I've spent years optimizing conversion rates. On March 24th, I'm optimizing my right hook.

I'm stepping into the ring at Shoptalk Las Vegas as part of Justin Silver's eCommerce Fight For Charity - and I couldn't be more terrified.

This event is bringing the eCommerce industry together to raise $1,000,000 for some incredible organizations:
🎗 American Cancer Society
💧 charity: water
🏥 Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières - USA

Tuesday night in Vegas: unlimited food, open bar, and eComm marketers punching each other in the face. If you're at Shoptalk, come watch me either land a clean jab or embarrass myself in front of everyone I respect professionally. Maybe both.

See you in the ring Nadeem Abboud 🥊

CEO & Co-Founder at Obvi | EY Entrepreneur Of The Year® 2022 | Featured on Inc. as 1 of 22 High Achievers | Chew on This Podcast Host

As the CEO of Obvi, I lead the company's vision to offer the most obvious choice of transparent products that deliver real results without sacrificing taste. Obvi, which has been featured on Inc. as one of the 22 high achievers of 2022, has grown rapidly since its launch in 2019, thanks to our innovative and customer-centric approach to product development, marketing, and community building.

With over a decade of experience in accounting, finance, and e-commerce, I have developed strong competencies in customer relationship management, analytical skills, communication, and technology. I have successfully completed enterprise-scale projects involving technology conversions, re-branding, custom CRM development, report design, and release management. As an EY Entrepreneur Of The Year® 2022 and a co-host of Chew On This podcast, I am passionate about sharing my insights and expertise on DTC content and strategies with other founders and entrepreneurs. I am also a growth ambassador for Gorgias, a universal tool for CX that I endorse and use for Obvi.

Chief Executive Officer

Obvi was founded with one objective in mind: present the most obvious choice of transparent products which present real results without having to sacrifice taste. At Obvi, we believe the industry as it is currently, is facing a phenomenon which is known as the paradox of choice; that is, the more choices there are, the less satisfied the customer is starting to become. We have set out to make that choice as obvious and easy for our customers. Simple and transparent formulas with a cutting-edge flavor systems make any Obvi product, the obvious choice.

True alpha isn’t found in podcasts, newsletters, or Twitter threads. It comes from being in the right rooms. 

At Chew On This, we try to give you as much as signal as possible with our newsletter and podcast. But digital content is only a one-way conversation.

So we’re always guessing about what challenges you're facing or what your next unlock might be.

But networking at events = two-way convos with some of the smartest people in the industry.

That’s where you’ll hear stuff like this: 

- “We dealt with that last year. Here’s how we fixed it.”
- “I know someone who can help. You have to talk to her…”
- “We just launched this and it’s printing for us.”

That’s why @ Chew On This is throwing the official afterparty at eTail this year. 

So If you’re going to be in Palm Springs on Feb 24th and want the kind of conversations that actually move your business forward, Join us → https://lnkd.in/eQ8wwSHU

I recently learned a stat that really blew my mind: on average, only 39% of customers opt into marketing at checkout on Shopify.

That's 6 out of 10 buyers you already paid to acquire who will never receive a single email or SMS from you. 

And since subscribed customers are worth 2.4x more in LTV, that gap isn't a small leak. 

For a typical Shopify Plus brand, it amounts to ~$65K/month in unrealized LTV. That's $780K a year sitting on the table if more brands just paid attention to how they handle marketing consent at checkout. 

By optimizing this structural issue, Ancestral Supplements went from 77% to 93% email opt-in, which meant $300K in incremental revenue.

I’ll be the first to admit I hadn’t given it much thought before I learned all this. 

Like many other founders, we just accepted Shopify’s marketing opt-in default settings and called it a day.  

But now I realize that this passive decision can actually cap retention revenue every single month. 

And the worst part? It doesn’t show in any dashboard. So you can’t really tell what you’re missing out on.

Dataships put together a resource that broke this down in a way that made me absolutely rethink how we approach consent at Obvi: 

What's causing the gap
What it's really costing us
How other brands are fixing it without spending another dollar on acquisition

If you also want to see how much this might be costing your brand, check out Dataships’ full breakdown by following the link in the comments.

How to Turn Marketing Consent Into Your Next Big Revenue Driver

Something I’ve realized mentoring other founders recently: A lot of brands aren’t held back by bad marketing. It’s bad MEASUREMENT.

I’ve talked to leaders pouring serious time and money into ad creative, agencies, and testing. They’re working harder than ever. But the needle barely moves.

Then, when we look under the hood together, I find their entire system is calibrated wrong.

If your acquisition optimizes for platform ROAS, you’re rewarding the channels closest to conversion, not necessarily the ones creating incremental demand.

So branded search looks amazing.

Retargeting looks efficient.

Upper funnel looks wasteful.

Budgets shift accordingly, and you start making more of the stuff that’s working.

But over time, revenue hits a plateau, even while all your KPI dashboards look strong.

That’s why we partnered with Lifesight to create The Guide to Modern Measurement.

What you’ll learn:

-Why last-click and even data-driven attribution fail at scale
- Why incrementality testing is non-negotiable
- How to think in terms of incremental ROAS and profit instead of reported platform metrics

If you’re allocating meaningful spend across channels but not really sure what is generating demand (vs what is just capturing it), this is worth a read.

The Hidden Profit Playbook: How to Unlock 6 Figures From Your Existing Traffic

Everyone is talking about AI agents.

But here's what most people miss:

General-purpose agents are going to lose.

Right now, if you want to build an agent that actually works, you have to train it with skills. Most people won't do that. Most companies can't.

The ones who will win are the ones building agents for a specific person, a specific job, a specific context.

Hey Noah did exactly that.

They built an AI agent specifically for C-suite executives and founders. Not for everyone. For busy people who are constantly switching context - between clients, investors, team members, and deals.

And you can see why it's going to take off:

It works from your phone.

You text it things.

It tells you when it's done.

No friction. No headache. No lost API keys. No onboarding. No new app to check.

As the market matures, the people building for specific cohorts are going to capture the most value. A general AI that does everything is table stakes. An AI that knows exactly how a founder operates - and acts on it - is a product people get addicted to.

If you're a founder or exec who wants to actually empower your work (not just talk to a chatbot), comment HEY, and I'll send over the waitlist.

DTC founders, this one’s for you: The time to start prepping your marketing flows for BFCM is now.

Yes, I know it’s only February.

But every year in December, my DMs are full of founders saying the same thing: “I should’ve migrated my ESP earlier.”

And they’re right. The best moment to switch something so crucial in your operations is during the low season. That’s when you actually have the breathing room to:

1. Prep your flows (Welcome, Cart Abandonment, Browse Abandonment)
2. Clean your lists
3. Dial in your deliverability before the peak season hits

And sure, I know everyone dreads doing this because migration sounds like a nightmare. 

But that fear of losing data or messing up tech keeps people stuck on platforms that are draining their margins.

And that’s the most expensive mistake you can make.

Omnisend makes migrating a breeze by handling that heavy lifting for you. 

They have a white-glove migration service and a 24/7 team that moves your essential data and automations for free so you don't have to figure it out alone. This includes: 

- Cloning your existing segments and automations
- Creating your signup forms
- Submitting the toll-free number verification for your SMS marketing

Plus, their platform offers incredible power at a much smarter price than other alternatives (we're talking up to 60% cheaper for similar features) and a $79 ROI for every $1 spent. Really. 

So, if you’re serious about upping your game this November, set yourself up to win from February by switching to Omnisend now.
