The brief

A SaaS company whose subscription tool helps website owners grow their subscriber base.

Rocket Software, Inc. makes a subscription tool that helps website owners grow their subscriber base quickly. The idea was not entirely new, but Rocket's fresh approach, user-focused features and forward-thinking development gave it room to win share.

When it came to us, Rocket was still building the product. New users struggled with onboarding, and few went on to use it.

The problem

Leaks in activation, no funnel system and weak retention.

Signups came in, but only 7% of users installed the product within 30 minutes.

Most users never reached the wow moment, so many left early. Rocket needed onboarding, retention and ways to win customers, and it needed them fast.

Runway was short. Drip emails were weak, the funnel had gaps and pricing was not optimized.

What we did

Fix activation, then run a multi-channel launch.

We fixed onboarding first, then took the product to market.

We rebuilt Rocket's funnel for activation and long-term growth. We simplified installation and added tutorial guides and video walkthroughs. Before launch we built awareness. The launch itself used email lists, social media, paid ads and influencer marketing.

Automated drip emails kept users coming back. Tiered pricing supported revenue growth after launch.
