Smart Upsells & Add-Ons

Awtomic's Smart Add-Ons & Upsells feature is a powerhouse of revenue optimization. With segmented upsells and intelligent product pairing, it seamlessly enables both one-time and subscription expansion revenue. 

The inclusion of exclusive or early access offers and unique discounts further elevates the customer experience, making it a dynamic tool for businesses seeking to enhance sales and customer loyalty.

Awtomic’s Build-a-Box Feature

Awtomic's Build-a-Box feature has truly been a game-changer in the world of D2C subscriptions. Just a year or two ago, the prospect of creating "build-a-box" subscriptions with existing software seemed like an insurmountable challenge, requiring intricate customizations. Awtomic recognized this gap and emerged as a pioneer, offering what is arguably the finest build-a-box experience available today.

But the innovation doesn't stop there. Awtomic goes beyond mere box assembly, allowing businesses to effortlessly upsell customers with add-ons and providing the flexibility to adjust box sizes on-the-fly, from 6 items to 12 items. 

Additionally, the platform offers the option to set up custom filters, navigation, and box size discounts, allowing for tailored and optimized subscription experiences that put the customer in control.

Awtomic’s Customer Portal

The heart of Awtomic's subscription management lies within its customer portal—a space where convenience and control converge. Recognizing the importance of a frictionless experience, Awtomic offers passwordless access to this vital portal, ensuring that customers can swiftly engage with their subscriptions. 

Awtomic is absolutely a platform that prioritizes delivering customers the best experience possible.

Once inside, customers find themselves in familiar territory, as the portal mirrors the Shopify interface, allowing for easy customization of colors, fonts, and shapes while preserving an intentionally crafted layout for effortless navigation on both desktop and mobile devices. Beyond aesthetics, Awtomic enables eCommerce brands the ability to gain insights into customer behavior and refine their subscription programs based on valuable feedback.

Communicate With Customers via Email or SMS

Awtomic's communication with customers via email and SMS is seamless and user-friendly. The admin section mirrors the familiar Shopify UX which is easy for D2C brands to navigate. 

On the email and SMS front, Awtomic excels by offering clever workflows that keep customers informed about upcoming orders. Users can opt to send these emails directly through Klaviyo for added convenience, and they can be triggered based on various parameters, such as "customer skipped," "upcoming order in 5 days," or "customer updated their box." SMS notifications are not only free but also optimized to encourage customers to effortlessly access their portal through passwordless login, ensuring a seamless and engaging user experience.

Awtomic’s Pricing

Awtomic's pricing model offers two distinct pricing tiers to meet the diverse needs of their D2C brands. The starter package, priced at $149 per month and a 1%+19c transaction fee, is an accessible entry point to their platform. This package provides access to all of Awtomic's feature-rich offerings, making it an attractive choice for small to medium-sized enterprises. 

For larger D2C brands seeking advanced customization and theme development, Awtomic recommends their Pro package which starts at $299/month and a 1% transaction fee. Awtomic goes the extra mile by providing custom theme development, ensuring a tailor-made subscription management solution for businesses with more extensive requirements.

Both of these plans also have discounts for one year commitments.

Awtomic’s Bonus Feature: Shuffles

Awtomic's "Shuffles" feature brings an element of excitement and variety into subscriptions for customers. This dynamic feature from Awtomic enables D2C brands to offer subscriptions where the product changes with each shipment, making it especially valuable for brands with diverse product offerings such as various flavors, scents, or colors. 

Even unconventional subscription products like toys, perfume, or underwear can benefit from Shuffles. For example, if you sell a monthly subscription to four books, the shuffle feature ensures that customers never receive the same four books, keeping them engaged and eagerly anticipating each shipment with delightful surprises.You can even let them curate their list to ensure they don’t receive items they aren’t interested in.
