Lil Black Friday email highlight from the team 😮‍💨

Got a brand I’m a big customer of to randomly book an audit with me. Let’s get it!

@thats_a_moret Would say for your brand up to 40-50% using klaviyo default attribution. Closer to 20-25% if using last click attribution.

What's the DTC benchmark for email&sms as a % of revenue?

Robinhood should have a feature where you can DCA into a financial creator's "fund" to follow their investment strategies. Gold members only. Creators get a cut.

Every time I meet up with my team in person, I’m reminded that remote work is actually ass

Claude banned me from using the Max plan for my openclaw so now I’m spending $750 / day via their API 💀

@TaylorHoliday Agreed

I get all the hype that Claude has cloned open claw rendering it useless… It’s been an impressive few weeks. BUT, for me, the pace of change just highlights the importance of being model agnostic. I just can’t get on board with the idea of locking all my context and memory into a single ecosystem at this point. I want to be: State portable, model optimized.

You interview someone who seems like a great fit. Then they send you a follow-up thank you and call you the wrong name. Are you moving them forward with another interview or ending it right there?

"openclaw isn't as good as claude code" Skill issue

5 years ago today, I started Stimulate!   I stumbled around trying to start a business after quitting my corporate job, and somehow landed on building and scaling a retention marketing agency.   And the fun part is, I feel like we're just hitting our stride!   Big shoutout to my team for making it happen, and I can't wait to see where we are in another five years.

Well… that’s one way to get click rates up. Think it works long term?

@dtcprophet @sweatystartup 💀💀

@sweatystartup I too wouldn't be "gung ho" about AI if i owned an overseas staffing operation 🤣

I don’t know a single A player who is gung ho about AI. It’s the opportunity of a generation for C players to try and hide how much they suck.

Here's a little preview of a before & after we recently launched for a new client. The differences are subtle, but the new version got 57% more conversions. And I'm about to share the secrets that made that happen 👇 1. We included the brand USP above the fold (and the first CTA), immediately reinforcing why people should buy. 2. We featured the coupon code above that first CTA and made it much clearer what code to use to save. 3. We used a hero image that better showed off the "hidden nursing access". The first image hides that key feature. 4. Right after the hero, we pushed straight to the 8 best-selling styles. The old version had a brand story section here, but we folded that messaging into the hero and prioritized shopping instead. There are a few other enhancements we made throughout this email, but these are the big ones that actually boosted performance.

Big easy win for subscription brands 👇 We increased a client’s cancellation save rate by 41% with one simple change. Here’s what we did: When someone tries to cancel, most brands show them one offer. We showed them two. → First offer matched their cancellation reason → If they declined? We hit them with a second, bigger offer Result: Save rate jumped from 12.1% to 17.1%. That might sound small, but at scale? That's a massive amount of revenue recovered from lower churn. The best part, you can set this up in Recharge today (not sponsored). If you run a subscription brand and you're not doing this, get this done TODAY.

@roccobertino Interesting. I haven’t tried Claude code so not sure what I’m missing but once my clawbot was online it’s been pretty easy to use imo. It kind of just does everything for you

@retentionrandy Maybe I’m the one missing something but OpenClaw before Claude Code seems like trying to ride a bike for the first time without any training wheels

I cannot believe people skip Claude Code and go staight to OpenClaw

@cartunfunn The original brain rot

It's hard to believe this animation was made 90 YEARS ago in (1934).

The team keeps on cookin' 👨‍🍳

@tim_cook Let’s go!

As part of our $600B commitment, Mac mini will be produced in the US for the first time later this year! We're accelerating our progress even further— producing more AI servers and opening an all-new Apple Advanced Manufacturing Center for hands-on training.
