From one purchase to a daily habit.

The challenge

Olly is a wellness brand with strong retail distribution and a mobile-first audience, about 80% of its site traffic. After a purchase, Olly had little insight into whether customers used or benefited from the product. There was no smooth way to bring a customer who bought in a store into the brand's digital experience, and rewards were hard to find and not tied to how customers actually behave.

The opportunity is large: according to AlixPartners, the vitamins, minerals and supplements market topped $125 billion in 2025 and the vitamins and supplements segment is projected to grow 11% through 2027, and Grand View Research puts the U.S. dietary supplements market at more than $68 billion in 2025, growing about 8.5% a year through 2033.

The build

A UX and UI assessment.

A success workshop aligned the team on goals, then we reviewed the current experience and mapped the customer journey, and finished with recommendations and concept screens.

The roadmap has five parts: a vitamin tracker with daily reminders, bottle progress and a wellness diary; subscription management with suggestions based on progress and self-reported needs; a rewards program that links consistent use, reviews and sharing to points or discounts, with a more dynamic interface modeled on high-performing app-based programs such as Quip; onboarding that collects goals and preferences early to shape recommendations and content; and scan-to-engage codes on packaging that connect a customer to the app or a product page.

For in-store buyers, the roadmap suggests tools such as meOrigin or care/of to log purchases after the fact, and importing product details so a customer can reorder and give feedback even when the purchase was made through a third party such as Amazon.

The result

The roadmap is designed to improve retention through personalization, subscription management and a wellness diary, and to draw offline buyers into Olly's digital experience with scan-based features. Clearer rewards linked to behavior are designed to raise participation, and feedback and usage data are designed to give Olly a better view of how customers use its products.
