@ashvinmelwani I’ve always said if my CPC dropped by 50% and so did my CVR that’s a win. I just got twice as many people to my site to learn about my business and I made the same revenue. But hopefully those people that didn’t purchase will come back and buy in the future

Just 5 years ago I got a crazy phone call that nearly killed us...
Here’s the story I've never told anyone before:
Billing reminders are one of the highest-risk churn moments for subscription brands.
Most brands know this moment matters but don’t have a way to test what actually impacts retention and lifetime value. Understanding how critical this moment is exactly why @klaviyo was one of the first integrations we built.
I recently sat down with @bryandstarck to understand how Ultra Pouches is approaching this. Sharing the case study in the comments, highlighting how they measure billing reminders against retention and LTV 🐷 🔥

Amazon is reportedly moving Prime Day from its traditional July slot to late June, marking the first calendar shift for the event since its pandemic-era disruptions. The company declined to comment.
Bloomberg broke the story.
How does this change your marketing calendar?
Overcorrection or actual headwinds? I think this is going to get blown out of proportion but acquisition is always going to be a challenge for any high growth or large 9 figure brand

@therahulissar@AppLovin Let me know how it goes. Currently running an incrementally test so don't want to disrupt that and going to wait till it's done
@zachmstuck 100% agree with this especially the way Google has positioned their products. Pmax continues to be a black box and we are seeing it spend a ton of money on display. We shifted a lot of budget over to standard shopping which I bet many agencies aren’t doing and still run Pmax
