The @FashionNova online store uses so many interesting growth tactics to boost conversion rates and increase basket size. It's pretty remarkable. If you run an ecommerce store or D2C brand there're some neat ideas there. Quick notes (thread 👇🏿) #productnotes Most ecommerce stores hit you with a modal asking for an email address to get a discount. If you're like me you've probably trained yourself to close them as soon as they pop up. FashionNova puts a literal spin on it - the first thing you see is a Wheel of Fortune-style game

Something I wished we talked about more often: the unique challenges of learning how to lead a team as a new/young manager. Specifically in the context of tech. And also in the context of Nigeria/Ghana. I'm 29. I've been responsible for teams for a little over 2.5 years. I've picked up a few things, but it's a process of trial/error and my early mistakes turn my stomach. I feel there're too few places new managers can go learn how to help teams do the best work of their lives.
