More ads in more places: Airplane edition; or, grocery stores in everything

United Airlines may start pulling from its treasure chest of passenger data to help companies show targeted ads to its customers

these personalized ads could end up on the seatback screens onboard United aircraft or when using its mobile app

Companies everywhere are suddenly realizing they have “first party data” they can use.

And important to remember, (in most cases) they aren’t selling this data. They are selling access to it. You buy ads against the data.


What about adding white space when it comes to copy?

Emotional messages should be below / at the bottom of the image.

The lower part is associated with the heart—emotions. That’s how we think.

Feature / specification (rational) messaging should go above / at the top.

We associate up with the brain and rationality.

Like with pricing, direction matters.


Increasing the white space between products on your site also increases customer favorability of your products and almost doubled sales in the study.

The space allows for easier identification and mental processing by shoppers.

As Nate Bargatze says:

Every book is just the most words. It doesn’t let up. Every page is more words. It’s like ‘what are you talking about?” Put some blank pages in there. Let me get my head above water for 2 seconds.


A heads up for any social media managers and Reels makers out there:

Instagram now allows anyone to download public Reels

More Insta going TikTok, but it means your content could be shared or repurposed outside the garden’s walls.

You can turn the download option off through Settings > Privacy > Reels and Remix and tap on the “Allow people to download your Reels” toggle.

&

a Reel that uses a licensed audio clip, the downloaded video will not have any audio.


Simple Modern recently hit 1 million orders via their Shopify site and one of the co-founders tweeted out the 3 focuses that led to this success. I care about #1:

Limited Edition Drops

SUPREME is king at this, but you can’t just drop whatever and watch the money roll in.

Every new product release can be turned into An Event™, but over doing the drops is like overdoing sales, it dilutes the value prop.

A 3 circle venn diagram titled Drop It Like It's Hot. The top left circle is "on trend" (Something in tune with “the moment”), top right is "on target" (Something your fans want), and bottom middle is "on brand" (Something that matches what fans expect from you). Where the overlap is a grail drop.
