Influencer Corner 📣

Jessie Healy: People may disagree with me, but I believe there is a pretty clear marketing playbook for growing an eCommerce brand

and yet it is surprising how many brands miss key parts of the playbook.

Here are the most common areas I see brands miss the mark:

Early stage eComm brands:
-No/few email flows in place
-No brand ads on Google
-Not enough reviews/no reviews on their website
-Not getting user generated video content (UGC) about their products to use in marketing
-Not realising they need to invest in creative
-Testing too many channels too early
-Poor understanding of their LTV and CAC
-Inaccurate tracking
