Appeal to bargain buyers by advertising your sale items:
• Helps clear out old inventory
• Cross-sell full price items as they checkout to increase order value
Tip: Offer free shipping after certain cart value to encourage adding additional items
"What's your best seller?"
It's likely that people visiting your site are coming specifically for your best-seller
When shoppers search for your branded keyword, include links to your best-selling items or categories
"What product is right for me?"
Help buyers diagnose their problem and offer a remedy
Ex. Lawn care
Highlight your most popular offerings in your ad that sends them to relevant landing pages
"Where's the nearest location?"
Over 85% of purchases are still made from brick & mortar locations
Use location extensions to suggest your nearest store based on the location of the user
“Is there an alternative?”
Some buyers will research alternatives before committing to buying
Tip: Bid on your competitors branded keyword to steal their traffic
Warning: Ad copy cannot include a trademarked name
Instead, reference features your comp doesn't have
"How can I contact you?"
Including a phone number increases the likelihood of a high-intent buyer engaging with you
Clicks on your phone number cost the same as a click on your ad
Best for products & services that:
• Require a custom quote
• Are urgent or timely

THREAD: 9 growth tactics they continuously recommend.
(On emails, ads, copywriting, TikTok, and more)
1) With referrals, most users don't care about earning a bit of cash.
Instead, try rewarding users with more access to the CORE PRODUCT.
E.g. When you invite someone to Dropbox, you're rewarded w/ extra storage. Storage is what people signed up for—give them more of it 👇
1b) If you can't reward with more access to your core product, then the cash reward must be significant:
• Physical goods: Offer the product for free once someone refers 5 other customers.
• Subscription services: Offer the service for free for ~ 3 months. Not just one month.
• These are not ironclad rules.
• Not every great startup has the same journey. Breakouts are often outliers.
• This is not *at all* an exhaustive list of how to pitch a startup.
These are select *reminders* that the group's investors wanted to highlight.
On a call, you don’t need a strong opening hook—although it helps.
What's important is opening with a clear, concise explanation of:
• What you do
• Why it’s likely to be successful
• Why now's the time to do it
• Who you are
