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.
