The fall of Evee...My Tesla story.

This is about Evee, my Tesla Model 3 Long Range. And about what it felt like to fall in love with a car, then quietly fall out of love with the brand behind it.

Most brands don’t need more data.
They need to ask better questions.

β†’ Bounce rate up? Don’t panic. Ask why.
β†’ Cart abandonments rising? Ask what changed.
β†’ CTR dropped? Ask who saw it.

Data shows what.
Questions reveal why.

Want higher sales WITHOUT constant discounts? Try:

βœ… Limited-edition drops (scarcity sells)
βœ… Loyalty perks (reward, don’t devalue)

Discounts should be your last resort. What’s your go-to strategy? πŸ‘‡

🚨 Foot Locker ran too many discounts and took a $33M loss.

More promos β‰  more profit. Their margins got crushed, and customers got hooked on discounts.

Lesson? Fewer, smarter discounts > constant markdowns.

Do you think brands rely too much on sales? πŸ‘‡

πŸ’Έ Discounts feel like a sales hack, but they can wreck your business.

Kill your margins
Train customers to wait for sales
Cheapen your brand
Instead, try bundling, exclusivity, & VIP perks.

Stop racing to the bottom. Compete on value. Thoughts? πŸ‘‡

Email marketers, we gotta stop this.

"John, you’ve been selected!" (So have 500,000 others.)
"A special gift inside!" (It’s a 10% discount… if I spend $100.)
"Re: Our conversation" (Steve, we NEVER talked.)
"We need to talk" (No, we don’t.)

🚨 Marketers, we need to talk.

If you’re still using these subject lines, your emails are ghosting inboxes:

❌ "You don’t want to miss this!"
❌ "Last chance! Sale ends soon"
❌ "Did you forget something?"
❌ "Re: Our conversation" (We never talked, Steve.)

Let’s retire these & write better emails.
