In this segment, Jimmy Kim explains the concept of "Founder Friday/Thursday" videos—short, personalized video messages recorded by the founder and sent to distinct customer segments. He outlines how to create segments using purchase data (e.g., first‑time buyers vs. repeat customers) and tailor messages to celebrate milestones, address specific challenges, or share behind‑the‑scenes content. Kim emphasizes embedding these videos in email campaigns and also sending them as direct personal emails. He cites a concrete example of a skincare brand that manually reviews each customer's purchase history and emails individualized routine recommendations, illustrating the impact of highly personalized video communication on customer loyalty and retention. The segment concludes with a call to subscribe to the podcast.
