Overview

A living product, sold with science and soul

Tibico brews raw, unpasteurised water kefir, packed with probiotics. They needed a Shopify store that makes a science-heavy product feel fresh and craveable, drives subscriptions, and teaches customers about gut health.

End to end: a clean, earthy Shopify theme, a subscription flow, and an education hub that turns curiosity into loyal, repeat customers.

The challenge

Selling a drink most people can't pronounce

The Problem

A brilliant product that needs explaining

Water kefir is niche, science-heavy and easy to mistake for "just another health fad". Visitors didn't know what it was, why it mattered, or why to trust a living, unpasteurised drink - so they bounced.

  • Confusing, unfamiliar product
  • Trust & "is this safe?" doubts
  • One-off buys, no loyalty

The Solution

Teach, reassure, then subscribe

A fresh, earthy store that explains the science simply, leads with "Raw. Unpasteurised. Alive.", builds trust with an education hub, and makes subscribing the obvious next step.

  • Clear, simple product story
  • Gut-health education hub
  • Subscribe & save built in

Retention by design

Turning sippers into subscribers

Gut health is a habit, not a one-off - so the whole store is built around the second order. A clear subscribe-and-save offer, a friendly education hub, and content that keeps people learning (and re-ordering) long after the first bottle.

  • Subscribe & saveRecurring orders set up in two taps
  • The Gut SchoolAn education hub that builds trust and habit
  • Loyalty pointsRewards that nudge the next order
  • Klaviyo flowsEmail that re-engages and re-orders
