The Brand:
Helping Women Say, “This Feels Like Me Again,” Without Compromise

Valley Aesthetics isn’t another trendy med spa chasing clicks with filters and fluff. It’s where clinical dermatology meets personal restoration for women who want to look as vibrant as they feel.

Their services are precise. Their results are intentional. Their patients? High-achieving women with full lives, discerning tastes, and zero time for gimmicks.

Behind the scenes, Lauren Blake, Director of eCommerce, was reimagining what a client journey could feel like, digital-first, empathy-led, and built to convert without pressure.

“I bridge the gap between in-clinic care and digital engagement. Our brand can't just push offers. You have to understand the emotional stakes behind every CTA.”
— Lauren Blake, Director of eCommerce

The Challenge:
When Full Transformation Felt Like Too Much, Too Soon

The Confidence Package promised powerful, visible rejuvenation. It also came with a high price point, longer commitment, and the kind of all-in decision many women weren’t emotionally ready to make at their first consult.

Women came in for a free consultation, curious and open. They asked smart questions, imagined what was possible, and even said they were excited.

But when it came time to book, they paused because the leap felt too big.

To meet them where they were, Valley Aesthetics created The Confidence Primer, a lower-commitment, high-touch alternative that offered visible results, trusted technologies, and a smaller first step forward.

Still, creating a compelling package wasn’t enough.

“We thought the consult would close the sale,” Lauren said. “But without a solid follow-up strategy to turn warm leads into confident yeses, they disappeared.”

Without consistent, structured re-engagement, even the most interested prospects quietly faded into the background.

The Turning Point:
“We Were Bleeding Potential” And We Knew It

Lauren didn’t need another dashboard to confirm it. These were warm, willing buyers left hanging.

“In aesthetics, the story is everything. I knew we weren’t telling the right one.”

Late one night, a profile headline caught her eye on LinkedIn:

“Ryan Huber: The Health Copywriter Who Writes from Inside Your Buyer’s Head.”

She clicked.

“He wasn’t pitching hype,” she said. “He said, ‘I’ve been the buyer you’re trying to reach, skeptical, searching, looking for something real.’ That’s exactly who our patients are.”

Ryan had campaign-level thinking: regulatory aware, emotionally intelligent, psychologically sequenced.

Lauren knew she needed a conversion mechanism. One that could reactivate the warm leads.

The Solution:
Empathy That Converts. Sequencing That Sells

Ryan delivered a fully integrated re-engagement campaign, precise, cohesive, and focused on post-consult hesitation.

Three assets. One clear journey.

  1. Direct Mail Postcard: Reopened the emotional loop. Tangible, thoughtful, and trust-centered.

  2. Three-Part Email Series: Picked up the conversation exactly where it dropped. Gentle pacing. Built-in action.

  3. Sales Page Refresh: Reframed The Confidence Primer as a smart entry point, not a cheaper fallback.

“It felt like someone picked up the conversation right where we left off,” Lauren said. “That kind of continuity builds trust. And trust converts.”

Even better?

“I didn’t have to hand-hold. Every piece worked together. Every line had a job.”

The Results:
From Incomplete Journeys to Intentional Conversions

When asked about the campaign performance, Lauren said, “Well, the first thing we looked at was how many of the women who came in for a consult, but didn’t book, ended up scheduling The Confidence Primer after getting the emails, sales page, and postcard.

That number jumped to around 17 to 21 percent. For context, the industry average industry for reactivating those kinds of leads is usually around 5 to 10 percent. So, we knew immediately, the campaign was speaking their language.

Next, we tracked ROI per lead. We wanted to see how much revenue we made for every dollar we spent on reactivating those leads with the Confidence Primer. That number came in between $11 and $14 for every $1 invested. That’s huge. It was all built on messaging, emotion, and the quality of the offer.

And the real kicker? Around 15 to 20 percent of the women who tried the Confidence Primer ended up upgrading to the full Confidence Package within 60 days. That tells us the Confidence Primer did exactly what we hoped: built trust, gave a real taste of transformation, and left them wanting more.

The campaign worked better than we could have hoped.”

The Impact:
A Campaign That Changed More Than Metrics

For the team at Valley Aesthetics, the Confidence Primer campaign changed how they looked at messaging. Where copy was a decoration before, now, it was a performance necessity.

And beneath the numbers?

“It brought back excitement in what we do,” Lauren said. “It reminded us why we started and the difference we actually make.”

Why This Matters for Your Brand

If you’re a Director of Brand or Content at a health company, this case speaks directly to a big question:

“Can brand-first marketing drive bottom-line growth?”

The answer is, “Absolutely.”

This campaign re-engaged leads without gimmicks, discounts or compromising brand voice.

This is what happens when you combine performance copy with strategic sequencing and emotional intelligence.
