    S9 E11: Perfect Unicorn Business: DTC Framework (with Ryan Babenzien, CEO and Co-founder of Jolie)

    How do you discover something magical in the DTC space? For this week’s guest Ryan Babenzien, CEO of Jolie, he looked at everyday things: the shower. Wellness. Vanity. Your wallet. And then the filtered shower head took the world by storm. How do you create a successful product when there’s already a ton of stuff out there? Why is everyday customer behavior so important to a wellness brand? Ryan shares his framework, his history from other brands, and how gut and instinct play a role in your success.  Plus, Nik and Ryan talk about packaging—how does it differ between wellness brands and other CPG products? When you’re a DTC brand, a way to polish things is to make sure you have efficient packing. No packing peanuts, just simple and easy. Do creators care about packaging being environmentally friendly? (Hint: yes.) Then, it’s all about people influencing people. Word of mouth—from influencers, UGC, your friends and family—all play a role in the success of a product.

    S9 E10: Make It Pop: Brand Awareness, Launch, and Beyond

    It’s not about you, it’s your brand awareness.  In this solo episode, Nik breaks down brand awareness and how to do it right. There’s a difference between brand recognition, excitement, and affinity. But some of those go awry, it can really affect how people view your brand. How do you interact with creators on social media? How much content should everyone make about your brand? When people see your logo or brand, what comes to mind?  Plus, Nik gives an example of how he tackles product launch—he’s excited about it, but there’s a couple things that can be improved. There’s a lot that goes into a launch, like storefront (brick-and-mortar, eComm), email, SMS, organic social, paid social, the list is almost endless. How do you launch something that really pops?  Then, it’s all about keeping those customers. We’re talking drop strategy, VIP discount codes, and even inventory. Why should you send one email per day for the first three days? Are TikTok and Instagram really their own funnels?
