Why are some e-commerce brands growing while others struggle to keep up? In this episode of The Unstoppable Marketer®, Mark Goldhart and Trevor Crump break down one of the biggest differences they're seeing between successful and struggling DTC brands: consistent product launches. They discuss why new products, seasonal colors, collaborations, and product updates can drive both organic engagement and paid advertising performance. Using examples from Lola Blankets, Vans, and their own experience growing e-commerce brands, they explain how to make product development part of your marketing strategy, test new ideas without overcommitting inventory, and give customers a reason to keep coming back. If your brand feels stuck, the next growth opportunity might not be another ad campaign—it might be your next product launch.

Are your customers actually coming back after their first purchase? In this episode of The Unstoppable Marketer®, Mark Goldhart and Trevor Crump break down why customer retention and brand loyalty are getting harder for DTC brands—from declining organic reach and crowded email inboxes to rising acquisition costs and changing consumer behavior. More importantly, they explain what brands can do about it: increase AOV while customers are buying, rethink retargeting, maximize high-attention touchpoints like checkout and order confirmations, and create offers that give customers a compelling reason to buy again. The big takeaway? Stop assuming customers will come back later and start maximizing the moments when you know you have their attention.
