2. Upgrade your product display page without a photoshoot using Nano Banana
You don’t need an expensive photoshoot or a designer to build a proper product image gallery.
A study highlighted by CXL showed richer product images lifted conversions by 27 percent. This is why your image gallery matters more than most founders think.
Without AI, getting those images means booking a photographer, renting a studio, and waiting.
I started with one simple shot of Banana Boat’s SPF 30.
The kind of photo sitting in every founder’s camera roll.

Then I used Nano Banana Pro to generate everything the product page was missing:
application shots, texture shots, and real-life context.



In the paid column, I’ll break down the exact setup:
the designer prompt
the reference stack
the question flow
how to generate a full PDP image set in a few minutes
Once you have that workflow, any product can look premium, even if your starting point is a photo taken on your dining table.
Today's edition also contains a bonus tutorial: Stop Your Brand From Sounding Like AI
We can all agree that within a few lines, you can immediately tell when a piece of content was written by AI. This bonus piece teaches you exactly how to fix that with a 2-minute setup your whole team can use.
Access to the entire step-by-step workflow by upgrading to AI Launch Codes for just $17/Month.

Retention Recipe
3. The simplest retention lift is your first email
The first welcome email is the only message every new subscriber will see.
It sets their expectations for your brand and shapes every email that follows.
If this email misses, retention drops. It’s that simple.
Open it and ask:
“Does this make someone trust us enough to buy?”
Check three things:
Is the opening line still true?
Does it reflect what you stand for today?
Does it give a clear reason to buy now?
The welcome flow gets the most impressions and sets the tone for every future email, so make sure to fix this today, or ask someone in your team to take a look at it.
We personally recommend sending a TEXT only email, coming from the Founder as the first email. It’ll have better deliverability + would feel personal coming from the Founder.

4. Delight your customers with direct mail
Some messages matter more than others — winbacks, refills, VIP touches, launches. But email can’t guarantee any of them get seen.
Inboxes bury things. Promotions tabs hide them. And when someone hasn’t opened in a while, they miss everything.
PostPilot gives you a channel with guaranteed visibility. It sends a physical postcard to the exact customers you want to reach.
Its like Klayvio but for direct mail.

Here is an example of a post card VKTRY Gear sent.
What you can do with it (real examples)
Winbacks — Bring back past buyers with a simple reminder
Lifecycle triggers — Hit key moments email misses
Abandoned carts — Put the product back in front of them
VIP nudges — Give your best customers a real touchpoint
Launch announcements — Ensure fans don’t miss new drops
Seasonal pushes — Stand out when inboxes overflow
Surprise-and-delight — Create moments customers remember
Direct mail won’t replace your email program. It fills the visibility gap your email program can’t.
The setup is simple:
Upload your customers. Choose the segment. Pick the card. Send.
Email drives retention.
PostPilot covers the moments where being seen is the biggest lever.
