About Johan Glow

Johan Glow is a shea-butter skincare brand. We helped transform a “good product, fuzzy positioning” into a crisp DTC story with recognizable packaging, confident PDPs, and repeatable UGC—so first-time buyers convert and come back.

Challenges

  • Generic promise: “Natural shea butter” isn’t a reason to buy—benefits needed proof and specificity.
  • PDP friction: Sparse content, inconsistent reviews, no bundles; low AOV and so-so conversion.
  • UGC chaos: Content existed but wasn’t structured into ads, PDP blocks, and emails.

Our Approach

1) Brand & Packaging System

  • Warm neutrals + botanical accent; copy pillars: deep moisture, simple ingredients, daily glow.
  • Jar labels with benefit bullets and “how to use” microcopy for faster shelf and PDP decisions.

2) PDP Template & CRO

  • Above-the-fold proof: star rating, short benefit bullets, allergen/sourcing, jar size, returns.
  • Bundles & cross-sells (Body + Face, Family Pack) with price anchors; sticky add-to-cart.
  • UGC gallery + routine steps; FAQ schema; delivery/returns accordions.

3) UGC & Lifecycle

  • Creator briefs → 30–45s “routine” clips; cutdowns for Reels/TikTok/Ads.
  • Welcome series (3-part), post-purchase care, 45-day replenishment flows in Klaviyo.
