Our Solutions

Phase # 1

DISCOVEY

•

Reframed MeatMe’s value proposition from “butchery delivery” to a premium, hassle-free subscription experience, improving perceived differentiation.

•

Analyzed the competitive landscape (traditional butchers, supermarkets, delivery apps) to identify where subscriptions could win on convenience and quality.

•

Clarified the primary digital buyer profile and purchase triggers, focusing on high-intent household decision-makers.

•

Identified where users dropped off between ad click and subscription checkout, exposing major funnel leakage.

Phase # 2

PLANNING

•

Designed a full ad-to-subscription commerce funnel, mapping awareness, retargeting, and conversion stages.

•

Defined conversion benchmarks and CPA targets to align growth decisions with profitability.

•

Planned tracking architecture (pixel events, purchase signals, retargeting pools) before scaling spend.

•

Validated product–market fit through live market signals, and subscription uptake, to confirm demand assumptions.

•

Mapped the digital order-to-fulfillment flow, ensuring payments, subscriptions, and delivery handoffs were clearly defined before scaling demand.

•

Defined operational guardrails and volume thresholds, aligning marketing scale decisions with fulfillment capacity to prevent growth from breaking the system.

Phase # 3

EXECUTION

•

Implemented a CRM system to centralize customer data, and track acquisition-to-repeat behavior, instead of manual or fragmented workflows.

•

Structured offers and messaging to educate the market on why subscriptions outperform traditional purchases.

•

Migrated and stabilized the commerce platform and payments stack, ensuring reliable checkout, to remove friction from digital purchases.

•

Operationalized the end-to-end order-to-cash process, aligning marketing-driven demand with fulfillment, returns, and delivery workflows to maintain service quality as volume increased.

•

Activated content across owned channels, educating customers on subscription value, and supporting both acquisition and retention post-purchase.

Phase # 4

MARKETING PARTNER

Optimized campaigns weekly based on performance signals, using conversion data and funnel metrics to guide budget allocation and creative decisions.
