A Hair Care Brand Struggling with Profitability

This hair care brand had developed a highly effective, naturally formulated product line, but low pricing and razor-thin margins made it difficult to scale profitably. Despite strong initial interest, the brand struggled to break even, as customer acquisition costs (CAC) consumed most of the revenue

Additionally, the brand had no structured strategy for customer retention, leading to a reliance on continuous ad spend to drive sales. Without a sustainable way to increase Lifetime Value (LTV) and Average Order Value (AOV), long-term growth remained out of reach.

Floca Media and the SEGA Program implemented a strategic overhaul to shift the brand’s trajectory—focusing on profitability, retention, and sustainable scaling.

Challenges Faced by the Brand

  • Low Pricing & Profit Margins: Products were priced too low to sustain advertising costs and long-term profitability.
  •  
  • No Retention Model: Customers made one-time purchases with no incentive to return.
  •  
  • Underutilized Subscription & Refill Options: Without an auto-replenishment system, customers had no structured way to maintain their hair care routines.
  •  
  • Weak Perceived Value: The product’s true benefits weren’t effectively communicated, making it hard to justify a price adjustment.
  •  
  • Over-Reliance on Paid Media for Sales: Without a strong LTV strategy, the brand was caught in a cycle of spending more to acquire new customers without maximizing their lifetime potential.

Shifting from Low Margins to Long-Term Profitability

To position the brand for sustainable growth, we conducted a competitive analysis and implemented a strategic price adjustment.

 

Premium Positioning

Instead of competing on price, we highlighted the unique formulations, clean ingredients, and salon-quality results—shifting customer focus from affordability to effectiveness.

Value-Driven Messaging

Updated product descriptions, landing pages, and ad creatives to reinforce the long-term benefits of consistent use, justifying the price increase.

Bundling for Higher AOV

Introduced multi-product sets to encourage customers to purchase full routines instead of single products.

Introducing a Subscription & Refill Model

One of the biggest missed opportunities was the lack of a subscription option. SEGA introduced:

Auto-Replenishment for Key Products

Customers could subscribe and save, ensuring they never ran out of their essentials.

Loyalty-Driven Membership

Customers who subscribed gained access to exclusive discounts, personalized hair care advice, and early product launches.

Refill Packaging Initiative

A sustainable refill program was introduced, reducing costs for returning customers and increasing LTV.

Retention-First Paid Media Strategy

With higher margins and a structured LTV model in place, SEGA restructured paid media efforts to focus on profitable growth rather than constant acquisition.
