August 13, 202041: Great PPC Advertising Copy
In episode 40, we talked about driving traffic to your website. A lot of what we hit on was paid ads (Google/Bing and FB/Instagram). In Podcast Episode 41, we’re going to talk about how to make sure your advertising copy is great.
Jason and Stefanie discuss how important advertising copy is and how it's helped both of their companies, The Media Captain and DermWarehouse.

We first dive into the foundation of a Google PPC advertisement so you understand the structure:
What does a Google advertisement look like?
3 headlines (30 characters each)

2 descriptions (90 characters each)

Sitelink

Callout

Location Extension

Call Extensions

Deal Extensions

We then dive into understanding keyword relevance:
You bid on keywords. Keywords trigger advertisements

There needs to be a correlation between your keywords and your advertisements

When you have good keywords that align with good ad copy, you improve your relevance score. A high relevance score will ultimately drop your average cost per click.
We discuss the importance of understanding your business and its customers:
Understand and create great unique selling propositions

Avoid fluff. You need to make your ad copy hard hitting

Deals & Promotions: They Work
Facebook/Instagram Ads vs. PPC
There is correlating media (photo/images) associated with Facebook and Instagram ads. In many instances, the media is equally as important than the ad copy. This is a key difference between social advertisements versus PPC advertisements. PPC ads rely strictly on verbiage.

July 29, 202039: Email Automation & Shopping Cart Abandonment for eCommerce
In episode 39, Stefanie and Jason discuss the importance of capturing email addresses and why it's critical for eCommerce companies. Below is an outline that we used for our Podcast on email automation and shopping cart abandonment for eCommerce.

Important Resources referenced in podcast:
Klaviyo

MailChimp

Constant Contact

Sumo Email Capture

Email Marketing ROI Stats
Importance of Collecting Email Addresses:
Being able to capture email addresses on eCommerce site (or any site) is very important

With eCommerce, you’re often paying money to get people to your site (Google Ads, Facebook ads, etc). So, you want to get their email so that even if they don’t convert you can try to convert them later.

We used SUMO for the past 5 years which is awesome, but recently switched when we switched our email marketing company, since they also had a solution for this.
Starting Out:
Have been using MailChimp for DW since we launched in 2016

Strategy has always been to send a limited amount of emails (around 2 per month).

When we started out, Stef would spend hours putting together emails but we quickly realized that we got the best results when keeping them simple.

So, we started sending out about 2 emails per month with a 20% off sale and the results were amazing.

We were lucky that we were able to send out sales, as these did extremely well for us. Any other content that we tried (blogs, etc), didn’t yield great results.
Money Left on the Table:
As we continued growing, we realized that there was a lot of money left on the table from customers that we weren’t capturing, but we never found a great solution to do what we wanted to do.

We tried several different plugins for shopping cart abandonment, purchase reminder emails, but none of them functioned properly or looked good.

Recently we switched to Klaviyo, which is much more advanced than something like MailChimp.

Our Automations:
Shopping Cart Abandonment

Browse Abandonment → When someone is looking at a product on your site but they never actually make it to the checkout page, can email them about the product they were looking at

Anniversary emails → gift for 1 year anniversary with DW

Birthday emails → Send gift card on customer birthdays

Loyalty Program emails → Letting people know they have points they can use so they make purchases

Replenishment Reminders → If someone hasn’t shopped in 3 months, remind them they may be running out of their products

Subscription Automations → If someone has shopped for an item multiple times but never signed up for a subscription, you can suggest they sign up
