OLLY

Designing for the Consumer

Olly is a leading wellness brand known for its vibrant, effective, and easy-to-understand vitamins and supplements. With a mission to simplify health, Olly delivers delightfully flavored products designed to support modern lifestyles—from sleep and energy to mood and immunity. While Olly maintains a strong retail presence through partnerships with major stores, its direct-to-consumer (DTC) digital platform plays a growing role in consumer engagement, loyalty, and retention.

Reinventing the Mobile DTC Experience

As competition in the wellness and supplement (VMS) market intensifies and digital behaviors evolve, Olly sought to elevate its mobile DTC strategy.

THE SOLUTION

The company recognized growing customer expectations for digital experiences—but lacked clarity on how to prioritize and deliver value.

The Customer Journey Assessment

There was no smooth transition to engage customers digitally after an in-store purchase—once customers received their products, Olly had minimal insight into whether they were using or benefiting from them.

While 80% of traffic was mobile, the experience was not optimized for retention or ongoing interaction. Rewards were hard to find and not well integrated into customer behaviors.

Based on the assessment, Shockoe provided several strategic recommendations to address improvement and innovation across the mobile DTC experience.

Digital Engagement Enhancements

Vitamin Tracker App Experience:

  • A native mobile feature allowing users to
  • Receive daily reminders to take their vitamins.
  • Track progress through bottle consumption.
  • Log and share wellness feedback in a personal “Wellness Diary.”

Subscription Management Tools:

  • Enable users to seamlessly manage or renew their subscriptions.
  • Offer product suggestions based on progress and self-reported needs (e.g., “Still feeling tired? Try our new energy gummies.”).
Loyalty and Personalization

Revamped Rewards Program:

  • Link behaviors (e.g., consistent product use, reviews, social sharing) to points or discounts.
  • Deliver a more dynamic rewards interface, modeled after high-performing systems like Quip’s app-based engagement.

Smarter Onboarding & Recommendations:

  • Collect user goals, preferences, and behaviors early in the mobile experience.
  • Dynamically adjust product recommendations and content based on this data.
  • Push informative content about supplement benefits and routines directly into the app experience.
Physical-Digital Connection

QR Code & Scan-to-Engage Features:

  • Customers can scan a code on packaging to connect to the app or product-specific DTC page.
  • Integrate with tools like meOrigin or care/of for retroactive in-store purchase logging.
  • Allow users to import product details, reorder easily, and submit feedback—even if the purchase happened through a third party like Amazon.
Identified Impacts

Customer Retention: Personalization, subscription management, and wellness diaries will foster ongoing engagement and repeat purchases. QR and scan-based features will draw offline buyers into Olly’s digital ecosystem.

Greater Loyalty Participation: Improved rewards visibility and behavior-linked points will incentivize more consistent engagement.

Enhanced Customer Insights: Through feedback collection and user behavior data, Olly will gain a better understanding of how customers use their products.
