PRD: Coffee Subscription

America's #1 Coffee Delivery Service
trophy
Launch a high-retention, high-AOV coffee subscription experience that elevates customer loyalty, increases LTV, and reinforces Volcanica’s brand as the go-to for specialty coffee and making coffee at-home.

Problem

Volcanica’s customer base is growing fast — and our one-time buyers are strong performers, returning 80% of the time and reaching an average LTV of $120. But our current subscription experience isn’t built to scale or match the quality of our brand.
Subscribers, on the other hand, reach an LTV of $450 — nearly 4x higher — but we aren’t capturing enough of them. Only 6% of customer’s are on a Volcanica Coffee Subscription. The existing system is underdeveloped, lacks storytelling, and doesn’t deliver the kind of value or experience that justifies ongoing commitment. Operationally, we also need a dedicated system for fulfillment, packaging, and retention.

Solution

Develop a new, elevated coffee subscription experience that drives loyalty through storytelling, quality, and convenience.
Each monthly box will go beyond just coffee — with curated selections, exclusive perks, and tangible impact (like clean water through our charity: water partnership). We'll turn customers into long-term subscribers by making every delivery feel like a gift, not just a reorder.

Proposal

Launch two subscription tiers:
$49/month (3 bags)
$99/month (6 bags)
Maintain 51–62% gross profit margins
Themed monthly boxes with unique coffees, origin highlights, cause-driven inserts, recipes, rewards, and more.
Branded packaging and printed collateral
Easy manage, pause, and upsell functionality through Shopify + Recharge Subscription Management.
Intern team leads acquisition, content, and retention strategies with monthly bonuses.
Target soft launch in May, full public rollout in June 2025
