The LPG Way: 1. We optimize for psychology, not features. 2. We sell transformations, not products. 3. We build irresistible offers. We don't compete on price. 4. We remove bad friction. We add good friction. 5. We know people scan. They don't read. 6. We design mobile-first. Not desktop-first. 7. We fix the bottleneck. Not everything at once. 8. And we test everything and assume nothing.

I studied how 180 DTC brands actually build their offers, and the whole thing collapses down 8 categories:

Let's build one. Take a plain discount and walk it through all six: 1. Scope - one product, a collection, or sitewide? Just one bestseller. 2. Trigger - what activates it? New customers only. 3. Magnitude - how big? 20% off. 4. Duration - how long? First order only. 5. Delivery - how do they unlock it? Auto-applied at checkout, no code. 6. Placement - where does it show up? On the ad and the offer page. So a 20% off intro offer for our best seller auto-applied at checkout with a bespoke offer page. Same mechanic, "a discount," but those six choices are the difference between a forgettable banner and a first-purchase machine.

When an ecom founder tells me "we tried a 20% discount on x product and it didn't work," that sentence carries almost no information. They tried one configuration of one, out of dozens. Once you can name the mechanic and set all six dimensions with intent you'll have a more reliable system to turn the traffic you already have into buyers.

Most CRO advice has a single answer for every problem: reduce friction. Make the page faster. Reduce clicks to checkout. Remove distractions. That works when friction is the bottleneck. It fails when the real problem is that the visitor doesn't want the product enough yet. Friction is anything that makes it harder to buy. Motivation is anything that makes the visitor want it more. They are two independent levers. And most ecommerce brands only know how to pull one of them. Friction thinkers see every problem as a usability problem. Remove the dead weight. Streamline the path to purchase. They build pages that are effortless to navigate but say nothing that makes anyone care. Motivation thinkers see every problem as a persuasion problem. Add more proof. Stack more benefits. Build a stronger case. They build pages that aim to be compelling but end up being exhausting to get through. Each approach leaves money on the table. The best CRO practitioners are bilingual. They know when to remove and when to add because they they actually diagnose before they prescribe.

You could discount your $149 product by 25% and sell it for $111.75. Or you could add a $89 product that costs you $25 to make and bundle it "free." Result: Customer pays: $149 (same price) Perceived value: $238 Your cost: $25 You kept $12.25 MORE margin while they felt like they got a better deal. People don't want discounts. They want value.

The best CRO audit you can do today costs $0. Open your site on your phone. Pretend you've never heard of your brand. Try to buy something. Count the seconds until you're confused. That's your conversion rate problem.

After analyzing thousands of product pages for 7-8 figure ecom brands, I keep seeing the same 3 broken archetypes: Category 1: Under-optimization Stock Shopify template. Zero differentiation. Missing core conversion infrastructure entirely. Category 2: Over-optimization Urgency timers, pop-ups, scarcity badges everywhere. Confused "more elements" with "better conversion." Category 3: Blind spots Clean design, good photos, but leaving 10-20% of revenue on the table. Death by a thousand cuts. The fix isn't adding more or stripping away. It's pulling the right levers - answering buyer questions in the exact sequence their brain asks them, before doubt creeps in. Get the sequence right = higher conversion higher AOV.

Every DTC founder knows a "Burned Before Brenda." She got charged $90K by an agency that never ran a single test on her PDP. Now she flinches at every proposal. Her skepticism? Earned. But at some point, caution stops being protection and starts being the thing you need protection from. CRO doesn't replace your ads, your emails, your content. It makes all of it work harder. Without it, you're pouring water into a bucket with holes and wondering why it never fills. The traffic you're already paying for is bouncing. The customers who almost bought didn't - because nobody optimized the thing between the ad and the checkout. That's not a savings. That's a slow bleed. Stop swiping left on the thing that makes everything else work.

If you’re doing over $50K/month and you want to see what CRO looks like when it’s actually done right - with a roadmap, a strategy, and someone who’s not going to ghost your PDP - book a call with me here larslpg.com/get-started

We added $392K in revenue in a single day for a client with small PDP changes. The secret? Restructuring the product page around 6 core layers. I've broken down the complete strategy in Notion: • Full video walkthrough • 100 PDP templates from 7-9 figure brands converting 5% • The exact A/B tests that drove the lift Comment "PDP" and I'll send you the link (Must be following so I can DM)

Clean Kind had a generic Shopify template product page. Single image. Basic description. No differentiation. We rebuilt it with: → Benefit icons → Bundle options → Strategic social proof Same product. Different levers. Built to convert.

"Your website looks like trash but your product is good." That's what a media buyer who deployed $400-500M in ads told my client before they were about to scale their Shopify store. Here's what was actually broken (and how we fixed it):

Chances are traffic is not the problem. Neither are your ads. A leaky funnel is. Fix the funnel before you scale - or you're just paying to lose money faster.
