What is The Whole Truth Food?  🍫 🥜🏋️


Good food starts with good ingredients. 🍫

That’s the simple philosophy behind The Whole Truth. They believe nutritious, delicious food comes from real, homely ingredients — minimally processed, with nothing more and nothing less.

They take premium dry fruits like cashews🥜, almonds, and dates, blend them with pure cocoa🍫 for taste, and add raw, unadulterated whey for a protein boost — no shortcuts, no compromises.

These 5-6 real ingredients are the only things that go into their bars.
Everything else? A strict no.

❌ No added sugar
❌ No sugar alcohols
❌ No artificial sweeteners
❌ No preservatives
❌ No added colors or flavors
❌ No gluten, no soy
❌ No false claims, no fine print


Just simple, nutritionally balanced, wholesome food - that tastes yum. and nothing else.


TWT’s product lineup includes:
✔️ Protein Bars – Made with natural nuts, seeds, and whey protein, free from artificial sweeteners or emulsifiers.
✔️ Peanut Butter – No hydrogenated oils or added sugar, just pure, high-quality peanuts.
✔️ Muesli & Granola – Nutrient-dense breakfast options with real nuts, dried fruits, and no refined sugar.
✔️ Whey Protein – A clean, digestible source of protein with natural ingredients and no artificial additives.

Natural Frequency of The Whole Truth (TWT)🍫


  • Natural frequency refers to how often users order or consume TWT's products.
  • The natural frequency of The Whole Truth products varies based on the product category — protein bars, protein powder, nut butter, chocolate, and muesli — each serving different user needs.
  • For this project, we are focusing specifically on the natural frequency of protein bars.
  • The frequency of protein bar consumption isn’t one-size-fits-all — it depends on the type of user and their individual needs.
  • These users can be segmented into casual, core, and power users, each interacting with the product at different frequencies.

Which engagement model works best for The Whole Truth? 🤝


Selection Parameter 📊

Parameter Meaning 🎯

What to evaluate over a week 📅

Selected - Y/N

Frequency 🔄

How often is the product used


Are users consuming TWT products regularly — like protein bars for daily snacks, nut butters for breakfast, or chocolates for a guilt-free treat?

✅ Yes - Primary

Breadth 🌐


Experience the core value prop more holistically
Expanding user adoption across multiple products


Are users trying different TWT products — like bars, protein powders, chocolates, and nut butters — to experience the brand in various ways?

✅ Yes - Secondary

Depth 🏊‍♂️

The core value prop intensifies with increased usage in time or money.
Deepening usage by increasing time or money spent on one product

Are users scaling their usage of a single product over time — like eating more bars per day or buying bigger packs frequently?

❌ No


For The Whole Truth (TWT), let’s break down which engagement model works best and why:

1️⃣ Primary Framework: Frequency 🔄

  • Why? TWT’s products — protein bars, powders, chocolates, and nut butter — naturally fit into users’ daily or weekly routines, especially for core and power users.
  • The goal is to build habitual consumption by aligning with their existing lifestyle moments — protein bars for post-workout, chocolates for sweet cravings, and nut butter for breakfast.
  • Increasing frequency pushes users from casual → core → power by reinforcing these habits — like promoting daily protein bars or weekly restocks of protein powder.
  • Impact: Higher frequency means more repeat purchases, boosting retention and LTV.


2️⃣ Secondary Framework: Breadth 🌐


  • Why? While frequency builds daily habits, breadth encourages users to explore TWT’s full range — moving from just protein bars to trying protein powder, chocolates, and nut butter.
  • Cross-selling builds a more holistic experience of TWT’s clean eating promise — helping users not just snack healthy but also hit protein goals, enjoy guilt-free desserts, and stock their pantry with healthy staples.
  • Impact: A user who starts with protein bars and adds nut butter or protein powder not only increases basket size (AOV) but also deepens their commitment to the brand’s ecosystem.


Depth 🏊‍♂️ takes a back seat here:


  • TWT’s value doesn't rely on "intensifying" usage over time — you won't eat more protein bars the longer you stay!
  • The focus is more on sustained, frequent usage and expanding product adoption, not scaling consumption per session.


