Zuma Juice is a DTC greens brand owned by Russell Brunson.

Yes, the same Russell Brunson who owns Clickfunnels and one of the OG internet marketers famous for his aggressive DR.

In this thread, I'm going to breakdown his landing page.

The good and the bad.

Let's start 🧵 Image
HEADLINE:

Zuma Juice uses a solution-aware headline highlighting the product's 3 main benefits.

With that said, the emphasis is on speed + simplicity.

"1 pack... in seconds!"

It's a classic marketplace sophistication lvl 2 headline.

Bold...

But I think a bit immature. Image
HERO SECTION:

The setup is a high production, Harmon Brother-esq VSL with the product right next to it.

I love how they were able to fit all the benefits and it's main feature. While not a true USP, its a big number that gets attention.

Clicking takes you to the offer section. Image
BANNER:

They use the banner to call out their amazing offer.

Up to 39% OFF + FREE bonus.

Overall, it's a very, very, very strong offer.

When your #1 competitor is Athletic Greens, known for its super premium price, this does help position Zuma Juice as more affordable. Image
LEAD:

Proof elements high up an LP? Perfect.

The interesting part is the claim.

The claim is focused on taste and they use the fact it's natural/organic ingredients that it tastes good.

IMO, that's a pretty big leap lol.

Still, I appreciate the aggressiveness. Image
BENEFITS:

Interestingly enough, they don't go deeper into taste.

Instead they pivot into benefits, which they do a great job in explaining.

The "VitaFiber" function though... I think they buried it. So far, the only unique feature explicitly spelled out. Image
TESTIMONIALS:

This is just a classic testimonial section.

What's interesting is how they positioned it.

2 women, 1 man.

Ages are explicit (30's-40's).

Taste is the #1 bolded objection answered, but each testimonial highlights the speed and convenience as well. Image
QUALITY:

"Clean nutrition" is one of the biggest objections in the supplement space, so they have an entire section answering it.

One common thing I'm noticing is how well written the copy is too. Nothing crazy, but it's all written in a VERY simple and relatable way. Image
INGREDIENTS:

Like all supplements, you have to sell the ingredients.

Again, nothing crazy. Just a good explanation of each ingredient with really well written copy.

Not unique, but it does make it seem premium.

I just don't like how they buried the Nutrition Facts label. Image
HOW TO:

It seems to me that the most "unique" thing about this product is the packaging.

Rather than a bucket full of powder, it comes in packets.

IMO, not a strong USP, but it does lead to good messaging. They keep doubling down on the simplicity vs blending greens yourself. Image
US vs THEM:

I love how they have no problem trashing their competitors with the most unflattering copy possible haha.

However, I'm *completely* confused why they didn't mention the Peach Ring Candy taste until now, more than halfway down the landing page.

That's important! Image
SUMMARY:

This isn't a common section even for DR landing pages, especially before the offer is officially displayed.

Still, it's a nice section with some new info...

1/ Price trivialization ($1.95/day)
2/ 60 day guarantee
3/ Mentioning kids as a possible use case Image
OFFER:

This is an interesting take on the traditional 1/3/6 bundle offer used by DR supplement brands.

You get the same discount + free bonus framework that always works...

BUT the focus is subscriptions rather than big bundles.

Super curious how many take the subscription. Image
GUARANTEE:

Most DTC brands hide their guarantee.

Zuma Juice did the right thing here and not only mentioned it upfront, but they made it huge.

No conditions either.

You can open and drink their greens, yet STILL get a refund.

Aggressive, but it's what makes it compelling. Image
CLOSING:

This is another hallmark of DR landing pages.

Making it explicitly clear you have to act now.

You can see there are no specific claims being made. Instead, there is a buildup to a possible, horrible future where you don't get any Zuma Juice packets. Image
FAQ:

We've now reached then end of the LP, where final questions are answered.

If you notice, most of the questions are just a repeat of what's on the LP so skimmers get their questions answered. Image
EXIT INTENT POPUP:

Now this is VERY interesting.

This a FREE + S/H offer.

You would never see that used by most DTC brands, whether they are aggressively using DR or not because it's a tough offer to fulfill.

But powder is so high margin, it makes sense.

Even cooler... Image
2ND LP???:

When you click the CTA, you get sent to ANOTHER landing page that gives a complete sales pitch for the free + s/h offer.

Wild!

I love the angle they used (sugar free) and the product-aware messaging, which makes sense as it's for exit intent visitors. Image
LEAD:

They've made some changes to this LP.

First of all, the claim is now *53* ingredients, which is confusing, but it's explained later (hint: they took a massive leap lol).

Second, it's presented in a listicle format.

