Shownotes

Most brands doing $1M/month are pulling $2K from their post-purchase funnel.

Nizar Abdul-Halim comes in and turns that into $100K to $200K. Same brand. Same traffic. Same products.

That's not a tweak. That's a profit center that was sitting there the entire time, completely ignored.

Nizar has been in ecommerce for almost a decade. He's run his own stores, built and sold an ad agency, and deployed over $100M in paid ad spend (at one point, $2.5M a month). Today his entire focus is what happens right after someone buys, and he's built the infrastructure to prove it's one of the most leveraged plays in ecom.

In this episode, we get into the full post-purchase system: how it works, how to test it, and why most brands are leaving 10 to 15% of their revenue on the table at gross margin.

What you'll learn in this episode:

  • Why post-purchase revenue hits different (it's all gross margin, meaning it drops straight to profit)
  • How Nizar structures funnels for one-time buyers vs. returning customers, and why the messaging is completely different
  • Why he always upsells the most expensive product first (and why conversion rates go up down the funnel, not down)
  • The metric most brands track wrong: RPV vs. PPV (Profit Per Visit)
  • His 5-bucket testing framework: products, pricing and offers, angles and copy, UI, and segmentation
  • How advanced brands build 15 to 20 separate customer journeys inside a single post-purchase setup
  • The quick win you can do this week using Shopify Sidekick to find your best upsell product in 10 minutes
