Listen up kiddies, and let Nick and Moiz tell you the story of ages past.

Back in their day, before you had to worry about finding a MAX-9 brochure sitting in the plane seat in front of you, you used to look forward to busting open the germ-covered pages of the Skymall catalog on plane flights. Where else could you order a ton of crap you never knew you needed?

But Skymall, and the catalog disappeared. Now, Facebook catalog ads are determined to fill the void of flipping pages upon pages of products. Nik and Moiz dive into the nitty gritty details of why your DTC can't afford not to harness the power of Facebook catalog ads before explaining how to implement them the right way. Is it a smart move for your DTC? And just how much can they boost your ROAS?

Then, the guys discuss if Klaivyo is becoming obsolete. With diminishing stock prices since the company IPO’d, is it possible the service is finally ending its stronghold over the DTC community?

Plus, Nik shares the top subscription stoppers that hinder customers from signing up for subscription services and later, he and Moiz tackle the Thrasio bankruptcy.

Give customers more choice—and save your margins—with Postscript CashBack.

This is the better alternative to coupons.

Offer customers a CashBack option anywhere you use a coupon—popups, welcome series, or over SMS and email. When customers select a store gift card for their CashBack option, they return to purchase multiple times and spend more.

Postscript is the DTC darling of SMS for a reason—they’re in the biz of making brands more money–more efficiently. Learn more at postscript.io/limited
