  • 23 March: Three-tier structure launches (this campaign)

Launch Strategy

This is a product launch, not just a price change. The focus is on the new physical welcome kits and the value of upgrading to Grower or Pro tiers.

Channel Strategy

Email:

  • Launch announcement to all subscribers and warm leads
  • Tier upgrade email to existing Base ($99/yr) members: “Upgrade to Grower or Pro”
  • Update new subscriber welcome sequence to present all three tier options
  • Segmentation: trial users, existing members, lapsed members, non-subscribers

Social:

  • Unboxing content for Grower and Pro kits (Reels/TikTok/Stories)
  • Flat-lay photography showcasing kit contents
  • Partnership content if kits include partner products
  • UGC from beta testers/early adopters
  • “Which tier are you?” comparison posts
  • Member testimonials by tier

Meta Ads:

  • Refresh ALL conversion creative with welcome pack imagery
  • Test tier-specific ad sets (Base vs. Grower vs. Pro)
  • Retarget existing Base members with Grower/Pro upgrade ads
  • Increased budget for launch window (23 March – mid-April)
  • Creative angles: unboxing, value proposition, tier comparison

Website:

  • /plus page redesign — full three-tier layout with:
    • Pricing comparison table
    • Kit photography and contents list
    • “Choose your tier” CTA flow
    • FAQ section addressing tier differences
  • Update all pricing mentions across site
  • Update trial signup flow to present tier options
  • Product photography and lifestyle shots

Creative Assets Needed

  • Grower kit unboxing video (Reel/TikTok)
  • Pro kit unboxing video (Reel/TikTok)
  • Flat-lay photography of both kits
  • Lifestyle photography (kits in use)
  • Meta ad creative (static + video) for all three tiers
  • Email header graphics
  • /plus page redesign with tier comparison
  • Kit contents list (copywriting)

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.

Hey {{first_name}},
We've heard from a lot of people over the years that the hardest part of growing food isn't the growing itself -- it's knowing where to start.
So we fixed that.
Every new GIL+ member now gets a welcome pack when they join. Seeds, guides, and everything you need to go from "I'd like to grow something" to actually growing it.
Grower and Pro members get even more -- starter kits with quality tools, expanded seed selections, and resources curated by Costa, Paul West, Mel, and our expert team.
No need to research what to buy. No overwhelming trips to the garden centre. Just open the box and get started.
Every annual plan includes a 30-day free trial. Your welcome pack ships as soon as you join.

Hey {{first_name}},
Quick update for you as a GIL+ Base member.
We've just launched welcome packs and starter kits for our Grower and Pro tiers, and they're worth a look.
The Grower Kit ($169/yr) comes with quality tools and seeds curated by our experts, plus everything you already love about Base. Think of it as your membership levelled up -- deeper content, priority workshop access, and a physical kit delivered to your door.
The Pro Kit ($249/yr) goes even further. Premium tools, expanded seed selection, exclusive extras, and 20% off the shop (that's an extra 5% on top of your current discount).
Both kits are included in the membership -- no extra cost on top.

5% more off the shop (and more)

Upgrade to Pro for 20% off everything plus a premium starter kit delivered to you.

Body

Hey {{first_name}},
As a GIL+ Base member, you already get 15% off in the shop. But did you know that Pro members get 20%?
That extra 5% adds up quickly -- especially if you're buying seeds, tools, or seasonal bundles throughout the year. And now, Pro members also receive a premium starter kit delivered to their door.
Here's what upgrading to Pro ($249/yr) gets you on top of your current Base plan:

  • Pro Kit with premium tools and expanded seed selection
  • 20% off the entire GIL shop (up from 15%)
  • Exclusive expert sessions with Costa, Paul West, and the crew
  • First access to everything new we launch
    Or if Pro feels like a jump, Grower ($169/yr) is a solid middle ground -- Grower Kit, expanded content, and priority workshop access.
    Upgrading is easy and you only pay the difference.

New GIL+ starter kits have everything you need -- delivered to your door.

Body

Hey {{first_name}},
We've always believed the best way to start growing is to just start. But we also know that "just start" is easier said than done when you don't know what you need.
So we built welcome packs and starter kits for new GIL+ members. Everything curated. Everything delivered. No guesswork.
The Grower Kit comes with GIL+ Grower ($169/yr). Quality tools, expert-picked seeds, and a getting-started guide that actually makes sense. It's designed to get you from zero to growing in a weekend.
The Pro Kit comes with GIL+ Pro ($249/yr). Premium tools, expanded seed selection, exclusive extras, and the confidence that you've got the best gear from day one.
Both include a 30-day free trial on annual plans. Your kit ships as soon as you join.

We asked Costa and the crew to build the perfect starter kit. Here it is.

Body

Hey {{first_name}},
We asked our experts one question: "If someone was starting their first food garden tomorrow, what would you give them?"
Their answers became our new welcome packs and starter kits.
The Grower Kit (included with GIL+ Grower at $169/yr) is the practical starter -- quality tools and seeds chosen by people who actually know what works. No gimmicks, no fluff, just the gear that makes a real difference.
The Pro Kit (included with GIL+ Pro at $249/yr) is for growers who want the top shelf. Premium tools, expanded seed selection, and extras hand-picked by Costa, Paul West, and the crew.
Both kits ship to your door when you join. Both tiers include a 30-day free trial on annual plans.

Segmentation note: Base members get an upgrade-focused version. Non-members get the full pitch. Grower/Pro members get a "your kit is coming" version.
