The Shiny Object Syndrome is Killing Your Shopify Business (Here's How We Fixed It)
thank me later, buy me dinner
Look, I'm gonna be brutally honest with you.
Running email and SMS for brands doing 8-figures isn't glamorous. It's messy. It's chaotic. And lately? It's been absolutely insane.
These past two weeks at Bylders, we've been getting hammered by the same problem across multiple clients. Every. Single. Week. Someone walks in with the latest "game-changing" tool.
"Parker, this is going to transform our business!"
"Sam, you HAVE to see this new platform!"
And here's the thing - as their agency partner, we can't just nod and smile. We have to actually evaluate this stuff. We have to dig deep, test it, and figure out if it's legit or just another shiny object that'll drain their budget and distract their team.
But here's what nobody tells you about being in this position: You're drowning in options.
We're talking to brands across every category imaginable. Beauty, supplements, fashion, home goods. Each one brings us 3-4 new tools per month. Do the math - that's hundreds of platforms, apps, and "revolutionary" solutions we need to sift through.
The paradox? The more exposure we get, the harder it becomes to separate signal from noise.
Should we use Klaviyo's native popup solution or invest in something like Privy?
Is volume or quality winning for paid ads right now?
What's the best abandoned cart sequence for beauty brands specifically?
These aren't Google-able questions. These require real intel from people who are actually doing the work at scale.
And that's when we remembered our secret weapon.
We've got access to founders and teams collectively doing over $10 billion in revenue. Not theoretical revenue. Not projected revenue. Actual, real money flowing through their businesses right now.
But here's the problem - even with access to these people, getting answers takes time. You have to catch them between meetings, hope they're in the mood to share, and pray you're asking the right questions.
Until now.
