That sucks, im sorry that happened to you! I wouldn’t normally give advice but since you asked, I would start w season 1 episode 1 and listen through if you haven’t already. Also check out common thread collective and their Admission program. And this group is awesome! Hang in there!!!

Our social media manager is considering new accounts. She is an ER nurse and does social media managing on the side. She has done an amazing job for us, particularly on Instagram. You can reach her via email. autumnleeg@gmail.com|autumnleeg@gmail.com

I would use a TikTok agency for this, I’m not familiar of anyone who does it for Instagram…

#everything-marketing - March 11, 2025 at 06:28 PM

We landed a collab with a couple big apparel brands. We will be doing a giveaway a day of all three of our products during Nurses Week in May. Any ideas how we can make the most out of the exposure and the customer bases of these big brands? Any mistakes we need to avoid?

@Anubhav Narula prediko is great

#everything-marketing - February 28, 2025 at 04:01 AM

Creating the content in platform supposedly always does better. Creating in CapCut is the same as creating in TikTok. You need a creator account to have access to trending audio in Instagram and you can always toggle back and forth between business and creator. You have to use non copyrighted music for ads though which always causes problems for whitelisting.

#general-chat - February 27, 2025 at 07:35 PM

Thanks for all the thoughtful advice, this slack always exceeds my expectations!

#general-chat - February 27, 2025 at 07:34 PM

<@U080MV2DFC7> any recs for a designer to use in this instance? Would you consult them before setting up the theme or after?

#email-sms - February 27, 2025 at 04:09 PM

Which ai tools would you recommend for this?

#general-chat - February 27, 2025 at 04:05 PM

@Shin Takeda Budget at this time is <5k. We could do Oddit and then pay a dev to implement but it seems it would be cheaper to just build from scratch on a paid theme… Or we could just leave the site alone and create more landing pages…

#general-chat - February 27, 2025 at 03:52 PM

We are considering retheming our website to improve conversion. I have talked with several devs looking to build on paid themes, but I’m concerned the result will look too templated and not premium enough. We are a premium - affordable luxury product and price point and I’d like our site to reflect that. Our current site is just weird. But I can’t afford a professionally designed site yet. We use landing pages as well. Any thoughts or recommendations of who you would use? Current site is a customized dawn theme. soleyascrubs.com.

#email-sms - February 27, 2025 at 03:36 PM

We are currently at about 20k monthly revenue. We are paying 1k for email marketing and making a little over that in campaign based revenue each month, more from email flows. Does it make sense to keep this person on?

#cx-retention - February 27, 2025 at 03:33 PM

I have had several trusted customers have this experience, even one of my investors 😱. USPS tracking is not reliable. This particular person had received a different package all together and had the delivery on their ring. We are switching to FedEx for this reason. It will be worth the $5 additional cost for National 2 day shipping vs 2-5 day shipping w usps and many lost deliveries.

#general-chat - February 27, 2025 at 03:28 PM

I haven’t used that before. I’ll need to get verified on it. Thx.

#everything-marketing - February 27, 2025 at 03:25 PM

Just search your niche on Instagram and TikTok and see who is making good content. I have found through trial and error that you get much better responses from people w 1k-15k followers on Instagram. People tend to respond to email best. People tend to respond to an offer of product with no strings attached best. I get responses from maybe 1 of 20 people. If you find a gateway person who will intro you to their circle of creators that is key. Also, we have had decent luck putting out a general ask on our socials. I have found you can tell pretty quickly which creators are genuine and generous and that is who we tend to work on. I am very generous w my time w them as well, give help where I can, send them equipment to be better creators, send product before it is release, and intro them to other brands when I can. It’s honestly been one of the funnest parts of the business so far. I look at it more as mentoring and mutual generosity than getting content out of people. Getting their input in your business is also great.

#everything-marketing - February 22, 2025 at 03:36 PM

@Dave Strangis We have a group of healthcare creators who each post a collab reel on a day of the week. We have a group DM where everyone shares ideas, challenges, etc and I try to introduce them to other brands when I can, give them projects like this, etc

#everything-marketing - February 22, 2025 at 04:40 AM

FYI, I’ve had great luck getting UGC ads from my influencer team. If we have an ad that performs well, I throw out the concept and $100 and whoever wants to create an iteration goes for it. This is the last one they made (purples) as well as the inspo (charcoal)… ROAS ~3

#general-chat - February 21, 2025 at 06:43 AM

Right now magic brief, CapCut, Canva. I asked the owner for a deal and he was super reasonable. My wife wanted to know why I purchased “magic briefs”

#everything-marketing - February 21, 2025 at 06:37 AM

Look up UGC creators on TikTok and Instagram. Once you get a good team of micro and nano influencers they are usually excited to make you ads for $100 each if you give them an idea to work off of.

