Key Learning

Problem-Solution + Personalization

HIMS leads with specific health problems, then offers a personalized quiz to match customer with solution. This drives high engagement and conversion.

Example Landing Page - Hair Loss

HIMS Hair Loss Page: Features a multi-step quiz (What are your hair goals? → Are you looking for a simple solution? → Interested in Rx treatments?), 6 product options at different price points, before/after testimonials with timelines (Month 0 → Month 12), and affordability framing ("Less than $1 a day").

Facebook Ad Strategy

Ad Copy Patterns

Primary Messaging Angles:

  • • Problem-solution: "Stop hair loss with clinically-proven treatments"
  • • Personalization: "Take the quiz to find your perfect treatment"
  • • Affordability: "Treatments from $X/month"
  • • Convenience: "Telehealth consultations from home"
  • • Discretion: "Discreet delivery, private consultations"
  • • Comparison: "Better than traditional treatments"

Copy Structure:

Specific problem → Personalization angle → Affordability/convenience benefit → Discreet/private positioning → CTA ("Start quiz", "Get started", "Consult now")

Key Learning

Affordability Overcomes Price Objections

HIMS frames pricing as "Less than $1/day" instead of "$29/month", making expensive treatments feel accessible and removing price as a barrier to conversion.
