🚩 Flag’em, Fix’em, Win’em!
Most DTC Brands today are making the same mistakes, to ensure you don’t make them here’s an overview of them, so you can avoid them and win faster!
🧐 Misinterpreting Ad Performance
A common misconception is that poor ad performance is solely due to the ads themselves.
Understanding the complete customer journey is crucial, from initial ad exposure to repeat purchases.
Segmenting the journey (Ad, Landing Page, Add to Cart, Initiate Checkout, Purchase, Upsell stages, and follow-up through Email & SMS) allows for targeted optimization.
It's essential to make each stage compelling to encourage customer progression.
A holistic view of the customer journey enables more effective ad optimization and improves overall campaign performance.
🚫 Lacking a Team Perspective
Great brands are built by cohesive teams, not just individual efforts.
Implementing any strategy should include considerations of its impact on the team and the potential need for additional expertise.
Avoiding under-resourcing is vital to prevent long-term negative consequences.
A team-centric approach in strategy development is crucial for sustainable brand growth and success.
🛒 Addressing Low Average Order Value (AOV)
A low AOV is a significant concern, with studies indicating that 82% of customers may not make repeat purchases.
Successful brands excel in increasing the value of each purchase.
Maximizing revenue per transaction is a key strategy for long-term profitability.
Enhancing AOV is essential for sustained revenue growth and customer retention.
🤑 Combatting Low Lifetime Value (LTV)
A low LTV indicates a brand's heavy reliance on its advertising performance.
Continuous stress is a symptom of low LTV, often leading to an over-dependence on ad spending.
Pausing ad investments can lead to immediate negative impacts on such businesses.
The focus should be on strategies that encourage repeat business.
Increasing LTV is imperative for reducing dependence on ads and ensuring business resilience.
🧪 The Necessity of Adequate Testing
Limited testing of marketing concepts can lead to missed opportunities.
Broadening the scope of testing beyond one or two concepts is crucial.
More testing leads to a better understanding of effective strategies.
