The interview
Why did you decide to hire Custom Box Agency?
I have been teaching and training for over 20 years and leading events including my Financial Freedom 101 online 3D event. I really wanted to uplevel that experience; I didn't want it to just feel like a super long webinar, I want it to be an experience.
What specifically do attendees receive in their boxes?
They get this gorgeous box full of rip and reveal envelopes and surprises and fun goodies to help them do activities and integrate with their learning. It includes an assessment, a journey map, and other fun elements that help up the engagement.
What was the impact on your business metrics after implementing the box?
I will say that since implementing the CBA box in our events our conversion actually almost doubled. This has definitely been a big up level for us and I just absolutely love it.
How does this align with your company values?
We really lean into our corporate values around connection, freedom, growth, integrity, and generosity. From that place we really want to create a wow experience for everybody that attends our events and joins our programs. The more we can gamify it and make it engaging, the better.
What was your biggest concern before moving forward with Custom Box Agency?
My biggest concern was: is this going to be substantially more expensive than the envelopes that we currently send out to workshop participants? And is that extra money going to give us an ROI? When I put it all into my revenue model, it went from about $35 per person to $44 a person.
Who would you recommend this service to?
If you are a speaker, author, coach, someone with an audience, especially if you lead events, this is definitely something that I would encourage you to consider. However, if you're just getting started and not sure what your niche is, I wouldn't do this yet.
