Video Of The Week
We just interviewed David Mannheim
The man who's revolutionizing CRO with intent-based optimization!
In this episode, Chris Watson had the pleasure of speaking with David Mannheim, founder of Made With Intent and author of "The Person in Personalisation."
Key takeaways:
- CRO is more than just A/B testing - it's about understanding user psychology and intent.
- Focus on stages, not pages. Users browse, commit, evaluate, and refine, regardless of which page they're on.
and so much moreā¦
A Note From Oliver
Want to protect family time without feeling guilty?
Hereās how to say "NO" the right way:
Most of us struggle with boundaries, donāt we?
Work, meetings & endless requests creep into every corner of our lives...
Saying āyesā to everything often means saying ānoā to family.
Hereās how to master the art of saying no...
And protect your family time:
1/ Set Non-Negotiables
Block out time for family and stick to it.
Example: Say no to calls or meetings during dinner or bedtime.
2/ Learn to Say No Gracefully
Decline politely but firmly.
Example: āIām committed to family tonight - letās revisit this tomorrow.ā
3/ Delegate Tasks
Free up your time by letting others handle non-essential tasks.
Example: Outsource errands or hand over work that doesnāt need your attention.
4/ Unplug from Distractions
Physically remove interruptions.
Example: Leave your phone in another room during family time.
5/ Focus on Quality Time
Even short, focused moments can create meaningful memories.
Example: 30 minutes of full attention can be more impactful than hours of half-listening.
Saying no to the wrong things means saying yes to the right ones.
Which one do you need to start today?

Mobile Homepage Layout Do's & Don'ts:

Hereās How 1 Simple Carousel Turned a āFineā Menu Into a Revenue Machine

The $580K ecom carousel has entered the chat.
(All from adding a simple carousel.)
Hereās how 1 simple carousel turned a āfineā menu into a revenue machine:
Our client's mobile menu was... fine.
It did the job.
But "fine" is just another word for "opportunity."
We noticed something interesting in the data.
Some menu items were secret superstars, generating impressive Revenue Per Session (RPS).
But they were buried in the menu, like diamonds in the rough.
So we had an idea.
What if we brought these hidden gems into the spotlight?
Enter the 'Best Seller' carousel.
We designed three versions of the menu:
A) The original (our control)
B) A new layout with a 'Best Seller' carousel at the top
C) Same as B, but with a customer testimonial for extra social proof
It was time to let the data speak.
Our winning variant didn't just improve things - it skyrocketed revenue.
We're talking:
+$48,332 per month
+$579,984 per year (forecasted)
+$0.32 revenue per session
All from rearranging a menu and adding a simple carousel.
But here's the real magic: we didn't just move things around randomly.
We let user behavior guide us.
We observed what people were already drawn to and made it easier for them to find it.
It's like we built a shortcut to what customers wanted most.
