The Client

Tobi Fairley has built one of the most distinctive brands at the intersection of interior design, coaching, and business consulting. She's not just an interior designer — she's an entrepreneur who has spent years helping other creatives build businesses that reflect both their aesthetic sensibilities and their financial ambitions. Her membership program was already delivering real value to members when she came to COURSE.

The goal wasn't to start over. It was to scale what was already working — to professionalize the course content, optimize the member experience, and build the marketing infrastructure that could turn a strong program into a $40K MRR business.

The Challenge

Scaling a membership program is a different challenge from launching one. The content existed, the community was in place, and the program was generating revenue — but the infrastructure underneath it hadn't fully caught up with the opportunity in front of it.

Tobi needed three things to happen simultaneously. The course content needed to be refined and professionalized — elevated to the production standard that matched her brand and delivered the polished learning experience her members deserved. The membership growth strategy needed to address both acquisition and retention — bringing in new members while keeping existing ones engaged enough to stay. And the platform needed to be streamlined so the member experience was seamless from onboarding through every interaction with the community and content.

None of those could be solved in isolation. All three had to improve together for the program to scale the way Tobi needed it to.

What We Built Together

COURSE worked with Tobi across course content refinement, membership growth strategy, platform integration, and marketing — treating the full engagement as one connected scaling effort.

Course content refinement elevated the quality of Tobi's existing program. We incorporated engaging instructional design improvements that sharpened the learning experience and upgraded the multimedia production throughout — giving the course the polished, professional presentation that reflected Tobi's brand and gave members a premium experience every time they engaged with the content.

Membership growth strategy focused on both sides of the revenue equation. On the acquisition side, we built the marketing infrastructure to attract new members to the program. On the retention side, we enhanced the content and added value that gave existing members reasons to stay engaged month after month — because in a membership business, churn is as important as growth. Onboarding was streamlined so new members experienced the value of the program immediately rather than taking time to find it.

Platform integration gave the membership a home that worked. Easy navigation, smooth access to content and community features, and an intuitive experience throughout reduced friction for members at every stage — letting them focus on the program rather than on figuring out how to use the platform.

Marketing and sales support extended the program's reach. Optimized sales funnels, high-converting landing pages, email campaigns, and social media promotions were developed to attract a broader audience of Tobi's ideal members and move them from interested to enrolled.

The Results

Tobi's membership program reached $40K in monthly recurring revenue — doubling previous sales through the combined effect of upgraded content, improved member retention, and a more effective marketing and acquisition strategy.

Professional course content elevated the learning experience and reinforced the premium positioning of the membership. The streamlined platform improved member satisfaction and engagement, contributing to the stronger retention that a sustainable MRR business requires. Strategic marketing efforts expanded Tobi's digital community, bringing in new members who found the program and stayed.

For a membership business, $40K MRR isn't just a revenue milestone — it's evidence of a program that members consistently find worth paying for month after month.

What's Possible

Tobi had a strong membership program, a loyal community, and the brand authority to grow it significantly. COURSE built the content refinements, platform improvements, retention strategy, and marketing infrastructure that doubled her sales and scaled the program to $40K MRR.

If you're running a membership program that's already generating revenue and you know it hasn't hit its ceiling yet — this is what scaling it properly looks like.
