The Challenge
Soylent faced a problem most brands dread: ongoing production issues that left key products out of stock. Soylent needed a retention strategy that could hold customer attention and drive revenue even when their hero products weren't available.
Amplify built a two-part strategy designed to protect revenue and strengthen customer relationships through the disruption:
Educational Engagement Campaigns
Launched content-driven campaigns to keep Soylent top of mind and prime customers to buy the moment products returned.
Category Cross-Sell Strategy
Built targeted campaigns to shift demand toward in-stock product categories customers hadn't tried.
Flow Optimization
Rebuilt automated flows to reflect current inventory, routing customers toward available products.
List Health & Engagement Focus
Kept the list warm and deliverability high so subscribers were ready for the full restock push.
Despite ongoing inventory constraints, every key metric trended in the right direction.
- +35% total revenue vs. previous period
- +49.5% conversion rate on email campaigns
- +52% Revenue Per Recipient — Each subscriber delivering significantly more value per send
- +383% Email Click Rate (MoM) — Educational content and cross-sell campaigns drove massive engagement gains
- +17.9% Revenue Per Message (MoM) — More revenue from every send, even with limited inventory
Most brands pull back when inventory runs short. Amplify leaned in and Soylent's numbers proved the strategy right.
