About Base Peptides

Base Peptides is a leading research peptide supplier specializing in high-quality peptides for laboratory research applications. As a division of DV, they’ve built a $3M+ annual brand by serving academic institutions, research professionals, and laboratories requiring peptides for in vitro and in vivo animal studies.

The brand was voted the #1 peptide provider in 2024 by research professionals. Their comprehensive product line spans multiple research categories including weight loss, immunity compounds, anti-aging formulations, and specialized nasal sprays and oral formulations—all designed to meet the rigorous standards of scientific research.

The Problem

Despite their strong market position in the research peptide space, Base Peptides faced significant challenges with cart abandonment. Customers were adding products to their cart but leaving before completing the purchase, representing a substantial chunk of lost revenue. Their existing recovery methods weren’t capturing enough of these missed sales opportunities.

The nature of their business—serving research institutions and professionals who often need time to secure approvals, verify compliance requirements, or coordinate with procurement departments—made cart abandonment particularly costly.

Additionally, while they were successfully driving qualified traffic to their site and offering free shipping for orders over $200, they weren’t able to engage their existing subscriber base with targeted offers about new products and promotions that could drive repeat purchases and increase customer lifetime value.

The Solution

Base Peptides implemented TxtCart’s AI-powered conversational SMS platform to tackle both cart recovery and proactive customer engagement through two strategic approaches:

The solution focused on two key areas:

  1. Cart Recovery: TxtCart’s AI automatically detected when customers abandoned their carts and initiated personalized, two-way conversations. Unlike traditional one-way SMS, TxtCart enabled real-time, two-way conversations that addressed customer questions about product specifications, research applications, compliance requirements, and shipping policies—the exact concerns that often prevented research professionals from completing their purchases.
  2. Conversational AI SMS Campaigns: Beyond cart recovery, Base Peptides implemented targeted SMS campaigns to drive additional sales and engage their subscriber base with new product launches, bundle offers, and educational content about emerging research applications.

The conversational approach proved particularly effective for Base Peptides’ specialized market, where trust and expertise matter more than aggressive sales tactics. TxtCart’s AI could provide real-time detailed product information and address technical questions, building confidence in the purchase decision.
