Oars.io is an exceptionally good brand. As you know, .io domains are really hot, especially ultra-short ones, and are very popular with the new generation of entrepreneurs, for both startups and spin-off ventures. Here is a sample of recent one word .io sales: · Social.io $1.5M · Poker.io $1M · App.io $800K · Mint.io $230K · Luck.io $144,261 · Hero.io $125K · Ledger.io $120K · Eleven.io $121K · Evo.io $105K · Gaming.io $105K · Mountain.io $90K We'd be right in the middle of that stack with other one word 4 letter .io's. Our price for Oars.io is $130K. #domainnameforsale #domain #domains #domainname #domainnames #brand #dotio #venture #venturecapital #startup #startups #brand #brands #branding #marketing

Daily deals. Weekend-only promos. Mid-week launches. It's BFCM season. Shogun’s "day of week" personalization attributes empowers merchants to show day-specific content on their online storefront. Additionally, our content scheduling feature allows for fine grained control for when a page publishes and unpublishes; specific to the date, hour, and minute. Merchants can schedule content once and let Shogun handle the rest—no code, and no staying up until midnight to hit the publish button. Here’s how it works. #bfcm #ecommerce #personalization

The autonomic nervous system (ANS) is like our body’s automatic control center, managing vital functions and activity of all our organs without us thinking about it. Even though the importance of ANS has been known since the time of Galen (129 CE), a towering figure in ancient medicine, whose ideas shaped medical science for over a thousand years, it was hard to study the ANS deeply because it was impossible to separately measure its two key parts: the parasympathetic (P) and sympathetic (S) branches. That changed in 1995 when Dr. Joe Colombo, our Co-founder & CMO, got the first FDA approval for an ANS device that could monitor P&S activity independently. His patented ANS system remains the only one of its kind today. We're using this breakthrough technology and data from over 3 million ANS tests conducted in U.S. clinics over the past 18 years to create a unique foundational AI model for the mind, which has the potential to prevent chronic diseases. Exciting times ahead! 🧠🙏

Oura is on an acquisition streak. The smart ring maker is buying Sparta Science (acquired by ŌURA), a performance analytics company, to enhance its enterprise data platform. Sparta’s Trinsic software translates movement data into population-level health insights, including strength, injury risk, and recovery status. Integrating the tech, ŌURA will level up its B2B Teams dashboard for corporate wellness, healthcare, and government clients, including the United States Department of Defense. It’s third acquisition in two years, Oura added Veri, a metabolic health startup, in September and digital identity platform Proxy last year. As the smart ring wars heat up, Oura is positioning itself as a consumer wellness leader and enterprise health solution. With hints of more M&A to come, the company's evolution shows no signs of slowing.

Amazon Health’s Muscle Move 🏋️‍♂️ - Eco-System Commerce I just spotted an Amazon program targeting joint and muscle pain through its health platform. Translation: Bezos' empire wants to take over your aches and pains, too. This isn't just eCommerce anymore—this is ecosystem commerce. Let’s break it down: -Market Opportunity: $50B+ in global pain management. If you’ve ever winced while getting out of bed, Amazon sees you—and your wallet. -Convenience Factor: Imagine getting muscle recovery plans and meds delivered with your dog food and oat milk. -Data Play: Every stretch, squat, and click feeds the machine. Health data? Meet commerce algorithm. -Vertical Integration: From Whole Foods’ anti-inflammatory turmeric shots to wearable tech via Halo—Amazon is closing the loop on your health journey, one recommendation at a time. What does this mean for healthcare? For competitors? For us? It’s the classic Amazon playbook: disrupt, scale, dominate. But here’s the kicker: Will consumers trust Amazon with their health? There’s a fine line between “add to cart” and “add to surgery schedule.” What do you think?

The 3 Critical Questions to Increase Your Website’s Conversions Conversion rate optimization boils down to aligning 3 key elements: ➡️ User Intent ➡️ User Experience ➡️ Your Business Goals If any one piece is out of sync, you’ll struggle to: ❌ Generate leads ❌ Make sales ❌ Get subscriptions. The easiest way to nail this trifecta? Ask yourself these 3 crucial questions: 1️⃣ Am I in the right place? Does your site immediately clarify that users have landed where they meant to go? If not, they'll bounce. 2️⃣ How do I feel about this site? Are you giving a positive first impression that builds trust and desire to stick around? Design, branding and clarity are key. 3️⃣ What am I supposed to do here? Your user's next desired action should be abundantly obvious through smart CTAs, directional cues and intuitive navigation. Get these 3 questions aligned, your conversion rates will skyrocket. I’m going to dive deeper into all 3 elements in an upcoming video series from a recent Conversion Rate Optimization Masterclass I hosted.

From our Partnerhub® data analysis report (coming soon) - Here are; Reasons our agencies choose their partnerships: Referrals back to us = 21.30% Strategic reasons = 19.10% Our customers use their product or service = 18.20% Affiliate fees & commissions = 11.90% Support from their team = 10.80% Credibility from being an expert brings us new business = 8.90% Other = 6.30% The co-market or co-sell = 5.60% The results of the onboarding question asking agencies to choose from a dropdown list of the options above to tell us why they continue partnering with their current partners is right in line with the reasons we hear on calls with the agency partners. The top 3 reasons agencies choose to partner with other companies are: Referrals back to us = 21.30% Strategic reasons = 19.10% Our customers use their product or service = 18.20% *”Strategic” usually means they are partnering to help their agency move into a new market (i.e. an agency with partner with localization or compliance software who focus on EU countries when that agency is trying to win more business in the EU). The bottom three reasons agencies partner are: Credibility from being an expert brings us new business = 8.90% Other = 6.30% The co-market or co-sell = 5.60% *”Other” typically means they are just getting started and/or have a unique reason per partner. **Also note - very few agency partners are invited into co-marketing projects. And, we have heard some mixed feelings from agencies invited to co-sell with their saas partners (mostly negative, but some positive). #partnerships #powertothepartners #partnershipsledgrowth #ecosystemledgrowth #nearbound #data

Today was a big win for consumer health, with Flo Health Inc.'s valuation at $1 billion. We're hearing talk about the market becoming frothy again, but I’d argue—without seeing the detailed financials—that this valuation could be entirely warranted. Flo has built an impressive business, with 5 million paid subscribers and 70 million monthly active users. At $60 per year for users to access the product, this business has hundreds of millions in revenue and plenty of room to grow. It's increasingly clear to me that innovators focused on healthcare have been wildly underestimating consumer business models for years, believing that patients would only opt for solutions covered by their health plans and prescribed or recommended by their doctors. That thesis needs updating, particularly given high deductible plans and soaring co-pays. Innovators building solutions that users genuinely love will win - even in healthcare. These businesses also have the potential to move into B2B channels, which is far easier to do when you have an engaged, loyal user base. I expect we’ll see many more consumer health businesses “pop” in the years to come, further proving that consumers are ready and willing to pay for such solutions. We're watching closely at Cherish Kudos to the team at Flo for this impressive milestone.
