Don’t shy away from asking your audience. Your customers are a great sounding board, so invite them to comment on your social media and crowdsource valuable information to improve your site experience and product line. Here are two creative ways to crowdsource feedback: 1️⃣ Invite followers to roast your website. Mala The Brand founder Melody Lim [posted a video on Instagram]( sharing some negative feedback she received from a user about her candle brand’s website. 😕 Rather than shying away from criticism, she invited her audience to critique their ecommerce site for feedback and offered an incentive. The user with the most likes on their comment would win a free candle. The result? She received valuable feedback from her audience about why they hesitated to buy (e.g., shipping cost, slow load speed, and hard-to-read font ) and can use these insights to improve the site. Not only does this type of content create engagement, but it can also foster a closer connection with her audience by asking for their no-BS feedback. 2️⃣ Ask customers about their dream product. Gisou asked their social media followers what other flavors they would like to see for their popular lip oil. 👀 They posted [this Instagram carousel]( so customers can choose their favorites or create their dream products in the comment section. Gisou generated tons of engagement with this post, getting thousands of comments and ideas. 🔥 This made their audience feel like they were part of the product development process and helped Gisou understand the demand behind certain scents and what they should focus on next. The takeaway? These examples are a fantastic way of connecting with your audience authentically. Asking for transparent feedback makes them feel heard, and knowing their input is valued and that you want to improve the shopping experience continually will make them more loyal to your brand.

Today, we're exploring a topic that's crucial for maximizing digital marketing efforts: landing pages. Our podcast guests, Aves and Jocelyn from [Pilothouse](, share why many brands need to optimize their post-click experience, often directing traffic to PDPs instead of using custom landing pages.

We go over how Pilothouse's innovative approach, including its proprietary Warpdrive tool, helps brands achieve better conversion rates and high returns on ad spend. We also discuss how to align landing page content with ad angles. Jocelyn shares: "When we find a winning angle in an ad account, it's a really good opportunity to mirror that user experience on the post-click side." In this podcast, we cover: - Landing Pages vs. PDPs: Understand the significant benefits of using landing pages over product detail pages. - Customization and Testing: Aligning landing page content with ad angles ensures a cohesive user experience. - Advanced Optimization: Discover how Pilothouse's proprietary tool Warpdrive enhances landing page performance without disrupting ad campaigns. 👉 You can listen to the full episode with Aves and Jocelyn [here](. 🌐 IN THE SOCIAL SPHERE ICYMI, OpenAI released a cost effective model of their ChatGPT-4o last week.
