    On this episode of Mastering eCommerce Marketing, Eitan Koter welcomes David Feuerstein, Founder and CBO of CREATOR, a company rethinking how beauty brands are made. David shares how CREATOR makes it possible for creators, influencers, and DTC brands to launch real beauty products without massive upfront inventory or long development cycles.

They also cover how AI supports better forecasting, smoother production planning, and smarter marketing decisions, especially when campaigns take off faster than expected. Along the way, David shares stories from working with creators and DTC brands that started with a few hundred units and scaled to tens of thousands, all without switching factories or rebuilding their supply chain.

On the CRO side, Jordan walks through how he looks at funnels, where most sites lose momentum, and why homepage and product page paths matter more than most teams expect. He also explains why simplifying choices and highlighting hero products often works better than complex redesigns.
