Episode notes
Ramp Creative Volume Early And Later
- Do produce high creative volume early: aim for ~100 ads/month when moving from $1M→$2M.
- Ramp creative output again at $4M→$5M to roughly ~100 ads/week to sustain scale.
Create Monthly Marketing Moments
- Do build a marketing calendar with one marketing moment per month to create reasons-to-buy beyond evergreen.
- Use simple executions like adding a banner to your best legacy ad for each moment to increase hit rate.
Offer Testing Is The Make‑Or‑Break Phase
- Test offers intensely at $3M→$4M because this is where many brands stagnate.
- Industry determines which offers win (subscription, merchandising, sample packs, upsells, etc.).
