Most 8-figure plus brands have someone in charge of each division. If you want to optimize DTC, it's going to take a lot of time and effort. You need to understand the nuances of the platform, whether it's Shopify, Woocommerce, or Magento. Case Study 1: Why a Reseller with Some PL Only Made 1M on DTC If you're not seeing profits on DTC, there could be a variety of reasons. You need to consider your product mix and whether you're focusing on private labeling or reselling. Is your energy and margin solely focused on one aspect? What is your CAC? Are customers looking for your product? Is your entire catalogue on your DTC site? If you're approaching DTC with the mentality of a marketplace, consider spinning it out or hiring a head of ecommerce. You can still keep reselling while building your own DTC. It's also important to analyze your sales and see what's actually selling on your site. You can also consider bundling products that aren't selling as free gifts or offering promotions to increase AOV. Case Study 2: How to Transition from Amazon to DTC Transitioning from Amazon to DTC requires a lot of investment and effort, particularly in driving traffic. Don't rely solely on Google SEO, as there are thousands of other sites competing for attention. You need to invest in influencers, paid ads, and other forms of marketing. When optimizing your site, focus on speed and performance, as slow sites can lower your CVR. Use ICE (impact, competence, ease) to prioritize your CRO efforts, and conduct customer interviews and user testing to understand why customers aren't buying. By focusing on increasing AOV, improving conversion rates, and driving traffic, you can succeed in both marketplaces and DTC. Remember, it's a unique mindset and skillset,
