Price Rise + New Tiers Go Live

Type: Milestone | Priority: HIGH | Date: 16 March 2026

Pricing Change Details

Old 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

This is a price increase only — the product remains the same single digital-only tier. The three-tier structure (Base/Grower/Pro) with physical welcome kits launches one week later on 23 March.

What Needs Updating on 16 March

Stripe:

  • Update GIL+ pricing to $11/mo and $99/yr
  • Ensure existing $80/yr subscribers are grandfathered (confirm renewal behavior)

Website:

  • /plus page: Update pricing to $11/mo or $99/yr
  • All pricing mentions across site
  • Remove urgency banner from Pre-Price Rise campaign
  • Add teaser: “New tiers with welcome packs launching 23 March”

Meta Ads:

  • Update all active ad copy with new pricing ($99/yr, not $80/yr)
  • Pause any ads still referencing old pricing
  • Creative refresh can wait until 23 March when welcome packs launch

Email:

  • Update signup confirmation emails with new pricing
  • Update trial reminder emails

Channel Strategy (Post-Change)

Email:

  • Post-change value reinforcement email to non-subscribers
  • “Welcome packs launching 23 March” teaser to existing members
  • No urgency — this is transition/anticipation messaging

Social:

  • Announce new pricing with value focus (what you get for $99/yr)
  • Tease welcome packs launching next week
  • Member testimonials and results

Meta Ads:

  • Update pricing in all active campaigns
  • Hold major creative refresh until 23 March welcome pack launch

Website:

  • Pricing updated across all pages
  • Note: Full three-tier /plus page redesign launches 23 March

Notes

⚠️ This is JUST the price increase. The three-tier structure (Base $99 / Grower $169 / Pro $249) with physical welcome kits launches 23 March — one week later. Keep messaging focused on value at the new price point and tease what’s coming.

Three tiers, more value, and a growing community to match. Here's what's new.

Body

Hey {{first_name}},
Big news -- GIL+ just got an upgrade. We've launched three new membership tiers, each designed to match how you grow.
GIL+ Base -- $99/yr or $12/mo
Everything you need to get started: quarterly heirloom seed deliveries, expert growing guides, 15% off the GIL shop, and full community access.
GIL+ Grower -- $169/yr
For the keen grower ready to level up. Everything in Base, plus the Grower Kit, deeper content, and priority support.
GIL+ Pro -- $249/yr
The full experience. Everything in Grower, plus the Pro Kit, 20% shop discount, and exclusive access to workshops and events.
Every annual plan comes with a 30-day free trial, so you can explore everything before you commit. And if you're already a GIL+ member, your current plan is locked in -- nothing changes unless you want to upgrade.
Plus, welcome packs and starter kits are landing next week. More on that soon.

GIL+ now comes in three options. Here's how to choose the right one for you.

Body

Hey {{first_name}},
We've been building towards this for a while, and today it's live: GIL+ now has three membership tiers.
The idea is simple -- not everyone grows the same way, so your membership shouldn't be one-size-fits-all.
Just getting started? GIL+ Base ($99/yr or $12/mo) gives you quarterly heirloom seeds, growing guides, and 15% off the shop. It's everything you need to build confidence in your patch.
Already growing and want more? GIL+ Grower ($169/yr) adds the Grower Kit, expanded expert content, and priority workshop access. This is for the grower who wants to go deeper.
Want the full experience? GIL+ Pro ($249/yr) includes everything plus a Pro Kit, 20% off the shop, and exclusive sessions with Costa, Paul West, and the crew.
Every annual plan starts with a 30-day free trial. No lock-in.

We've launched three tiers so your membership matches how you actually garden.

Body

Hey {{first_name}},
When we asked our community what they wanted from GIL+, the answer was clear: more options. Some of you wanted the essentials. Others wanted everything we could throw at you. Most of you were somewhere in between.
So we built three tiers:
Base ($99/yr or $12/mo) -- quarterly seeds, expert guides, 15% shop discount, community access. The foundation.
Grower ($169/yr) -- everything in Base, plus a Grower Kit delivered to your door, deeper expert content, and priority workshop access. For growers who are ready for more.
Pro ($249/yr) -- the works. Pro Kit, 20% off the shop, exclusive expert sessions, and first access to everything new we launch. This is the full GIL+ experience.
All annual plans include a 30-day free trial. And if you're already a member, your plan hasn't changed -- though upgrading is easy if you want to.

We built this for you. Literally. 💚 When we surveyed our community last year, the number one request was: "Give us more options." So we did. GIL+ now comes in Base, Grower, and Pro. Same great community. Same quarterly seeds. Same expert advice. But now you choose how deep you want to go. Grower and Pro members get welcome kits (launching next week), expanded content, and workshop access. Pro members get exclusive expert sessions and 20% off the shop. 30-day free trial on all annual plans. Link in bio.
