Premium Positioning vs Price Sensitivity

As a high-quality product, Kuju needed to:

  • Convert customers beyond price-driven decisions

  • Focus on experience and quality over commoditized coffee

High Interest, But Efficiency Needed Optimization

While Kuju attracted strong engagement, scaling required:

  • Better targeting of high-intent audiences

  • Improved conversion on product pages

  • More efficient ad spend allocation
