@MattTingcom Significantly more freedom, significantly less hours. We made the right choice.

Great point. Related to this, I think having concrete target CPAs or ROAS can be counterproductive for your media buying strategy. At the end of the day, all that matters is spending as much as possible on an ad. Total ad spend and contribution margin are the data points that matter the most to me, not CPMs, CPCs, etc. Then work backwards from there to diagnose the issues in a particular ad and optimize the secondary metrics as needed.

What they won't teach you in school. Reason it's so important to build a business model that gives you a large allowable CAC is it lets you make broader creatives that can absorb a lot of spend. Creative #1 = can absorb $500/day of spend at $50 CAC VS creative #2 = can absorb $5k/day at $80 CAC - I know what I am picking each time

This is a space that works well with strong direct response tactics. Several profitable brands in the multiple 8 figure range are selling similar products with the following strategy: 1. Mini-VSL ads 2. Advertorials 3. Custom checkouts with volume discounts and upsells 4. Aggressive email strategy to promote subscriptions

Always good to see brands use restructuring to live on. Grab Green, filed for Ch 11 protection in June, just got bought by Grove Collaborative and founders staying on as advisors. Grab Green was doing ~$20m in revenue, 10% of Grove at $200m.

This brand first got rolling after some testing about a year ago. Pretty crazy what you can do in a relatively short period time when you lock in. Feeling grateful.

A few under the radar items in no particular order: 1. A/B testing campaign sending frequency and tracking RPR over time for campaigns and specific high value segments 2. Opt-in to customer conversion rate (not just opt-in rates) for analyzing pop-up performance and ensuring high quality list growth 3. Incremental lift of SMS marketing and adjusting spend accordingly 4. RPR for each flow email (with particular focus on the first email in each flow)

How do you think about reviewing performance data from email+sms? What are you paying attention to? What do you care about? A few things I'm looking at: - Total email/sms sends per month vs previous month - Plain Text vs Designed (what performed best)? - Revenue per send (email and sms)? - Outliers (example: email 3 had crazy click through rate, why did that happen?) - Popup performance, which variant worked best a/b/c? - Did we launch or a/b test any flows? What lift happened from this?

@Jaybroyermusic The strategies are focused on Meta ads and driving online sales. You could potentially run geotargeted ads and drive email traffic to retail locations.

@pmktg00 Will this work if you are retail brand and not DTC ? Think like Tractor Supply for pools and spas. We do have some PVL products.

Funny how copywriting has become one of the least important elements of my businesses. Putting comprehensive frameworks into place has made generating angles and writing copy very systematized. What's become more important is creating a cohesive ecosystem of tech integrations and proper monthly planning: 1. Retention 2. Subscriptions 3. Data analytics 4. Financial forecasting And much more. Yes, copy is still important, but the system and building leverage is a much bigger needle mover of course.

@iamsebdeb Great idea, I definitely need to add some content there as well as cash flow management.

@pmktg00 Brother, we should add a section to this on how to forecast and manage inventory- it’s literally like 50% of the cost base

@runtraffic Anything below 70% is extremely difficult to scale. Definitely not worth it.

@pmktg00 We won’t even take on clients with gross margin below 65% 70%. Just not worth the fight. Unless they are subscription

@pmktg00 Agreed here. This is an ideal scenario. Paired with a 2% conversion rate landing page and it’s game over on the ads’ side.
