New Practice Welcome Pack
Premium acquisition channel for new US practices. Free welcome pack (CC required) replacing scattered discounting with a single cohesive offer.
Offer structure
ResolvedFree with CC required (not $25 purchase). "Free" outperforms in ad creative. The CC requirement filters tire-kickers. Auto-converts at Day 90.
Flow: Claim free pack → CC captured → 90-day Advanced starts → subscription auto-begins at discounted rate on Day 90 (7-day warning email).
| Benefit | What they get | Cost to CP | Perceived value |
|---|---|---|---|
| 90 days Advanced | Full plan, up to 5 practitioners | $0 revenue | $750 |
| $1,000 processing | Stripe fees covered on first $1k | ~$30-60 | $1,000 |
| 1:1 onboarding | 30-min setup session | ~$25-50 staff | $200+ |
| 25% off 12mo | Annual billing only. Adv: $29.25/mo | Revenue reduction | Save $XXX/yr |
Why 12 months, not lifetime: Avoids permanent shadow pricing tier. 12 months gets past the high-churn danger zone (30.4% cancel in first 30 days). Annual-only locks in revenue.
$1,000 processing: Repackages the onboarding dashboard gift already shipping April 1. Same mechanic, different framing. No additional eng.
