Contrast Is Queen: The Overlooked Secret to Higher Sales, Scroll-Stopping Brands, and Killer Conversions
In this solo episode, I’m diving into something I’m wildly passionate about—contrast. Whether it’s your website, your Insta tiles, your packaging, or your trade show banners… if your brand blends in, it’s losing money. Full stop.
I see this all the time inside my programs and with 1:1 clients—gorgeous products or stunning stores that just don’t pop. And honestly? That can be fixed.
Today I’m breaking down exactly where and how to use contrast to capture attention, guide your customer’s eyes, and actually convert browsers into buyers. From CTAs and fonts to shadows, motion, and messaging—this episode is packed with examples and simple tweaks that make a huge difference.
In this episode, I cover:
- Why contrast is way more than just colour—it’s persuasion
- The sneaky website design choices that are costing you conversions
- How to fix your packaging so it actually stands out on a shelf
- Real talk about why being “on brand” is not the same as being buyable
- What Go-To Skincare had to change (and why it matters to you)
- A super handy link to check if your fonts and colours pass the readability test
If you’re a product-based business and want more sales without rebranding your entire biz—this one’s a must-listen.
