How Brumah uses Feedbank

Pay Brumah with Feedbank →

Fresh-roasted coffee by subscription, with a different roaster each month.

The moment it loses people

The second box arrives and the subscription is paused before the third.

The pattern

Retention: feedback in exchange for access

Access in exchange for answers: the trial or the product keeps going as long as the answers do.

The trade

Gives: A free bag per accepted loop

Asks: Five questions about the last box

The door, live at /pay/brumah
Brumah's door on a phone: Pay Brumah with Feedbank, what you get, what you give, and the button to start the first loop
The hub, as every brand's team sees it
The hub: accepted answers this month, answers that need a reply, credits issued, topic filters and the first answers

Planbrand's workspace, with answers in it. Brumah's hub has the same screens, filed under The last box, Grind and brewing, Delivery and Leaving.

The weekly loop

Five questions on the last box, grind and brewing, delivery. Every answer is scored for how specific it is; a complaint earns what a compliment earns.

  1. 1Which coffee from the last box did you finish first, and which is still open?
  2. 2How did you brew it, and did the grind suit that?
  3. 3What did the delivery day do to your week?
  4. 4What would you want in the next box that was not in this one?
  5. 5Why did you pause, or what would make you?

What Brumah learns

  • Which roasts get finished
  • Grind mismatches by brew method
  • Why pauses happen after box two
At the moment of leaving

Anyone who stops gets three exit questions: what made you stop, what would have kept you, what did you expect. Scored like any answer, credited, and read first by the Insights model.
