We're looking into Matter and https://www.marketer.com/ right now.

Still determining if the investment in learning the tool / trusting the tool is worth it.

Same @Jesse Tilner - It was the worst week of the summer for our brand, Neat. Then for our agency (growthhit) it was a bad week across the board.

It was driven by the Amazon Prime hangover + seasonal lows.

Exciting Milestone!!

After acquiring our DTC brand (and navigating inventory issues), we were able to grow it from $10k/month to $100k/month in under a year.

Here is the post on it:

Any recommendations on how to merchandise your Tiktok shop to help increase conversions?

#self-promotion - June 09, 2025 at 08:46 PM

Our agency is making free AI growth tools for Shopify brands every week. Below are the 3 we have made so far.

QUESTION: What AI tool should we make next?

We think it should be a AI-enabled Dashboard. What's that mean? It turns insights into action on your Shopify store. More to some

Good idea? Or Bad idea?

#announcements - May 08, 2025 at 04:50 PM

Thanks @Shin Takeda

Our brand (Neat) is spending $900 / day on ads (80% on FB/IG and 20% on Google). We're testing into Tiktok and Applovin to see if we can prove the unit economics.

Question: How do you think about ad spend / marketing budget that goes to testing new channels & tactics?

How much of the budget do you put towards this? (5% / 20%)

One thought is to always try new channels / tactics to diversify against dependency on core channels like FBIG. Plus you can stay cutting edge. But, it means that you could be wasting money in the short term for the hope of a bigger pay off in the long term.

Any opinions here?

This was so helpful @Belle Liu - thank you

#wins-and-humblebrags - June 04, 2024 at 02:16 PM

big milestone. Keep it up @Andreas Karavanas!

#wins-and-humblebrags - June 04, 2024 at 02:15 PM

Insane. Congrats on this one @Kent Wilson

#wins-and-humblebrags - June 04, 2024 at 02:15 PM

3.64 ROAS 🎉

For Neat, this is our trailing 7 day average!!

We pushed ads live less than 30 days ago and we're seeing some strong performance out of the gate. I thought this would take 45-90 days.

Lets see if this can hold. Fingers crossed!

#paid-media - May 30, 2024 at 05:28 AM

very good call out on using faces

#paid-media - May 28, 2024 at 01:00 PM

Anyone want to guess which ad won for Neat?

One ad got a $153 CPA 😥
One ad got a $24 CPA 🍾

One ad had 1 purchase 😥
One ad had 80 purchases.🍾

Ad A: We pour water on the shirt
Ad B: We pop a water balloon in the shirt

The winner . . . I'll respond in the thread.

#wins-and-humblebrags - May 22, 2024 at 11:27 PM

Meta is our main channel so it's essentially for everything

#everything-marketing - May 21, 2024 at 03:53 PM

good call. Transparency is key

#everything-marketing - May 21, 2024 at 05:24 AM

A QUESTION ABOUT PRE-ORDERS:

Good news: We are almost sold out of product on our site! 🎉
Bad News: Our next order doesn't arrive til September 😞.

Question: How far out is it acceptable to do pre-orders? Can I pre-sell a product that will not be here for 90 days? Or should I wait until it's under 60 days or 30 days?

I do not want to pause my ads that are working but I don't want to piss off our customers.

Thoughts or examples on how to handle this?

For context, it's for our brand Neat Apparel.

#everything-marketing - May 21, 2024 at 05:18 AM

@Aditya Mahapatra We do a lot of this for our own agency. Main advice - focus on a killer landing page first b4 turning your Google ads live. We've tested 6 different pages and here is our top performer right now:

@Sean Eidson Fortunately, I have an agency ( growthhit.com ) so we have been using our internal team to do it.

If you need help then happy to even just do it hourly to get you setup.

We're going to showcase all the creative we did for Neat next week.

#wins-and-humblebrags - May 17, 2024 at 09:43 PM

Sorry it’s not 100 creatives. 100 variations of 12 creatives + 12 headlines + x amount of copy.

#wins-and-humblebrags - May 17, 2024 at 09:35 PM

We tested 100+ variations of headlines and creative

#wins-and-humblebrags - May 17, 2024 at 09:34 PM

Hey Sean - it look a little under 30 days to get to 80 orders and a 3+ ROAS.

Here is an update:
