ANECDOTE

Wasted Shots, Simple Behavior Fix

  • Jay Schwedelson tried Wegovy (a weight-loss shot) but kept eating as before and says it didn't work for him.
  • He stopped the shots and regained control by simply eating less, calling his earlier expectation naive.
ADVICE

Time-Boxed Discount Drops

  • Use tight discount windows (e.g., 10:00–10:30) to force shoppers to act now rather than later.
  • Shrinking the discount over successive short windows increases urgency without extra ad spend.
INSIGHT

Evergreen Equals Invisible Offer

  • Evergreen resources often fail because availability removes urgency and perceived value.
  • Adding time-limited access turns static content into an actual offer that people act on.