#general-chat - February 21, 2025 at 06:32 AM

I went with Magic Brief. It’s been great.

#everything-marketing - February 19, 2025 at 12:33 PM

I will

#everything-marketing - February 16, 2025 at 01:11 AM

Anyone have access to Barry Hott’s “Ugly Ads Template”? I’m trying to purchase from the Creative OS website and the link is dead.

#everything-marketing - February 15, 2025 at 12:19 AM

We see indirect sales and it definitely helps with credibility and brand awareness. We haven’t seen many direct sales from our influencers but I still consider it worthwhile. Also, we have been able to run ads based on the reels that outperform or occasionally whitelist them.

#general-chat - February 15, 2025 at 12:04 AM

Our website, soleyascrubs.com, is not ranking on Bing, it does fine on Google. Any idea how to fix this?

#general-chat - February 15, 2025 at 12:01 AM

You would waste way too much money buying and enforcing trademarks on product names. It is worth trademarking your brand. You can just use ™️ for any product name you yourself consider proprietary. We do this with our Serenity™️ fabric and you will see lots of brands like Vuori do this with all kinds of silly words. I do have a good trademark lawyer though if you need one.

#general-chat - February 06, 2025 at 03:33 PM

What are some good examples of DTC fashion brands with super clean UX and UI, especially in terms of bundling?

#finance - January 26, 2025 at 07:33 AM

What’s the full name for Iris or do you have a link?

#finance - January 23, 2025 at 07:50 PM

Why’s that?

#everything-marketing - January 22, 2025 at 08:22 PM

I know this has been asked before, but any recs on someone who can create high performing static creatives for cheap?

#limited-supply - January 21, 2025 at 04:32 PM

Ya it felt really short . I think longer episodes come off as higher value and long form in podcasts is quite popular right now, think DOAC, Call Her Daddy, Joe Rogan

#paid-media - January 21, 2025 at 04:22 PM

We considered but it’s too expensive for us to be worth it at our stage of growth

#limited-supply - January 21, 2025 at 04:21 PM

In the car on my way to and from work. I usually have ~30 minutes and listen at 1.5 or 2X speed.

#limited-supply - January 21, 2025 at 04:51 AM

Am I the only one who listens at 2X? I can’t even make it to work with a 30 min episode 😢

#finance - January 21, 2025 at 04:48 AM

Thanks!

#finance - January 19, 2025 at 05:44 AM

How do yall value your business during the first year? My thoughts, startup accelerators typically value pre-revenue startups at ~2M. If we have 100k revenue in 8 months, traction, product market fit, ready to scale, does a post money valuation of 2M sound reasonable for a friends and family round?

#general-chat - January 17, 2025 at 04:26 AM

@Nik Sharma ?

#general-chat - January 16, 2025 at 06:17 PM

Hootsuite and sprout social are the most commonly used but we didn’t find them helpful. It worked better for us to pay someone to post natively on each.

#general-chat - January 16, 2025 at 05:05 PM

What was most helpful on Motion was being able to compare creatives at the creative rather than ad level. Also, analyzing the copy was also helpful. It gets murky on Ad manager when you have used creatives in multiple campaigns.

#general-chat - January 15, 2025 at 11:22 PM

Thx I’ll check it out!

#everything-marketing - January 15, 2025 at 10:21 PM

I just used <@U086T60CU4U> and I was beyond satisfied with his work. Here is the video he edited from like 20 minutes of raw footage.

#general-chat - January 15, 2025 at 10:14 PM

George is quoting me $249 (same as Motion) and offering a “discount” to $149. Our as spend is only 6k. The interface seemed ok but definitely not the same level of UX as Motion. I wish the pricing was more transparent.

#finance - January 11, 2025 at 01:56 AM

Anyone using finaloop? Is it worth the cost? Any better options out there?

#finance - January 11, 2025 at 01:46 AM

I regret using this. The rate is too high and it’s a killer to lose 25% of your revenue. It’s also a pain that they make constant deductions from your bank account

#general-chat - January 07, 2025 at 04:23 PM

I’d love to try it. Thanks!

#everything-marketing - January 06, 2025 at 05:57 PM

We work directly with a healthcare influencer who is doing it as a side-hustle

#general-chat - January 05, 2025 at 04:02 PM

Please, thanks!

#general-chat - January 05, 2025 at 12:47 AM

Thanks for all these options. How much is it? How does it compare?

#general-chat - January 05, 2025 at 12:46 AM

Thanks, how much is it?

#general-chat - January 04, 2025 at 06:25 PM

I tried Motion and fell in love. Now they want $250/month . Their free version is pathetic. Do they hate founders? Any creative solutions here???
