as “fair warning so you can lock in current rates.”

Note: The three-tier structure (Base/Grower/Pro) launches on 23 March with physical welcome kits. This campaign is purely about the price increase on the existing digital-only GIL+ product.

Channel Strategy

Email: Three-touch sequence

  • Launch email: “GIL+ pricing is changing on 16 March”
  • Mid-week reminder: Value reinforcement + countdown
  • Last day email: Final push — “Lock in $80/yr today”

Social: Value-focused content

  • Value breakdowns (what you get for $80/yr vs. $99/yr)
  • Member testimonials and results
  • Countdown posts (3 days, 1 day, today)

Meta Ads: HIGH budget conversion push

  • Retarget warm audiences (site visitors, awards engagers, content consumers, email openers)
  • Increased spend window for this 7-day period
  • Creative focus: price comparison and value at current rate

Website: Site-wide urgency

  • Urgency banner across all pages: “Lock in $80/yr before pricing changes on 16 March”
  • Pricing comparison table (current vs. new) on /plus page
  • Remove banner after 16 March

Notes

Lock in current pricing before ~16 March price rise. Campaign runs 9–15 March. This is a pure price increase urgency play — no new features or tiers yet. Those launch 23 March.

Lock in the current rate before 16 March -- here's what you need to know.

Body

Hey {{first_name}},
Heads up -- GIL+ pricing is changing on 16 March.
We're introducing new tiers with more features, more value, and more ways to grow. But the current pricing won't be around much longer.
Right now, you can start a 30-day free trial on our annual plan and lock in today's rate. That means you get everything GIL+ offers -- quarterly heirloom seed deliveries, expert growing guides, member discounts, and more -- at the price it is right now.
After 16 March, the new tier structure kicks in and pricing goes up. If you've been thinking about joining, this is the time.
[Start Your Free Trial Before Prices Change]
No lock-in contracts. No tricks. Just a fair heads-up from us to you.
Happy growing,

We promised to always be straight with you. GIL+ pricing is going up.

Body

Hey {{first_name}},
We want to be upfront about something. GIL+ pricing is increasing on 16 March, and we'd rather you heard it from us now than be surprised later.
Here's why: we're building new membership tiers with more features, better resources, and welcome packs for Grower and Pro members. That means the cost of running GIL+ is going up -- so the pricing needs to match.
But here's the thing. If you start your 30-day free trial before 16 March, you lock in the current annual rate. Same seeds. Same expert advice from Costa, Paul West, Mel, and the crew. Same 15% shop discount. Just at today's price.
[Lock In the Current Rate]
We're not ones for pressure tactics, so we'll leave it with you. But if GIL+ has been on your list, the next couple of weeks are worth acting on.
Happy growing,

    After 16 March, pricing changes. New tiers are coming with more options, but the current rate disappears.
    If you start your 30-day free trial now, you lock in $99/yr. Simple as that.

Hey {{first_name}},
This is your final nudge. GIL+ pricing changes tomorrow, 16 March.
After that, the current rate is gone. We're moving to a new tier structure with more options, but the entry price is going up.
If you start your 30-day free trial today, you lock in the current annual rate. That's quarterly heirloom seed deliveries, expert guides, 15% off the GIL shop, and full access to everything GIL+ has to offer -- at the price it is right now.
Tomorrow, the new pricing goes live. We won't be sending another reminder.

Hey {{first_name}},
Short and sweet: GIL+ pricing changes tomorrow.
We've mentioned it a couple of times now, but this is the last you'll hear from us about it. After 16 March, the current rate is gone and new tiers take over.
Over 2,000 members have already locked in the current price. If you've been sitting on the fence, today is the day to jump off it.

Same trial, same 30 days free -- but after tomorrow, the annual rate jumps.

Body

Hey {{first_name}},
Here's something worth knowing: the 30-day free trial you can start today is the same one that'll be available after 16 March. Same length. Same access. Same everything.
The difference? The annual rate you lock in after the trial.
Start today and you get GIL+ at the current price -- quarterly heirloom seeds, expert advice from Costa and the crew, 15% off the shop, and the Grow Along seasonal guide. All at today's rate.
Start after tomorrow and you'll pay the new tier pricing.
The trial is free either way. But today's rate is the better deal.

GIL+ is changing on 16 March. Here's what it means for you.

Hey {{first_name}},
We believe in being straight with our community, so here it is: GIL+ pricing is going up on 16 March.
We're introducing three new membership tiers -- Base, Grower, and Pro -- with more features at each level. Welcome packs, starter kits, and expanded expert content are all in the pipeline. To deliver all of that, the pricing needs to change.
But we wanted to make sure you had the chance to join at the current rate first.
If you start your 30-day free trial before 16 March, your annual price stays where it is now. No fine print. No surprises down the track.

We'll share full details of the new tiers when they launch. For now, if you've been curious about GIL+, the best deal is the one that's live right now.

Quarterly seeds, expert advice, shop discounts -- and the price goes up 16 March.

Hey {{first_name}},
Let's talk about what GIL+ actually gives you for $99 a year:
Every quarter: A delivery of heirloom seeds -- 20 varieties in the Rainbow Range, chosen by our experts for your growing season.
Every day: Access to growing guides and advice from Costa, Paul West, Mel Logozzo, Hannah Moloney, and more.
Every time you shop: 15% off everything in the GIL shop.
Right now: The Grow Along seasonal planting guide, so you always know what to plant and when.
That's $99/yr. Or $12/mo if you'd rather go monthly (though the free trial is only on annual plans).
On 16 March, pricing changes. New tiers launch with higher price points. Members who join before then keep today's rate.

Final reminder: GIL+ pricing changes 16 March. Today is the last day.

Body

Hey {{first_name}},
This is the last email we'll send about the GIL+ price change. We promised ourselves we wouldn't overdo it, and three emails feels like the right number.
So here's where things stand: tomorrow (16 March), the current GIL+ rate disappears. New tiers launch, pricing goes up, and the $99/yr annual plan as it exists today is done.
If you've read the previous emails and thought "I'll do it later" -- later is now.
Start your 30-day free trial today. Lock in the current rate. Try everything GIL+ has to offer. And if it's not for you, cancel before the trial ends and you pay nothing.

No hard feelings either way. But we wanted you to have every chance.

The maths on GIL+ (last day)

Preview Text
73/90

What you get vs what you pay -- and why today matters more than tomorrow.

Body

Hey {{first_name}},
Quick bit of maths for you:
GIL+ costs $99/yr. That works out to about $1.90 a week. For that, you get four heirloom seed deliveries a year, 15% off every shop purchase, expert advice from Costa and the crew, and the Grow Along seasonal guide.
A single punnet of seedlings at the hardware store costs more than a week of GIL+. Just saying.
Tomorrow, pricing changes. The new tiers start higher. Today is the last day to lock in $99/yr with a 30-day free trial.
