Notes
PRODUCT LAUNCH: This is the big moment. All conversion creative needs updating. The messaging shifts from “lock in pricing” (Pre-Price Rise campaign) to “choose your tier + get your welcome kit.”
Kit contents: Confirm exact contents of Grower and Pro kits with product team before finalising copy. These details are critical for conversion messaging.
Upgrade path: Existing Base members should have a clear, friction-free way to upgrade to Grower or Pro. This is a revenue opportunity — don’t bury it.
