Launch Your Box Podcast with Sarah Williams | Start, Launch, and Grow Your Subscription Box

235: Is Your Messaging Costing You Subscribers?


Listen Later

For many subscription box owners, the silent killer of conversions isn’t a lack of traffic, it’s unclear messaging.

Your box might be beautifully curated and full of value, but if visitors can’t understand what it is, who it’s for, and why it matters in 10 seconds or less, they’re leaving.

In this episode, Sarah breaks down exactly what strong subscription box messaging looks like, where most subscription box owners go wrong, and how to improve your message across your entire customer journey.

Messaging isn’t just your homepage headline. It’s the story you’re telling everywhere: on your sales page, product listing, Instagram bio, emails, checkout page, even your cancellation flow.

You understand your subscription box because you live in it, but your customer doesn’t. Clarity must come first.

The 3 Core Elements Every Message Must Include

  1. Who is it for?

  2. What do they get?

  3. Why does it matter?

    10 Common Messaging Mistakes

    1.  Messaging That Is Too Vague or Generic

    2. Only Listing Features, Not Benefits

    3. Trying to Appeal to Everyone

    4. Unclear or Missing Homepage Headline

    5. Sales Page Lacks Structure or Detail

    6. Misaligned Visuals

    7. Weak CTA Language

    8. Assuming People Already Know What Your Subscription Box Is

    9. No Emotional Connection or Transformation

    10. Inconsistent Messaging Across Platforms


    Conduct an audit to evaluate your own message. Look at your:

    • Homepage (especially above the fold)

    • Sales page

    • Product page

    • Instagram bio

    • About page

    • Checkout flow

    • Emails - especially your welcome sequence

    • Subscription confirmation and cancellation flow

      By the end, you’ll know exactly where your message is strong, and where it’s confusing your customer.

      5 Action Steps to Improve Your Messaging This Week

      1. Rewrite your homepage header

      2. Add hooks to your sales page headings

      3. Strengthen your product page with specifics and visuals

      4. Create a simple voice guide for consistency

      5. Get outside feedback from someone who isn’t familiar with your box

        Great messaging isn’t about being clever. It’s about being clear. If your ideal customer can land on your page and instantly think, “Oh, this is for me,” you’ve done your job.

        Listen to this episode to learn the 3 parts of strong messaging, the 10 mistakes that cost you subscribers, and the simple steps you can take this week to improve your conversions.
