S8 E12: Listener Mailbag: Biggest Mistakes Brands Make, Bankruptcy Predictions, and How to Get More Reviews


Listen Later

You ask the questions. We answer them.

It’s been a while, but Nik and Moiz are pulling out the Sorting Hat to pull out some of your juiciest, most pressing DTC questions. The guys reflect on some of the biggest mistakes DTC brands make (and they’ve seen plenty) and discuss why repeatable sales processes aren’t a nice thought— they’re an absolute necessity. What’s the one legal mistake that could be your DTC’s ultimate downfall?

And later the guys discuss where you should allocate your ad spend, how to acquire your first customer, and how to encourage customers to leave reviews (without resorting to flat-out bribery).

Which businesses will go bankrupt in 2024 (RIP Big Lots, and whatever it is you sold)? Nik and Moiz also reveal how another business’s bankruptcy might spell doom for fine breastaurant establishments everywhere.
