On this episode of The Amazon Strategist Show, John sits down with Daniel Budai, CEO & Founder of Budai Media, to unpack what really drives growth in e-commerce today (spoiler: it’s not just AI and flashy tools).

Daniel shares tried-and-tested growth strategies, from conversion rate optimization to bold offer crafting, and dives into the underrated power of SMS marketing. He also gets candid about why many DTC and Amazon brands miss the mark—and what to fix first.

Whether you’re a scaling seller or growing a DTC brand, this episode will help you rethink your digital marketing game with practical, no-fluff advice.

🎯 Takeaways:
-Website conversion rates are often the real growth bottleneck.
-Social proof (done right) builds real trust—and sales.
-SMS marketing is a goldmine most sellers ignore.
-A bold, irresistible offer will outshine any tech stack.
-Real customer reviews still outperform AI copy any day.
