What this episode covers

You ask the questions. We answer them. It’s been a while, but Nik and Moiz are pulling out the Sorting Hat to pull out some of your juiciest, most pressing DTC questions. The guys reflect on some of the biggest mistakes DTC brands make (and they’ve seen plenty) and discuss why repeatable sales processes aren’t a nice thought— they’re an absolute necessity. What’s the one legal mistake that could be your DTC’s ultimate downfall? And later the guys discuss where you should allocate your ad spend, how to acquire your first customer, and how to encourage customers to leave reviews (without resorting to flat-out bribery). Which businesses will go bankrupt in 2024 (RIP Big Lots, and whatever it is you sold)? Nik and Moiz also reveal how another business’s bankruptcy might spell doom for fine breastaurant establishments everywhere. 00:00:00 - Answering 50 Listener Questions 00:00:39 - Biggest Mistakes of New DTC Founders 00:05:45 - Biggest Mistakes Brands Make at $10M+ 00:09:35 - Best Way to Acquire Customers in 2024 00:11:32 - Real Impacts of AI in Marketing 00:17:37 - Efficiency vs. Ad Spend Trade-off 00:20:27 - How to Get Customer Reviews 00:22:57 - Encouraging Social Media Reviews Effectively 00:29:12 - Predicting Retail Bankruptcies in 2024 00:31:56 - Switching from Amazon to DTC: Survival Tips 00:36:00 - Moiz’s Final Sign-Off Want more DTC advice?

Before all of the blockbuster film franchises and the non-stop spoiler-filled internet coverage there was limited space to openly discuss such topics let alone their proper pronunciations. ("Is it Mag-neato or Mag-net-o?") So with that in mind, what started as a long-running, inside joke has now become a word that best defines the spirit of this podcast—looking at comic books, sci-fi, film, television, music, literature and gaming from the perspective of individuals who have grown up in this evolving "nerd culture" and are amazed by the ways in which it has taken over the mainstream. Galaktacus attempts to eschew that "angry nerd" character and celebrate the good, the bad and the weird that comes along with this current golden age of pop culture. So let the devouring begin!
