Key Insights:

Listicle to Collection Page Funnel: The highest-performing funnel structure involves an ad driving to a listicle-style pre-sell page, which then directs customers to a curated collection page.

Psychology of a Soft Sell: Instead of hard-selling in the ad, build intrigue and educate potential customers before presenting them with an offer.

Mid-Funnel & Post-Purchase Optimization: Address objections with targeted content, increase AOV through post-purchase upsells, and leverage subscription-first models to drive long-term revenue.

Winning Ad Formats: Engaging hooks like UGC-style "fake podcasts," news-style ads, and "ugly" handwritten-style creatives outperform traditional polished content.

Cold Email for Wholesale Growth: How e-commerce brands can tap into boutique retailers using automation and personalized landing pages.

Notable Quotes:
"The best performing ads don’t sell, they educate and entertain first."

"People buy into transformations, not just products. Sell the vacation, not the plane ride."

"Most brands don’t optimize their funnels, but just doing this can 10X your ROAS."
