My wife made some homemade after-sun oil this week and it’s MAGIC. What DTC brand is nailing this? I know lots of brands focused on suncare – who’s leading after-sun?
Making users scroll back to the top of the page to see product price is like making a customer go back to the aisle themselves to check price once they're at a retail checkout. Is that a good experience? No.
The Sticky 'Add to Cart' is a great way to give users access to a key conversion point as they browse additional info on your PDP.
📈Here's how to increase conversion on your Sticky 'Add to Cart':
Nobody likely noticed that we updated the Oddit logo a while back...but there's MUCH more to come.
The focus of our identity facelift is simple: make it feel more human.
So many great things are possible with AI, but we're doubling-down on our human (design) intelligence.
I think this is where Oddit has found it's groove in the CRO space – recommendations that create long-lasting conversion optimization, rather than quick fixes or plug-ins.
Increasing your conversion rate is all about building trust with people. Leverage existing customers that trust you, to build a solid foundation with new ones.
🧵 Here's 5 ways to ensure reviews are communicating the trust you deserve:
Love this little cart icon for our new site – except we decided to not have a cart cuz we don't sell more than 1 thing at once.
Any brands out there want a fun, hand-drawn cart icon for their site? Let me know & I'll send you the SVG.
When it comes to CBD products, don’t leave users hanging –explain the potency difference!
- Make sure both options are visible + easy to read.
- Add a prompt to help users select. The prompt would open a notification overlay that communicates the difference between each potency

As it becomes easier & easier to open stores in the

ecosystem, it becomes harder to create a brand that is unique.
Here are two easy ways to ensure you are building a brand that stands out:
-Work with talented and smart creatives
-Always listen to your customers
One question we get asked a lot by new customers (rightfully so) – "What can we expect the results to be?"
As a design-focused company, it's always hard to track results, because its up to our customers if they want to share data with us. We have amazing relationships with our

2. Show your product clearly rather than assuming users know what you make.
In this case, the function of the product is super simple and visual so motion is the best communicator possible. If the GIF can explain the product better than a flat image, the answer is always yes.

The best products are easy to describe because they're simple – but copywriting can only go so far.
ALWAYS make sure your product is visualized in an engaging and easy-to-access manner.

I’ve studied hundreds of Shopify stores over the past 1-2 years.
1 common site mistake I see is that brands overcomplicate tech solutions that they use.
They’re using too many apps, paying too many agencies, paying to get things built custom that they didn't need to — which

Everytime you design something on mobile that hides content offscreen, first test designing an alternate that shows it all in one view.

PRODUCT IMAGE MEGA THREAD
So many of your users won't make it past the first few folds of your product page –they'll use the gallery as a primary source of information to decide whether or not your product is a fit or not.
Here's 7 images to add right now to your product pages:
1. Headings & subheadings can be very powerful copywriting combos – but they need to support each other. If you're going to have a subheading, ensure that it supports the heading by elevating it, not echoing it.
