Nik’s answering YOUR questions as we wrap up 2024. What were some fails? What are we gonna see more of in 2025?
First, does Nik have a recommended team structure for DTC teams? Truthfully, it depends—you should have enough for each person to have a main duty—but DTC teams tend to work best on the leaner side.
Then, Nik talks about revenue from each channel and how that differs between consumables and other products. Is there a sweet spot, or does it all vary from brand to brand?
Plus, you shouldn’t discount your existing customers if you don’t need to—and Nik reveals why providing a gift with purchase might be a better idea.

Do you consider yourself to be creative?
Nik’s sitting down with Reza Khadjavi of Motion, the SaaS brand designed to help creatives manage their analytics. When you create for creatives, your marketing and product design HAVE to be top notch—otherwise, it’s pretty embarrassing to be for creatives without being creative. How do you get people to have a conversation around data when they’re more creatively inclined?
Plus, using data to your advantage is the key to your performance. When are people stopping their scroll? Should you put your energy towards click and convert, or towards time tested strategies?
Also Reza talks about the magic of AI…and what it could mean for SaaS.

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. How can you make sure these positive words are converting?

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? Nik shares his perspective.

Are hacks even real?
According to Nik, they aren’t—so that’s why he’s sharing his Top 40 TIPS for conversion, social proof, audience, and copy to see more site conversions. Should you do your mobile site first, or is desktop king? How do you leverage social proof for your brand? How can you make a discount pop without being too obnoxious?
Plus, Nik talks about how your site should be ADA compliant because accessibility is important to reaching more people. Partnering that with a simplified checkout experience and easy-to-understand copy are steps in the right direction. It’s not rocket science, even if it can feel overwhelming sometimes.

What are Nik’s messages like?
If you answered, “Hey Nik, I’ve founded (insert company here). It should be doing this, but it’s not. What should I do?” you’d be correct. Starting a brand isn’t easy work—so that’s why Nik has a playbook ready. Should you do a pre launch test? What conversion events should matter to you? What even is a water report? There’s a ton of concerns that a lot of founders don’t ask about, but should.
Plus, in this solo episode, Nik reveals that your content should make sense to three people: your mom, buzzed people, and fifth graders. He explains how all three are related, even if they probably shouldn’t be in the same sentence.
Then, Nik speaks survey: what did they buy and did they like it? How can you, as a brand, take information and improve your ops? Customer experience is a goldmine—one that you could be missing out on.
