Welcome to another episode of Mastering E-Commerce Marketing with your host, Eitan Koter. Today, we’re talking with Michael Kleinmann, the Founder & CEO of Underwear Expert—a company that’s turned men’s underwear into a subscription experience. But Michael isn’t just selling underwear; he’s built businesses from scratch, created a national event (literally), and figured out what works (and what doesn’t) in e-commerce.In this conversation, he shares how he started in the industry by accident, why customer acquisition is harder than ever, and how content marketing helped him build a massive audience before even selling a product. He also opens up about the real challenges of running a subscription business, from keeping customers engaged to avoiding the common pitfalls that cause cancellations.Michael also shares his thoughts on agencies (spoiler: he’s not a fan), why marketing attribution is a mess, and how brands can stand out when anyone can launch a business overnight. If you're running an online store or thinking about subscriptions, this episode will give you plenty to think about.Our podcast has been ranked #37 in Feedspot's 100 Best E-Commerce Podcasts:  https://podcast.feedspot.com/ecommerce_podcasts/ Website: https://www.vimmi.net Email us: [email protected] Podcast website: https://vimmi.net/mastering-ecommerce-marketing/ Talk to us on Social:Eitan Koter’s LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/eitankoter/ Vimmi LinkedIn: https://il.linkedin.com/company/vimmi YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@VimmiCommunications Guest: Michael Kleinmann, Founder & CEO at Underwear ExpertMichael Kleinmann’s LinkedInWatch the full Youtube video here:https://youtu.be/0C0cJ8FPQq8Takeaways:Michael Kleinmann entered the underwear industry by accident.Fresh Pair was one of the first companies to sell underwear directly to consumers online.National Underwear Day was created to boost SEO and brand visibility.Innovative marketing strategies can significantly enhance brand recognition.The subscription model offers unique challenges and opportunities in e-commerce.Niche marketing is essential for standing out in a competitive landscape.Content creation fosters community and brand loyalty.Technology plays a crucial role in operational efficiency and customer experience.Customer acquisition costs are rising and require a holistic marketing approach.Retention strategies are vital for subscription-based businesses.Chapters:00:00 Introduction to E-commerce and Underwear Expertise02:59 The Journey of Fresh Pair: From Startup to Success05:53 Innovative Marketing: National Underwear Day and PR Strategies09:10 Transitioning to Subscription Models: The Underwear Expert12:00 Niche Marketing: Targeting the Gay Community14:57 Content Creation and Community Building17:55 The Subscription Experience:...
