How Wellbell Got to 87% Subscription (Offer, Education, and Retention Playbook)
Subscription Prescription | Weekly Doses to Boost Ecommerce RevenueShow Notes
In this episode of Subscription Prescription, I’m joined by Hattie Gilpin, Director of Operations at Wellbel (a hair, skin, and nail supplement brand that’s ~87% subscription) and a founder of HAM, a new analytics platform built for subscription operators.
We dig into the real problems subscription brands face when their data is split across tools (or disappears after platform migrations), and how operators can get clarity without staring at 50 reports.
Hattie also shares what’s helped Wellbel build a subscription-heavy business: education-first onboarding, community-driven insights, and an intentional retention strategy that actually matches how customers consume the product.
What we cover: Why subscription brands lose critical history during migrations — and how to prevent it How Wellbell drives subscription adoption without forcing subscription-only The onboarding + education playbook to reduce “it’s not working” cancellations Using post-purchase + support data to find holes in the customer journey How to think about cohort performance: offers, billing cycles, variants, and seasonality A simple “crash course” on subscription analytics (what to look at first) For more insights like these, subscribe to our weekly newsletter: https://newsletter.thesubscriptiondoc.com

Everyone chasing a 3:1 LTV to CAC ratio is chasing a number that came out of the pandemic ecom boom, and most brands could not survive it if LTV is measured in revenue dollars over 12 months. Until you define the margin and the time window, that ratio tells you almost nothing about the health of your business.
I hate aggressive discounting when you are trying to get someone in the door. But when a subscriber clicks cancel, increasing the discount is usually the right call, and the math is simple: most of those people are gone next month anyway, so one more profitable order is a win.
Most brands leave the post-purchase page empty, or they fill it with random add-ons nobody asked for. Meanwhile, merchants offering a monthly-to-quarterly subscription upgrade on that same screen are converting 20 to 30% of buyers in a single click.
Your subscribers are your most profitable customers. Run a 50% off sitewide sale for Black Friday and a lot of them will cancel just to grab it. That is the BFCM trap I see every year, and the fix is not to skip the sale. It is to layer your offers so subscribing stays the best deal on the site.
If you have to launch a hundred new ad creatives every week just to keep spend flowing, the problem is not your ads. It is your positioning.
