Episode description

Pull out your laptops and get your listening ears on, Nik’s walking us through his favorite (and most interesting) websites. From examining copy to looking at ad coloring, and everything in between, Nik points out what you should—and maybe shouldn’t do—with your DTC brand’s website.  Plus, how much does your Shopify checkout screen REALLY matter? It actually matters a TON. The simpler and cleaner it looks, the more reviews you can provide, the more people are more inclined to buy. Does your checkout look trustworthy? Does it have Shop Pay enabled? And, Nik talks about comparison charts. Should you compare your products against each other, or compare your products to ones offered by other companies? Both have pros and cons.  Instant turns browsers into buyers by supercharging your retention marketing.