Third, the offer is higher up the landing page. Image
FEATURES:

What's interesting is that they now have 2 SKUs here, each coming in their own interesting flavors.

The red juice also solves completely different problems.

I wonder if the intent of green juice clicks leads well to red juice interest... but it's a good offer. Image
OFFER:

This is an old school, internet marketing offer.

FREE + S/H AND 2 free digital bonuses, both of which DTC brands would just give away for free on their site rather than present it as a bonus.

Love the aggressiveness here. Image
PROBLEM:

The main issue is that Zuma is competing against Athletic Greens.

Athletic Greens has 75+ ingredients with MORE benefits AT THE SAME PRICE for 1 pouch.

At the moment, Zume is great for unaware customers, but can't compete vs Athletic Greens.
WHAT I WOULD DO:

I would focus on the peach ring candy taste A LOT more.

It's the only feature they presented that was remotely unique and mass market-friendly. And it actually proves they're as delicious as they claim to be.

USP: Packets of peach ring candy-flavored greens ✅
I'd upgrade their headline to market sophistication lvl 3 as well.

Even if it's just..

Discover how just 1 packet of delicious, peach ring candy-flavored greens can help...

Kick Fatigue, Improve Digestion, And Jumpstart Metabolism In Seconds!

It makes a MASSIVE difference.

BEST AD CREATIVE FOR SCALE

Forget UGC, static ads, studio shoots, sticky note ads…

DTC brands worry so much about formats, they end up killing their “scalability”.

Instead, here’s how to use psychology to target your biggest, UNTAPPED source of customers.
I’m a firm believer in Ogilvy’s “WHAT you say matters more than HOW you say it” advice.

Because if your strategy is to throw 1,000 ads into your ad account with every format under the sun, you will still end up talking to people in the same stage of the buying journey.
Which leads to the 2nd problem…

Most DTC brands focus on high awareness messaging such as “Feel energized all day with our greens drink”.

My point:

There are more people who are unaware than those who prefer static ads vs UGC.

You’re 1 ad away from being sued by the FTC.

Tons of DTC brands right now, including some popular DTC Twitter brands, are marketing with *illegal* claims.

The solution?

Compliant copywriting.

Here’s how to sell more WITHOUT getting wrecked by a lawsuit 🧵
It all comes down to “UNSUBSTANTIATED CLAIMS”

Basically, you can’t promise anything that can’t be backed up with evidence and proven in court.

Sounds obvious, but it’s more complicated than it sounds.

Here are 4 examples of common unsubstantiated claims:
1/ Cure/Heal/Improve Ailments

When it comes to health products, you can’t explicitly promise a “change in state” without clinical evidence your product can bring those exact results.

EX: Grow your hair in 6 weeks!

BILLION DOLLAR BUNDLES

Bundles are the secret to 1st purchase profitability for a lot of brands.

But most brands sell bundles the wrong way and it’s killing their growth.

Here’s how to boost your AOV and conversion rate with one small “twist” 🧵
The problem:

Bundles are usually sold as a “box of stuff”

EX: A bundle of 3 socks is usually sold as 3 socks (i.e 3 separate ideas).

However, the best performing ads focus on ONE simple idea.
The solution?

Move away from selling "stuff" and move towards selling a mechanism.

When you sell a bundle, you want that bundle to have a purpose. It's not just a "box of stuff", it's a carefully curated collection that will help you solve a problem when used together.

DTC landing pages should convert at 3%-5% on cold traffic.

Anything less and you’re leaving tons of money on the table.

Here’s how to craft a high converting landing page using the “OCP” framework (aka the sales argument framework used by the world’s best DR copywriters):
First, let's talk about sales arguments.

Pretend you're a lawyer.

Your client is your product. Your job is to convince all 12 jurors (i.e the market) that your product is as great as you claim, beyond a reasonable doubt.
This means you can't just make a claim with an interesting angle.

You need stories and proof to craft persuasive reasons why you're right.

This includes surviving "cross-examination".

More emails = more money.

In my experience, 7-8 figure brands should send AT LEAST 12 emails/month.

However, if you have 10+ SKUs, I recommend sending 20+ emails per month.

Here’s how to do that daily without pissing off subscribers 🧵
Grade your subscribers based on engagement.

Instead of sending a daily email to everyone, send more emails to people who are more engaged and less emails to those who are less engaged.

Why?

Because engaged subscribers will be okay with more emails vs less engaged subs.
This is how it looks like:

0 star subscribers = unengaged subscribers
1 star subscribers = all subscribers
2-5 star subscribers = engaged subscribers

Stars are dependent on the number of opens.

Yes, opens aren’t that accurate anymore due to iOS16, but it doesn’t matter.
