Meet Redux: Boost ARR by 8%+

Every month, your subscription business is silently losing 5-10% of your revenue to failed payments. Even worse - these are customers who want to pay you but can't due to processing issues.

Here's how Redux can help:

  • While basic retry tools blindly attempt to recover payments, Redux uses AI trained on millions of transactions

  • We optimize the exact time and way to retry each payment for maximum customer recovery

  • We beat your existing recovery efforts or you don't pay

The best part? We only make money when we recover yours:

  • Zero upfront costs

  • Pure performance pricing

  • No recovery = no fee

  • White glove implementation

  • Seamless integration with Stripe, Recharge, Skio, Stay and more (custom integrations available)

Most companies are shocked when they see how much revenue they're leaving on the table. Let us run a free payment health analysis to show you exactly how much you could be recovering.

Preston Rutherford When the CEO of a $24 billion company known for acquiring and building successful brands shares the 3 key traits he looks for in acquisition targets, we should take note.

@orenmeetsworld Update your retail buyers on your social media wins!!! Especially influencer or creator hits they might not see

Patrick O'Driscoll I currently work with a bunch of 7/8 Figure Shopify Brands in the Fitness Space.

@SarahLevinger 90% of markers operate from outdated, archaic "best practices" that have been debunked for years. 😱

Jeremy Horowitz' How are 88% of $10m+/yr Shopify stores not doing AB testing??? For brands spending $1m+ in ads what are you doing???

@jeremykuoo Costco spends $0 on advertising.

Noah King When ad costs are rising, it's more important than ever to feed the Meta algorithm diverse creative. Here's how you can leverage "loss aversion" psychology to test new, diverse ad variations.

Product demonstration ads are a must-have inside every single ad account.

Think of it, how often does that happen to you - you search for a product online and you browse through a few websites that offer it.

Then you log into Instagram & start getting bombarded with ads for a similar product.

You’re a Solution-Aware person.

You know you have a problem, you know there are different solutions to it, now you need to find the best one for you.

And the only thing you need to see is an ad showing a product that solves your problem.

These are all product demonstrations.

These ads lead with the product - not the problem, not the agitation, not social proof, not discounts - the product.

And if you don’t have product demonstrations like the one below - you are missing out on an audience that’s easy to convert.

That’s why you need to understand the different stages of awareness.

Advertising is not a UGC vs static image question.

It’s about understanding consumer psychology.
