(This is the part that gets the opens.)\n[ your take… ]\n———\nHere is a real one you can run this week 👇\nResearch shows 16% of shoppers begin product discovery on ChatGPT, but only 9% complete a purchase, indicating a major funnel leak, per Digiday.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): if you're mentioned in ChatGPT product recommendations, you don't need better product — you need a frictionless path from the bot to your checkout. Build a link-in-bio or QR code strategy aimed at ChatGPT users. When someone asks 'best [your category],' ChatGPT will name you. Your job is to make the next three clicks effortless. A review link, a free sample offer, or a fast checkout should follow the mention. Capture the qualified buyer the AI already vetted for you.\nWhat that means for you: The AI recommended you. That's huge. But most brands treat that mention like a social media post — they assume the work is done. It's not. You got discovered; now you have to convert. The 7-point gap is where every brand is leaving money. Your ChatGPT strategy should end with a click, not a mention.\nIf you make, sell, or gift anything with your name on it — this is yours to run. You can do this.\n(Real, not theory — Digiday: https://digiday.com/marketing/ai-boosts-discovery-but-reviews-still-seal-the-deal-new-research-shows/?utm_campaign=digidaydis&utm_medium=rss&utm_source=general-rss.)\n———\nOr — want it built FOR you? Your logo, your products, your own private room, priced and ready, in about five minutes.