Conclusion:

  • Frequency 🔄 drives daily/weekly habits — the backbone of retention and LTV.
  • Breadth 🌐 nudges users to adopt a wider range of TWT’s products, boosting AOV and brand stickiness.

Product hook and engagement campaigns

​Section 4: Campaigns to drive Engagement


Campaigns:


Campaign 1


🎯 20% Off on First Order [Casual → Core]:


  • Targets casual users who discovered TWT through ads, social media, referrals, or gifts.
  • These users have either never purchased directly or have only sampled TWT products via a friend or gift — they're curious but hesitant to commit.
  • Since they value price over loyalty at this stage, an introductory 20% discount acts as a low-risk incentive to push them toward making their first purchase.


  • Reasoning & Expected Outcome:
    • 📈 Boost in AOV: Setting a ₹599 minimum cart value increases the average order value compared to a casual user's typical smaller first order (~₹300).
    • 🌟 Product exploration: To unlock the discount, users will likely add multiple products to their cart, encouraging them to explore different categories — a key step in nudging them towards deeper engagement with TWT.
    • 👩‍🍳 Tasting the core value prop: Once users experience TWT’s clean-label, honest ingredients, the goal is to build trust and habit, nudging them towards repeat purchases.

🎯 Try 3+ Products & Get 15% Off [Core → Power]


  • Targets core users who have purchased TWT products more than once and have shown category loyalty (e.g., only buying protein bars or granola).
  • These users are habitual buyers but haven't fully explored TWT's range of offerings.
  • The 15% discount on a ₹1500 minimum cart value encourages them to step outside their comfort zone and try 3+ different product categories — a crucial step towards becoming power users.


  • Reasoning & Expected Outcome:
    • 🌟 Deepen product adoption: By sampling new categories, users might add more products to their daily/weekly routines — expanding their engagement with TWT's core value prop.
    • 📈 Increase in AOV: A ₹1500 cart minimum pushes their spend beyond their usual purchase size (likely around ₹800-₹1000), raising AOV while promoting product discovery.

  • These users love a particular product (like protein bars) but need a nudge to turn their occasional purchase into a habit.
  • The ₹200 off on a box of 10 protein bars pushes them to stock up — reinforcing daily usage and boosting purchase frequency.


  • Reasoning & Expected Outcome:
    • 🌟 Build habit loops: Encourages users to incorporate TWT into their daily routine — whether for workouts, travel, or snack time.
    • 📈 Higher order value: A box of 10 bars increases the order value compared to buying 1-2 bars at a time — resulting in a more predictable purchase cycle.

Retention design

PART B - RETENTION

Section - 1: Retention Metric deep-dive



Microscopic View


What channels drive the best retention?


1 - Quick Commerce (Blinkit, Zepto, etc.) 🛒


  • Why it drives retention:
    • Based on user research, most of TWT's ICPs buy through quick commerce platforms like Blinkit. These platforms solve for instant gratification — when health-conscious consumers run out of protein bars or nut butters, they prefer fast delivery rather than waiting days for restocking.
    • Habit formation: Apps like Blinkit also push reordering suggestions — the "Buy Again" feature nudges users to repurchase, reinforcing loyalty to TWT.


2 - Word of Mouth (WOM) 🗣️


  • Why it drives retention:
    • TWT has a strong WOM factor, which can be a key retention channel since people tend to trust friends and family’s opinions when it comes to health and food choices. This social proof feels unbiased, making it more impactful than traditional ads.
    • Community validation: Health-conscious ICPs, especially gym-goers, often rely on peer recommendations — whether it’s a friend sharing a post-workout snack or someone mentioning their favorite protein brand during a workout session.


What sub-features or sub-products drive the best retention?


1. Protein Bars 🍫


  • Why they drive retention:
    • Multi-ICP appeal: They solve problems for multiple personas:
      • Gym-goers: Post-workout fuel.
      • Busy professionals: A convenient midday snack.
      • Travelers: A healthy, packable option on the go.
    • High consumption frequency: Based on user insights, protein bars are consumed frequently — whether as a post-workout snack or a quick fix for midday cravings. The high turnover rate creates natural reorder cycles, boosting retention.


