Marketing readiness — Coldfront Supply
Real gaps to close
The photography is excellent and the product pages are the weak link: features are listed, but nothing tells a buyer why this gear survives a real winter shift. Reviews are collected and hidden below the fold. Paid traffic lands on a homepage instead of the product that was advertised.
What 62/100 means: You have something to build on, but coverage or rhythm is uneven — that's where the next month should go.
Hoser's Take
The photography is excellent and the product pages are the weak link: features are listed, but nothing tells a buyer why this gear survives a real winter shift. Reviews are collected and hidden below the fold. Paid traffic lands on a homepage instead of the product that was advertised.

Campaigns worth running
Each one already answers the five questions GloveDrop launches from.
- 1. Field test proof series
- Who
- Cold-weather trades workers and commuters comparing options
- What
- Real shift footage of the gear on a job site, with the failure point named honestly
- When
- Weekly through the cold season
- Where
- Instagram, TikTok, YouTube
Why: Durability is the purchase objection, and only footage answers it.
- 2. Review-forward product pages
- Who
- Visitors already on a product page
- What
- Surface verified reviews and sizing answers above the fold with the exact use case named
- When
- One-time build, ongoing refresh
- Where
- Website, Email
Why: Existing traffic is already qualified; the page is what loses them.
- 3. Post-purchase education flow
- Who
- First-time buyers
- What
- Three emails on care, layering, and the next product that pairs with what they bought
- When
- Days 2, 10, and 30 after delivery
- Where
Why: Repeat purchase is cheaper than the next click, and nothing currently asks for it.

Hoser's Proof Check
This campaign can be drafted now, but any hard claim needs proof — a review, a result, a case study, or a source link — before it publishes.
