Overview

dōTERRA is the world leader in the essential oil market.

They manufacture and distribute essential oils to customers across dozens of markets by millions of dōTERRA distributors known as Wellness Advocates.

The Context

Before PromoRepublic, dōTERRA the head office marketing team was already using a well-known solution for brand advocacy and content sharing.

But their first-year results showed that only 10% of distributors who signed up were active. Software users were falling through the cracks without technical onboarding and further training.

The posting consistency was held back by a limited content offer with no ability for customization. Distributors saw little value in reposting branded templates without adding their personal touch. As a result, posting activity steadily decreased.

To grow sales, dōTERRA corporate office expected distributors to post consistent content and build more loyal relationships on social while staying compliant. dōTERRA ultimately needed to revamp its empowerment strategy with new tools.