2. Protein Powders 💪


  • Why they drive retention:
    • Routine-based consumption: While mostly consumed by fitness enthusiasts, protein powders have strong retention because they’re tied to daily routines — most users take 1-2 scoops every day as part of their workout plan.
    • Brand loyalty: Once a user finds a powder that suits their taste, digestion, and fitness goals, they rarely switch brands. This makes protein powders a sticky product.




Section - 2 : Churn reasons, Negative action, Resurrection campaigns



Top reasons of user churn:



Voluntary ChurnInvoluntary Churn

👅 Taste Expectations Not Met

• Users didn’t find the taste appealing or felt it didn’t match their expectations.

🔄 Health or Dietary Changes
• Developed allergies (nuts, whey) that made TWT products unusable
• Medical advice to reduce processed foods, including protein bars

💸 Perceived High Price

• Felt the products were too expensive compared to their usual snacks.

⚡ Convenience & Access Issues
• Relocated to areas with no quick commerce delivery
• Stockouts for favorite flavors on preferred platforms like Blinkit or Zepto

📦 Poor Customer Experience

• Issues with delivery, damaged products, or unresponsive support.


⚡ Better Alternatives

• Moved to a competitor with more variety, better taste, or lower prices.


⏳ Low Frequency Use Case

• Bought a protein powder or bar for a specific need (travel, gym snack) but didn’t see it as a daily necessity.



Negative Actions:


1️⃣ Declining Order Frequency — A noticeable drop in purchase habits, like shifting from ordering 2-3 times a week to just 2-3 times a month.


2️⃣ Unsubscribing from Newsletters — Opting out of TWT’s email updates, signaling reduced interest in staying connected with the brand.


3️⃣ Posting Negative Reviews — Leaving critical feedback about taste, pricing, or service, which often indicates dissatisfaction and a risk of churn.


4️⃣ Decreasing Referrals — A sudden dip in word-of-mouth recommendations, suggesting users no longer feel excited enough about TWT to share it with others.


5️⃣ Cart Abandonment — Users repeatedly adding items to their cart but not completing the purchase, showing hesitation or second thoughts.


6️⃣ Switching to Smaller Pack Sizes — A shift from bulk purchases to single items or smaller packs, indicating a lack of long-term commitment or testing alternatives.

Design resurrection campaigns

Campaigns:


Campaign 1: Big Bites, Small Prices! 💸


Problem
Many first-time buyers hesitate to reorder due to perceived high prices. While they value TWT’s clean ingredients, the cost creates a mental block, stopping repeat purchases.


Solution
Break this barrier with a limited-time discount campaign — encouraging users to reorder, experience the core value, and turn their trial into a habit where price feels justified by quality.


🧑‍🍳User type

First-time buyers who haven’t reordered within 30-45 days. Users who added products to their cart but didn’t check out.

🎯 Goal

But here’s how we make it right:
40% off your next order — because a second chance should taste even better.
✅ A surprise snack tucked into your bag — because good things come to those who… get a wrong delivery?

We hope this little gesture brings a smile to your face and reminds you that at The Whole Truth, you’re not just a customer — you’re part of our family.

Campaign 4: Snack Once, Crave Twice" 😋

Campaign 5: "Honest Bites, Real Delights."


Problem:
Some users didn’t return to TWT after their first order — not because of a bad experience, but because the taste or consistency didn’t wow them.

This often happens when clean, whole ingredients take center stage over artificial flavors.


Solution:
Rebuild trust by educating users about TWT’s commitment to clean, honest ingredients — and how that sometimes means compromising on taste or texture but never on quality.
Encourage them to give TWT another shot by trying a best-seller at 15% off.
Introduce an exclusive "Behind the Bites" experience: every quarter, invite 100 customers for a factory tour to see firsthand how TWT products are crafted, building transparency and loyalty.
