について Earth Elixir
Premium supplements, backed by science
Earth Elixir is a US-made supplement brand selling science-backed workout and wellness formulas. GMP-certified, clean-ingredient, with premium sourcing across turkesterone, tongkat ali, shilajit, and more.
They came to Reacher Plus after a previous agency called Orca burned through sample inventory chasing volume with no return.
課題
Volume without vetting
Earth Elixir's previous agency ran one strategy: blast as many samples as possible to as many creators as possible. There was no vetting, no fit check, no approval logic.
The result was product flowing out the door to creators who weren't right for the brand, content that didn't convert, and spend that didn't come back as GMV.
進め方
Given a blank check by the Earth Elixir founder, Reacher Plus rebuilt the entire sampling strategy around ROI, not volume.
Niche targeting
Broad blasts swapped for tight, intentional outreach. Every creator is picked for fit, audience overlap, and conversion likelihood before a sample ever ships.
Competitor targeting
Reacher goes directly after creators already promoting adjacent supplement brands, so outreach lands with audiences primed to convert and creators already inside the category.
Selective approvals
Every sample approval is deliberate. Reacher is picky and choosy, so product only flows to creators with a credible shot at driving GMV. Spend shrinks, return climbs.
Activation playbooks
Retainers for top affiliates, extra earning opportunities per stage, and reactivation pushes to win back creators who drifted. Capital-friendly by design, ROI-first by default.
結果
Earth Elixir's creator program is still evolving. Reacher is actively testing retainers, new earning opportunities, and reactivation tactics that Orca never tried. The foundation has shifted from volume-first to strategy-first, and every new test gets measured against GMV, not sample count.
- Every sample approval now deliberate (calculated for ROI before product ships)
- Competitor-first targeting (pulling proven creators from adjacent supplement brands)
- New activation playbooks running (retainers, extra earning tiers, reactivation pushes)
- Founder confirmed the approach is working (with ongoing testing against GMV metrics)
