Today, we’re joined by Heather Earl, Head of Ecommerce & CX at Nutrition Warehouse, Australia’s largest supplement retailer with more than 120 stores, nine private label brands and a fast-growing footprint in New Zealand. Twice recognised in the Top 50 People in Ecommerce, Heather has been at the centre of the brand’s digital transformation: from migrating to Shopify and Klaviyo, to launching SameDaySupps and building a loyalty program that rewards customers for being active, not just shopping.
She admits it hasn’t all been smooth. Now every rollout comes with full team alignment and training. And in a category where timing is everything, she’s blunt about why SameDaySupps matters: “Supplements are that thing you don’t realise you’re out of until you’re out.”
“No matter where you are, no matter what touch point with Nutrition Warehouse, we want you to feel a part of our community, to feel like you’re one of us and you want to be in it.”
